Reviews describe Café Saint-Henri as a cozy, welcoming spot with a great atmosphere and consistently good coffee, where friendly, bilingual staff help with both English and French and the setting works for meeting friends or working. The drinks, including lattes and matcha lattes, are praised for quality, texture, and latte art, and the beans are noted as excellent, while a few visits mention pastry quality being uneven and occasional cleanliness or service issues on busy days; the cafe is popular with students, which can make seating tricky at peak times, but the space remains inviting and the overall experience often feels worth returning for.
Très déçu par Café Saint-Henri.
Le personnel est froid, peu accueillant & cynique. On a l'impression de déranger. En plus, le café est très cher pour quelque chose d'assez banal. Beaucoup d'image, peu de qualité réelle.
Very disappointed with Café Saint-Henri.
The staff felt cold, unwelcoming, & cynical. You feel more like a nuisance than a customer. On top of that, the coffee is overpriced & pretty average. Lots of branding, not much substance.
Paid for 2 pastries & 2 coffees to go & when we got home realized although we got charged for the full order the girl at the cashier forgot to put the 2nd pastry. We tried to call & no answer of course. We will not be coming back & will not recommend this place.

Super cozy place with good coffee, nice atmosphere & fast & friendly service. It is difficult to find a spot during school season as it is very popular amongst students, however, outside of busy hours it's a lovely place to visit.
If you visit this cafe, ask for Dev!
I stopped by last Saturday hoping to buy my first coffee bag for my at home setup. Dev greeted me & provided a truly amazing service. He helped me discover coffees that perfectly suited my taste, showed me how to prepare them with recipes using the tools I have at home. We had a fantastic chat, we need more cafes like this. I could not have asked for a better experience- not to mention the latte was absolutely delicious!

Delicious coffee, very cute place with comfortable space for studying, group projects, simply read a book or spend time with friends. I highly recommend the coffee & the mochaccino, but not the Chai latte !
The coffee is really the best in town... Although, its always like super hot like in a sauna or super cold like in alaska. Sometimes it hard to concentrate when you are like sweating so much or when you cant feel your hands cause you are too cold. Ive been going there for a while but It just seems they always have a problem with the temperature... Today I went in & I ask them to turn on the AC & the person was so not open to help the situation about the fact that the place feels like a sauna.

Without question top tier coffee shop. Best in verdun without question. Locally roasted coffee beans, daily drip selections & a good place if you want to buy top grade coffee beans. I find the location does lack character, I mean very cut & dry & there is not much ambience. But may be to some customers liking if they like a new clean place & no interaction with strangers.
Coffee & snacks are good. A bit expensive. They do not get refilled during the day so there's often not much choices left in the afternoon for pastries. I'm not always convinced with the service, however. The baristas are nice but they don't seem too concerned when there is a line up & coffee prep is slow. I have sometimes experienced waiting in a line of 4-5 people, 2 baristas but only 1 at the counter... & yeah, I know they have to refill & clean, etc... however, although I don't expect ultra fast but I still think it's a bit much to wait 7-10 minutes for a coffee AFTER having paid... So, yeah, I'd recommend it but only if you're not in a hurry. Nice plants.
