At Méchants pinsons, reviews describe a small, cozy neighborhood cafe with a warm, convivial vibe, friendly staff, and a focus on solid coffee and pastries. The coffee receives frequent praise, ranging from cortados and lattes to mochas and good filter options, with the atmosphere inviting conversations at the counter with cheerful baristas. Pastries such as the almond chocolate croissant are highlighted, and the place is noted for affordability and a welcoming, almost familiar feel where both staff and customers greet one another. A rare critique mentions a chai latte that felt weak and disappointing, but the overall tone emphasizes the quality of drinks, a variety of croissants and savory snacks, and a pleasant experience.
This little coffee at the corner of the street caught my interest & my curiosity. I wasn't disappointed when I entered this rather small but very chill vibe coffee shop. The baristas were gentle & the drinks matches the mood of the place: casually delicious
This place serves amazing coffee in the neighborhood. They have enough variety of croissants & savory snacks. A good place to sit, have coffee & chit chat with friends.
Nice neighborhood place, but their matcha latte & chai latte are very bland & watery. Shouldn't be on the menu, they should just serve coffee if they don't know how to make good tea. Otherwise nice place to have a chat.
This place is serving the best coffee in the neighborhood. Their croissants are amazing & I love the atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to grab a good coffee & have a quick chitchat with ppl, you're at the right place. They don't have WiFi so not the best place to work from.
This is my favourite coffee shop in the Plateau. The atmosphere in the shop is amazing & so alive. It always smells great, the employees are nice, & the decorations work really well. It's always full in the mornings. I would only encourage them to add more tea when making loose-leaf teas. I love their abricotine.
* updating my review to deduct a star on the service. Im glad I visited this place when this older guy was there - he was great & made the coffee with lots of love. Today when i went again for a 2 nd visit, this barista french chick ( im fr too fyi ) was in " such an important " conversation she didn't care to say hi or acknowledge that I was there. & I had to wait until another employee showed up. I worked as a barista & if my co worker is elsewhere i will acknowledge clients. Clients are more important than conversations with a friend. & sure maybe one employee is designated for the registration & the other for the barista work but still, my work ethics would of been to at least say " he will be right with you " . Thankfully the guy was nice - but the coffee wasn't even as good as when the other older dude made it. So im only ever buying when he is there from now on.

Excellent lattes, very yummy pastries & just a great vibe. Great selection of roasters for coffee to buy & any coffee-making tools. Great sunny spot to do some work but, beware, no wifi!
