Cafe Tere comes across as a small, beautifully designed cafe on a pedestrian street with a calm, welcoming vibe that suits studying, working, or catching up with friends. The coffee and matcha are consistently praised for quality and flavor, with some drinks featuring house-made syrups and a smooth, balanced profile. The menu highlights healthy options like smoothie bowls and energy bites, with gluten-free choices and an approach that feels naturopath-inspired. The space is cozy and elegant, with warm lighting and thoughtful decor that creates a homey yet stylish atmosphere that invites lingering. The staff are frequently noted for friendliness and attentive service, though one review mentions occasional delays during a rush. Overall Cafe Tere is seen as a standout, a hidden gem in the area offering reliable coffee, delicious pastries and a serene ambiance that supports both concentration and relaxation.
Everything is fine about this place. It's just not my type of environment. However, if you are comfortable in tight spaces, like a dessert 🏜? simplicity vibe & enjoy eating natural food without much spices. It's perfect! I won't return but I encourage you to try, the owner is a beautiful soul & without her spirit, the place would be dull 😅

Perhaps the nicest barista i've ever encountered. Didnt catch her name but she was such a ray of sunshine, helped me decide my drink & took her time making it. Great pumpkin spice latte, perfect foam, attentive service from everyone, & a comfortable environment.
Someone who was presumably the owner, or perhaps just a barista on a power trip, yelled from behind the counter to inform me of their no laptop on weekend policy. I don't have a problem with the policy, but rather the way it was communicated to me in an agressive tone with 10 other customers around. Mind you, this policy isn't listed on the website or at the counter before ordering. Do better.
Satisfying espresso based beverages. Nothing extraordinary but very decent.
Great little spot. It does get noisy, if small groups come in for aninated conversation. It is really not that big of a place.
No fluff & simple place. Get your fill, do your work, get your chat on (or people watch during the Summer since it is a pedestrian street). Repeat. It's that kind of place.
Thumbs up for the service. Love the friendliness.

Quelle belle découverte, le lieu est reposant & agréable, les boissons sont préparées avec un extrême soin (me pose des questions sur comment je veux mon matcha sucré sur une échelle de 1-10, me propose de l'eau pétillante…) l'expérience a été rendu agréable notamment par la présence de Myriam, la barista, qui est au petit soin & qui fera tout pour vous satisfaire
Beautiful, cozy coffee shop with a relaxing atmosphere. The decor is really nice & gives the space such a warm feel. The staff is great & the coffee is amazing. Highly recommend!
Un véritable petit bijou! Ce café/smoothie bar est devenu mon nouveau coup de coeur. Tout est préparé avec soin, les bols sont frais, savoureux & tellement bien présentés. L'endroit dégage une atmosphère douce & accueillante, parfaite pour prendre une pause.
& que dire de la proprio - d'une gentillesse remarquable. On ressent tout de suite sa passion & son attention pour chaque client.
Un endroit où on revient avec plaisir, autant pour la qualité que pour l'énergie chaleureuse qui s'en dégage. ❤?
