Reviews describe Junco as a cozy, refined spot with a warm ambiance that suits wine or cocktails and a menu that feels authentic and thoughtful. The food garners frequent praise for freshness, quality, and creative flavors, with pasta, crudo, burrata, and focaccia highlighted as standouts and several mentions of memorable spaghetti dishes. The beverage program is well regarded, offering a curated wine list and cocktails with an Italian twist, though some note that the wine selection is small and prices can feel high for the portion size. Service is consistently described as attentive and friendly, helping to enhance the overall experience, whether for a relaxed dinner, a private event, or a casual cafe vibe with a good terrace. The atmosphere, decor, and natural light receive compliments, and patrons often mention returning soon. Minor caveats include occasional noise or slower service and prices that may exceed expectations for a coffee shop, but the overall sentiment remains very positive and indicates Junco as a top neighborhood option.
Very quaint cafe, the bathroom is just as nice. Super well kept! The barista knows her coffee ☕? the music was probably a little too noisy, being an Italian style spot you'd want to be able to speak properly with someone you go there with! I may return to try the sandwiches 😊

What a wonderful evening of food & wine.
The food was not short from perfection.
Chef William masterfully cooked his'crudo' dish followed by a tumact me tulez spaghetti which was my first time trying such a unique & tasty dish of pasta packed with so many unique flavours.
I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu..
*Special mention to my waiter Jean-Philippe who knew how to suggest the best wine pairings & make me laugh with his jokes all night long. 10/10
Les bouchées sont délicieuses, mais trop chère pour la quantité, 6 plats & une bouteille de vin à 2 pour 280$ & nous avions encore faim à la fin du repas. Pour petit appétit.
Avec mon mari, on a la chance d'habiter au Mellem & d'avoir le Junco juste à côté. C'est toujours un plaisir de passer par là.
JP est toujours accueillant derrière le bar, & en cuisine, le chef William nous régale à chaque fois avec ses plats pleins de goût & de personnalité. Toute l'équipe est super, on s'y sent vraiment bien.
On sort de là en pensant déjà à la prochaine fois. On recommande sans hésiter!
J'ai pris un sandwich au jambon & je l'ai trouvé très goûteux même si un peu cher, mais tout est maintenant cher à Montréal. Le cappuccino italien était aussi très bon. L'atmosphère du resto & la déco sont très agréables. J'ai particulièrement aimé les grandes fenêtres donnant sur la rue. Le service était bon mais mériterait d'être plus attentif ( ex. Alors le sandwich il vous plait? La température de votre café est-elle correcte puisque vous aviez demandé extra chaud). Bref, bon endroit pour se poser le midi!
Nutella Macadamia milk latte 😋 amazing!! Beautiful Italian ham sandwich was incredible. So happy we have this place in the neighborhood! Will be back often 😉

Really cute cafe! I had the latte & loved it. Wasn't too small, cute mug, cute latte art. & the latte itself had a good proportion of coffee to milk. It was more smooth than bitter, but wasn't watered down. My friend had the lemonade & really liked it too!
Also very cute location! & the bathroom was nice & clean with hand soap & hand lotion 😃
Très sympa ce café-buvette ! Le café est délicieux, le service est courtois, & l'ambiance est vraiment agréable. La décoration est superbe. On y retourne sans hésiter!
L'ambiance sonore est cosy, mais pas nécessairement adaptée pour du travail qui nécessite une ambiance très calme.
J'ai adoré la lumière & la chaleur du café. Très heureuse d'avoir cette nouvelle option dans le quartier!
J'aurais aussi apprécié que les prix soient indiqués pour les viennoiseries & les articles en vente (cafés, tote bag, etc). ***Modification: c'est ajouté maintenant!***
