Review Summary

Overall, Café Tranquille is praised for a warm, welcoming vibe with plants, a cozy fireplace, and plenty of light, plus a view of the ice rink that makes it a nice place to relax, study, or chat; the coffee and sweets are solid and the Cortado and Golden latte get mentions for quality, while the space feels comfortable and spacious with options to sit by the windows or near the fireplace; however, some reviews point to inconsistent management and service, with reports of attitude issues from staff on busy mornings and weekends, and seats being monopolized for hours by students or other visitors during rink hours; the cafe stands out more for ambiance and setting than for a wide menu, and is worth a visit for those seeking a calm, stylish spot in downtown.

J'ai bien aimé leur Golden Latté au lait d'amande

The server was kind & attentive, but the place was very crowded, with some quite noisy guests. If you manage to find a table, though, the view is lovely. I recommend sitting outside, where it's usually less crowded & much quieter.

Comme beaucoup d'autres, cet endroit pourrait être tellement mieux, mais il est tellement mal géré.

Certaines baristas (les deux brunes) peuvent avoir de sérieux problèmes d'attitude, même lorsqu'elles s'absentent pendant 30 secondes & que vous devez attendre. Pourquoi ne pas garder cette énergie pour les lycéens qui viennent gâcher l'endroit & vont vapoter dans les toilettes ?

Ou pour tous les inconnus qui viennent simplement s'écrouler & répandre leurs mauvaises manières ou leur manque d'hygiène ? Cet endroit devrait être réservé aux clients qui paient, il y a un autre endroit juste à côté pour les autres.

Like many others, this place could be so much better but it's so poorly managed.
Some baristas (the two brunettes) can have serious attitude problem even when they leave for 30' & you have to wait? How about saving that energy for the high school kids that come ruin the place & go vape in the bath room?
Or to all the randos that just go in to crash & spread their poor manners or hygiene? This place should be reserved for paying customers, there is another place next door for others.

MAGNIFIQUE espace café. Nous avons été charmés par les plantes, le foyer, le mobilier & la superbe luminosité. Le Cortado & le Golden latte étaient très bon ✨. Tout comme le service de la barista présente samedi matin.
Un gros plus: le café est situé à l'étage, juste devant la patinoire de l'Esplanade.

Dimanche, nous sommes allés dans ce café. J'ai commandé un moka & mes amis ont pris des lattés. Malheureusement, après avoir bu nos boissons, nous avons tous les trois eu de fortes douleurs abdominales & des nausées. C'était une expérience très désagréable & j'espère que la direction prendra ce problème au sérieux.

the chai latte was unfortunately awful but maybe the other drinks are better. i think it can be a good place for passing by waiting time in downtown.
