Review Summary

Café Noya is a popular downtown destination known for its cozy atmosphere and Japanese comfort food, particularly its flavorful udon dishes, variety of onigiri, and high quality matcha beverages. Many visitors appreciate the welcoming vibe and fresh, well presented meals that make it a favorite spot for studying or a casual lunch. While the restaurant receives significant praise for its delicious offerings and friendly staff, some patrons have noted concerns regarding inconsistent service speeds, occasionally small portion sizes relative to the price, and variability in flavor profiles for certain dishes.

i entered with a good mood & left with a bad one. that pretty much sums it up.

to elaborate; the service was horrible. the girl with the long pony tail is cold & gives attitude for no reason, even if you're smiling she won't exchange it.

the drink was undrinkable. i was patiently waiting to ask about the drink, when i got an'are you gonna order again or?' what in the world is this attitude? is there a problem with me standing in line?

the onigiri was very bland, they do not use the right kind of rice it falls everywhere & there is only a tablespoon of filling. at least the dango was good~ 🍡 & the place is cute

won't be coming here again nor recommending it. it's downtown there are other amazing spots i was just in a hurry this time around

Absolutely amazing! The staff were very nice & helpful! There was a wide selection, choosing just one was very difficult! The desserts were very lovely! The drinks tasted like heaven & don't get me started on the main meal! All of the dishes were divine!

Discovered this little gem while walking my regular route on my day off & saw they had Omurice, which for me is a rarity in the city. I stopped by & absolutely loved my simple meal ❤? the gravy was rich & sweet & the perfection portion, although I would have like more egg & less rice. I was only there shortly but the place is cozy as hell, welcoming & reminded me a bit of intimate little shops in Japan. I'll have to come back & try the Udon & the drinks for I kept seeing them on the lot menus & they all looked delicious, especially the ube latte. Great place to have some good Japanese comfort & a quaint convo. Or just read a book :)

I love their creamy udon! A bit pricy for the proportion but overall the taste is amazing, drinks are good, place can be packed sometimes, service can improve!

Had such a great experience at Café Noya in Montreal. The atmosphere was super cozy, the food was fresh & comforting, & the matcha drinks were amazing. Our female server was also incredibly sweet & attentive, which made the whole experience even better. You can really tell the staff care about creating a welcoming vibe. Definitely a spot I'd come back to whenever I'm in Montreal!

definitely gets busy right around 12 in the afternoon as a bunch of students come to get lunch or matcha drinks. so we did have to wait a while to order as they also don't have much staff during that time. the onigiri have a nice texture with the seaweed. I personally loved the miso & mushroom udon, it tasted like a creamy mac & cream.

Café Noya on Peel is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots! The mango matcha & strawberry drinks are the best so far. Super refreshing & perfectly balanced.

The crème brûlée & the matcha & pistachio cheesecake are absolutely out of this world. You can really taste the quality in everything they make.

On top of that, the staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely worth checking out!

The new mango matcha recipe is barely sweet & more like a puree than a syrup/jammy flavour. As a matcha fan who's been a loyal customer for months, I found this drink to be barely drinkable which is the first time I can say this about a matcha from here. Please bring back the old version!!!!

high traffic for students ! but to me that just means its probably cheap & good 😂 solid bowl of udon, nothing crazy, & nice selection of drinks. Quite small so can get full quite fast depending on when you go.
