Review Summary

Ginkgo Café Bar is widely appreciated for its beautiful, sunlit atmosphere and flavorful menu, particularly its popular brunch items like pancakes, poutine, and unique egg dishes. While many guests enjoy the cozy, aesthetic vibe and find the food delicious and generous in portion, experiences remain inconsistent due to fluctuating service standards. Common feedback highlights the need for better staff coordination, cleaner dining areas, and more consistent attention to detail regarding menu accuracy and service timing. Despite some mixed feelings regarding pricing and occasional lapses in professionalism, many visitors find it a convenient and enjoyable spot for a casual coffee, meal, or happy hour, especially given its location.

Horrible service & burned chicken. Waffles drenched in syrup. Took the waiters 30 min to come to us & didn't even clean the table nor give us utensils until we had to flag them down

Mandated 30% gratuity & cut us off 90 minutes of bottomless mimosas 20 minutes early. Mimosas were watered down halfway through as well. Scam.

Honestly a very cute cafe, there's not much service. It's quite loud in there on a Wednesday afternoon. The food is okay, but certainly the combo is unusual. Not in a bad way, but I've never seen Mac & cheese made with penne & Parmesan before. This being said, I like the beef poutine. The cheese curds just melt into your mouth as the caramelized onion work harmoniously with the bacon bits. The sauce is certainly unique, almost close to a barbecue sauce. Very generous portion. This is not a cafe made for studying, as the room is full of chatters while the music blasts in the background.

Excellente adresse pour un lunch, surtout quand tu travailles à l'UQAM!

Ambiance agréable & service rapide.

La salade de fromage halloumi est un vrai coup de coeur : décadente, savoureuse & parfaitement exécutée.

Je recommande sans hésiter!
