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.
Magnifique café avec une tout aussi belle ambiance! Le smoothie fraise-pêche-menthe était délicieux & le staff/les proprios sont incroyables. Bravo!! À visiter absolument🙏🏾

J'y suis allé avec ma famille pour déjeuner & nous avons tous trouvé le sandwich & les patates déjeuner simples & délicieux. Le café & le chai latte étaient aussi supers. On cherche à revenir à LaSalle dans la prochaine année & on espère rendre cet endroit une place qu'on fréquente souvent :) // Went there for breakfast with my family & we all really enjoyed the simple yet flavorful breakfast sandwich & potatoes. The coffee & chai latte were also terrific. Looking to move back to LaSalle in the next year & hoping we can make this a regular place to visit :)
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!
Amazing coffee place in the neighborhood - great coffee, delicious food & very friendly service! Great space to work for a bit or bring your family as well! Highly recommend!
Mon déjeuner de bagel au saumon était fort généreux, délicieux & abordable. Pis les patates!!! Smoothie surprenant au chia, chanvre & bananes. Service sympathique & ambiance cuisine familiale. Espace lumineux & artistique. J'aime!
Très sympathique café de quartier! Les proprios sont gentils & attentionnés. Gros coup de coeur pour leur 5@7 du jeudi, où les familles se mêlent devant le café, en buvant un verre de vin, pendant que les enfants jouent avec les jouets du café (tellement pratique de ne pas avoir à traîner ça en plus)
We went for breakfast for the very first time & it definitely WON'T be our last. The coffee was really good. I would just like to have cream please. Enjoyed every bite.

We found this wonderful cafe a 5 minute walk from our vacation stay. This place was so good & so quaint that we went two days in a row! Our first day, the barista was so kind & friendly & switched to English immediately once he found out that we were from the U.S. He even wrote down a few restaurant recommendations in the area for us! We both ordered a machiato with oatmilk. It was a little strong but I think we're use to it a little differently in the U.S. We both ordered the Smoked Salmon Bagel but asked for vegan cream cheese (made from cashews). It had a sesame bagel (from a local bakery), capers, red onion & a lemon wedge. The bagel was soft & chewy & the sandwich itself was wonderful. The second day we both got a mochaccino with oat milk. More our taste & it was very good, just a hint of chocolate, not too sweet. He ordered the seasonal herb & vegetable omelet, apple maple sausage, smashed potatoes, cinnamon raisin bread & homemade jam. I had the smoothie bowl with sliced nectarine, granola, chia seeds & hemp hearts, with toasted coconut & cashew butter. You can tell everything is homemade! I also got a chocolate filled croissant! All their pastries & baked goods are vegan! I wish there was a cafe like this near me. I would give them all my money!
Finally a nice cozy spot in LaSalle that is not "commercial". Different, nice decor & tasty food & beverage!! Keep up the good work. Will definitely be back!!
I was happy to stumble upon this charming cafe while waiting for a friend. The latte was delicious (appreciate it milk was an option), & I the chocolatine was outstanding. I look forward to returning to try the pancakes. Staff were very welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable.
I first visited here with a friend when they first opened & loved it. Then fast forward 2 months later & I moved into the area & Magda became my local Cafe. ♡ It is such a welcoming cafe, perfect for bringing your littles as they have toys at the back & chalk to use out front for their enjoyment. It is quite small for strollers, but I have been lucky scooting in between tables with mine (& everyone seems happy to have a baby around!) The food is divine. Their pastries are vegan & are sooooo good. The pesto chicken sandwich is my fav! I also love how the owner is willing to step out & chat with her guests ♡ I look forward to attending their 5-7 evening soon, & hope to play some music for them in the future! ♡ Congrats on the lovely little place, I can't wait to see you grow!
