Le Café Magda emerges in reviews as a warm, cozy neighborhood haven that feels welcoming to families, students and solo visitors alike. The ambiance is consistently described as relaxed and charming, with a tasteful decor and a bright, friendly vibe that lends itself to working, studying or simply enjoying time near the water. The coffee often stands out as a major draw, with many noting excellent, velvety lattes and well prepared cappuccinos, while the food and pastries are valued for a homemade feel, fresh ingredients and a simple yet satisfying menu that includes vegan and vegetarian options and weekend brunch. Service is generally friendly and attentive, though a rare note mentions an uneven welcome and longer waits. The café is seen as a community hub, offering a kid friendly area, a running club and other social activities, making it suitable for a quick coffee, a casual meetup or a longer stay. While some comments mention price levels or occasional noise and seating comfort, the overall sentiment is that Le Café Magda is a neighborhood gem worth returning to, particularly for work, family outings or a pleasant stop near Verdun and Lasalle.
Just minutes from the St. Lawrence River, this eco-friendly Café Magda is a perfect morning stop. Their breakfast menu is full of wholesome, locally-sourced options.
The space is bright, family-friendly, & filled with natural touches. Kids are welcome, coffee is fair-trade, & everything-from the compostable packaging to the community vibe-shows a real care for people & the planet.
A feel-good, nourishing start to your day-highly recommended.

J'ai découvert cet endroit grâce à une amie maman du quartier. Nous organisons souvent des réunions de maman ici. Les boissons & les patisseries sont toutes bonnes ! Le brunch du week-end est incroyable ! Le personnel est accueillant. L'endroit est confortable & ils ont également un espace pour enfants avec des jouets, ce qui est très pratique lorsque vous avez un enfant en bas âge . Je vois souvent d'autres enfants donc c'est bien pour eux de se faire des amis. Nous y allons presque chaque semaine & je le recommande fortement !
I discovered this place because of a mom friend in the neighbourhood. We often do mom's get together here. Drinks & treats are all good! Weekend brunch is amazing! Staff are welcoming. Place is cozy & they also have a kids area with toys that is very handy when you have a wild toddler. I see other kids often so it's good for them to make friends. We go mostly each week & i strongly recommend!
My kids & I love this place! When you are looking for a café to enjoy a cup of warmth & kind service, make your way to this spot! Great after a little walk at rapids park or for a little treat before school!
Magnifique petit café de quartier kid friendly! Le staff est hyper sympa, le café est délicieux & je rêve déjà que leur sandwich poulet grillé & pesto maison revienne sur le menu, miam!! Je recommande fortement ce petit bijou de quartier.

Joli café chaleureux & kidfriendly. On se sent bien dès qu'on y met les pieds. Le pain au bananes & les grilled cheese sont juste trop bons! Sans oublier les lattes biensur!
Habitué du Magda, ça fait du bien d'avoir non seulement un café qui n'est pas Tim Hortons à LaSalle, mais en plus avec une super vibe, des propriétaires adorables, & surtout KID-FRIENDLY! Vous y trouverez un petit coin jeu pour les enfants, & des couches dans les toilettes. À essayer: le sandwich déjeuner qui est délicieux!
A cafe that doesn't just let children in but welcomes, beckons even, kids to play is such a delight! Special spaces inside & out (we visited in summer), my toddler was particularly enticed by having his own sized table, dinosaurs & books. As parents, the communal tables, aromatic & fresh espresso & baked treats made for an equally nice moment for us. We wandered in based on visiting friends in the neighborhood, & all agreed this has all the trappings of being an ideal local spot. Thanks to the staff for creating such a delightful spot!
Ce café est super génial. La nourriture est excellente & l'ambiance donne chaud au coeur. Ils servent des options végétariennes & véganes, sont "kid friendly", ont une excellente liste de lecture musicale & sont à un pas du fleuve. C'est parfait pour une journée de travail aussi.
Not bad spot... cute local "family" Cafe good for kids but not chill vibe. Was expecting high level coffee but quality for price disappointing. Not 3rd wave for sure
Un café délicieux, une ambiance chaleureuse & un environnement kids-friendly. Il y a un petit coin pour les tout-petits avec des livres, des jouets de toute sorte. Le service est impeccable ❤️

Wonderful coffee shop. Kids friendly, they have lots of toys & books to keep the little ones busy. We ordered food, coffees & desserts, everything was delicious. I wish their menu was more adapted to children. The staff is very nice, helpful & attentive.
ENFIN! On avait vraiment besoin de ça dans le quartier. Parfait endroit pour changer d'aire quand on est en télétravail & prendre un café en travaillant. C'est même kids friendly, j'y vais avec ma petite famille. Les repas sont délicieux! ATTENTION, les brownies sont dangereusement bons...! Il paraît même que bientôt il y aura des brunch. Bien hâte d'essayer ça.
Lovely kid-friendly café, can't recommend it enough. Coffee was great, breakfast sandwich delicious & they have a small kid area with toys & books. Will def' go back with my toddler.
