CHAT-COLATE offers a cozy, cat themed vibe in the Old Port with warm hot chocolate, creamy ice creams and seasonal sorbets, plus quirky cat merchandise that invites lingering; the staff is generally warm and efficient and the decor earns many compliments for charm and comfort. Reviews highlight the depth of chocolate, balanced classics and a handmade feel, with seasonal flavors and dairy free options that broaden the appeal, but some note inconsistent hours, crowded small tables, and prices that can feel high for what is offered, and a few experiences mention items that don’t seem fully homemade. Taken together, CHAT-COLATE comes across as a beloved cat loving dessert stop with a playful, vintage atmosphere and a mix of indulgent treats.
First time visiting-we were just craving ice cream/sorbets. They had all the usual options, & nothing disappointed. The mango flavor was especially good.
It's a cute, cat-themed café. There was only one staff member on saturday evening, but she still delivered professional service.

Stopped on a sub-zero day for a deliciois hot chocolate in this tiny, adorable coffee/snack shop. If you love cats, you will love Chat ('cat' in French) Cholate - the cat-focussed decor & shop offerings are over the top! Offers ice cream & sorbet (we stuck to hot chocolate...it was -17°C!) for the summer months. Small, round café tables number less than 5 & are very packed together so no private conversations here. It was like being in a wonderland, the cat paraphernalia abounding. The owner is delightful, as was the experience. Pity I didn't take pictures.
It was our first visit, & this adorable cat themed café instantly stole our hearts. Tucked away in the heart of Old Port, its the kind of place where you want to slow down, soak in cozy warm atmosphere with little vintage touches.
We ordered hot chocolate, which was perfectly comforting not overly sweet, just right for a cozy pause. They also have a lovely selection of ice creams & baked treats, making it hard to choose just one 😻
This was our first time visiting, & we really enjoyed the vibe! The cat-themed decor was adorable & cozy, creating a warm & relaxing atmosphere. Both the coffee & matcha latte were very good, & the waffle smelled amazing,we'll definitely try it next time. The little cat-themed gifts were charming, & the overall space was peaceful & inviting. The service was great, & the staff were very kind to us. We truly appreciated the quiet, relaxing time at this café.
This cozy cafe in the heart of le vieux port has a vintage vibe & has endless knickknacks & decor for every car enthusiast. The store mascot is adorable & dashing. The seating is very comfortable to enjoy a cup of coffee alone or with a group. I only saw one outlet should there be a need. The staff were super friendly & proactive in service, even when it got busy. I feel much at ease in an atmosphere where the staff are apparently enjoying their work. I enjoyed the toffee but latte & even the coffee cups were super cute! I loved the attention to detail. Many small items for sale that would make great gifts. Would be happy to drop in again! The only downside was that there is no washroom on site so we had to go a bit down the street to find one.
Super cute cat-themed cafe with interesting decor & good hot chocolate. Only downside is not much seating, so you're often out of luck for a spot to stay awhile.

Nous sommes tombés par hasard sur cette boutique offrant du café & du chocolat chaud. La décoration est géniale avec des chats partout. C'est original & agréablement bien agencé. 3 petites tables pour consommer sur place, il y a une petite terrasse extérieure donnant sur la rue mais moins agréable. Je retournerai assurément
This is my second time here this week & a new go to spot for a cute little cafe. The second time I came I got a London fog with a croissant & this time I got the iced Cafe latte & both items were just as good as the other. The service was amazing both times & the overall cat theme is a cat lovers paradise. If you're looking for a cute cafe if you live here or are visiting & want souvenirs to take with you this is the place!!
Los helados muy ricos, y el café. La simpatía, amabilidad, y tratar de entender lo que quiere el cliente, es totalmente ausente. Un ambiente muy tenso, entre la encargada, la empleada y los clientes. A parte, no había aire acondicionado, que puede ser algo circunstancial, hace que la experiencia de tomar un helado se convierta en una pesadilla
Best soft serve sizes out there. Nowadays the prizes are so high for such small portions but they got the portions here right. The lady is always so kind & makes sure to give a great service. The cafe is also so cute with such nice decoration. I hope they don't change anything about that place
