Reviews describe Café Reine Garçon as a cozy, inviting spot with a great vibe where coffee is consistently praised and pastries like carrot cake and brownies are standout treats. Drink options such as flat whites and macchiatos are noted for quality, and the overall atmosphere blends cosiness with a trendy feel. The cafe is celebrated for its welcoming and inclusive staff and a sense of community, with a decor that feels unique and touches of history; pain perdu is noted by some as a highlight. Some comments point out that gluten free options are limited, but the place is still regarded as one of the best coffee spots in town, with early hours being a bonus.
Je recommande d'y aller, particulièrement pour les boissons saisonnières. Dans la dernière année, chacune était excellente.
Ce n'est cependant pas un endroit où s'installer longtemps puisqu'il y a peu de tables & c'est assez sombre.
Ce n'est pas non plus le meilleur endroit où prendre son café le matin puisque ça m'est déjà arrivé que le café soit fermé à mon arrivée, malgré qu'il soit après l'heure d'ouverture.

My local coffee shop when I first moved back to mtl, have moved several times since & keep coming back here. Great vibe, info on cultural stuff (queer & other) friendly staff, all around good.
Truly the best cafe in Montreal, I love this place so much! Staff are so lovely, drinks are very well prepared, & whatever pastries they have up front for the day consistently exceed expectations. This is more than a cafe, it's a place to gather & make community!
The flat white I had here was simply delightful. The pastries are not too sweet. The brownies here are addicting. A very unique decor & inviting atmosphere. Love it
Super café! On a pris un chai latté glacé, puis un café latté à l'avoine qui étaient tous les deux trop bons! Ça fait du bien d'être entourées de personnes queer. 🤍
I have had one of the most flavourful coffees here! it's very rich, deep grain & sweet but also'onctueuse'!
In my experience of reviewing as many local coffees as I could this year, I decided to venture on Duluth & found this place open early which is a bonus for morning folks like myself.
Now unfortunately gluten free options are limited ! you can get a dates' square but not much else - however the coffee was just as good as I expected; one of the best coffees I had in the plateau. They also seem inclusive with their decoration & Pro-Palestine Poster!
