Reviews highlight Nous sommes Café as a go-to spot for bold coffee and well-made matcha and chai lattes, with espresso praised for balance and aroma, and favorites like pumpkin spice, strawberry lemonade, and strawberry milk latte mentioned along with croissants and pain au chocolat. The atmosphere is described as small but cute and bright with a warm community vibe, though the space can feel damp with limited seating and the decor could use an update. A few reviews mention rude or miscommunicated service around oat milk, though some staff are praised for being attentive and friendly, and service speed is noted as fast. Music in the shop is often cited as too loud and sometimes corrected after feedback. Overall the place is widely seen as worth a visit for coffee lovers and a simple breakfast, with an inspiring sentence on the cup adding charm, and many plan to return to try items like the dalgona latte or cappuccino.
Barista was rude this morning :( Told me to my face that I didn't order my drink with oat milk when I did (I can't drink normal milk which is what she made my drink with by accident). Still made me a new one after I politely mentioned it which was nice just was she was quite rude about it which is unfortunate as I enjoy coming here for the strawberry matcha. Strawberry matcha is always good though!
Located in the heart of the charming pedestrian Prince-Arthur Street, Nous sommes café has quickly become a must-visit spot for coffee lovers. This local gem combines simplicity, elegance, & excellence in every cup. Whether you're just passing through or a neighborhood regular, stopping here is a must.
The espresso is simply outstanding: well-balanced roast, rich aroma, & silky texture. The matcha is equally impressive-vibrant, creamy, & never bitter-a rare find in Montreal. The service is warm & attentive, always delivered with a smile. Each morning, locals drop by for a coffee & croissant on their way to work, or take a moment to sit outside & enjoy the peaceful vibe.
The café itself is bright & beautifully designed, inviting you to take a well-deserved break. It's a perfect example of a community-rooted business that adds soul to the neighborhood. More than just a coffee shop, Nous sommes café is a cozy meeting point, a place you can trust for quality & atmosphere. On top of it they always have an inspiring sentence on the cup to begin the day with a good vibe.

Super delicious matcha latte, one of the best places I've tried, the service was great too with friendly girls, however the place itself could use a little update, the inside felt damp & there were barely any seats available & the chairs & tables weren't the most comfortable ones either.
Très bon & beau petit café. Le service était très rapide & les prix sont résonnables. Mon petit matcha latee était délicieux & j'aime bien le message sur le verre
I love this little place. The matcha was delicious, the hojicha was good, the location is very cute. It is very small inside & there were not a lot of people when I went but I can imagine how hard it would be to find seats on busy days. The music is light, perfect for a cafe. Everything is a good price too, though there aren't much options for food if you were hungry. I would return for the cozy vibe & their iced matcha latte!
the matcha latte broke my heart. it was made way too milky & weak the first time & the barista was kind enough to remake it. the second time it was lumpy, not smooth, & had a poor mouth feel. i appreciated the effort, & my partners coffee was alright. for their price i expect more.

Easily the best strawberry matcha I've ever had, & one of the best things I've ever drank. The strawberry puree tasted natural & flavourful. The matcha itself was high quality & well made.
Not sure about the coffee, but I had a matcha affogato, which I didn't even know was a thing. With ice cream & matcha being two of my favourite things, it blew my mind. 5 stars.
Hojicha latte is better than matcha latte. Matcha tiramisu i like the cream but not cake. i ask for earl grey Madeleine, after I got home I realized I got chocolate one:(
I usually go to the downtown location for my matcha lattes & I wanted to try this one since I was close, safe to say, it is as good as the other one. Its one of my fav places for matcha lattes in town, i especially recommend the strawberry matcha latte, you won't regret it. The barista was very friendly too:)
my go to place when i need a solid matcha latte. my favourite cafe in the neighborhood. they never do me wrong & always great service. small space, so if you want to sit & work i wouldn't recommend it.
Tiny cozy cafe with mostly outdoor seating. The strawberry matcha latte was amazing & had real strawberry purée; highly recommend! The pastry was alright but very cute.

You know how you put on those Korean cafe ASMR videos on Youtube & then pretend you're in Korea living life? No? Just me? Oh.
Ive been dying to go to a Korean style cafe & there aren't really any in the States near me :( but Nous Sommes had me surprised even with all the other awesome French cafes.
I got the long coveted Dalgona latte, & I finally get the hype. At first, it tastes like a regular latte, but as the dalgona pieces melt, the sweet, caramelized flavor subtly mixes in. I also ate the candy pieces by itself LOL.
The matcha strawberry was also one of the best I had, the matcha was high quality (look at the color!) & the strawberry purée was made with real fruit & was almost jammy.
The tiramisu was a nice tiny dessert, but I wish I tried their matcha one. Im also glad my man got the earl grey cookie; the tea flavor wasn't overpowering, & the cream cheese(?) center added a nice touch (it reminded me of a cheese foam tea in cookie form!)
The cafe is small & minimalist (which is cool) but still very cozy!! The baristas were also super sweet!
