Café Pista offers a casual, bright vibe and a warm atmosphere that makes it a good spot for working or studying, with a varied menu and prices that feel fair for what's offered. The service receives high marks for friendliness and attentiveness, coffee is consistently praised for quality, and the indoor ambiance is cozy and pleasant with outlets available for long visits. It is described as a great place to linger, a reliable neighborhood cafe, though a few comments mention occasional dessert dryness and that access can be a bit challenging during renovations.
I visited this place because it came highly recommended & because I already love their coffee brand from the supermarket. Unfortunately, I left disappointed. The place was overcrowded, disorganized, & quite noisy. What stood out the most, though, was the service - the employees seemed overwhelmed & exhausted. I completely understand that, but if the location is always this busy, it may be time to consider hiring more staff - On a positive note, the cappuccino was delicious & perfectly made - so at least the coffee delivers!

Great artisanal coffee! If you enjoy your coffee & love geeking out on where it's from, how it's processed, brew with scales & timers, this is your kinda place!
A great stop for a quick coffee break before heading out. The cortado was well made, smooth, & enjoyable. The space is very clean with a more minimal, modern feel.
We didn't stay long about 45 minutes but it was exactly what we needed. The bagel with cream cheese & jam was simple & delicious, & hit the spot perfectly.
Efficient, fresh, & easy to enjoy when you're on the go.
One of my favorite cafes in Montreal! Love all the drinks & the desserts.
Although ever so often the desserts tend to be a little bit dry. The service is wonderful & the coffee is so good. It's cute & cozy inside & the playlist is always nice. Also really appreciate that there are outlets & you can work on the longer tables in the back or on the side. It's really quaint to work at!
On reçoit un café gratuit quand ont achète le sac d'une kilo de café ! C'est une belle geste merci ☺️ Super cool, they offer you à free coffee when you buy the 1kg bah of coffee. What a lovely gesture. Thank you I love their coffee !!!!!
Cafe Pista is one of the best coffees in Montreal! The coffee is always amazing, the vibe is super chill, & the staff are always super friendly. Great spot to work or grab a quick bite.

The wifi barely works if there are a lot of people on their laptops, so it's not a great place to work. The staff are not very friendly. It's quite dark inside, even in the middle of the day. Coffee & other drinks are decent.
Love this little neighbourhood cafe with speciality beans, nice snacks & drinks. Perfect for a brunch or breakfast with very good coffee & great service. Really enjoyed it here & the staff is very kind
