Reviews for Nous Sommes CAFE x VOTTA highlight a stylish, cozy interior with upstairs seating and a central location that many find convenient for work or a break. Coffee and pastries receive broad praise, with favorites like caramel latte, strawberry latte, matcha and a well balanced espresso noted by many, though a few comments mention the espresso can be overly roasted and some drinks are too sweet. Temperature inside is a recurring issue, with cold air or insufficient heating affecting comfort and some noting higher prices for the level of comfort. The space is described as attractive and adaptable, the upstairs area offering a nice view and a calm spot for study or chat, while service pace can slow during busy periods. There are inventive touches like house made lemonades and syrupy lemonades with soda, and other playful drink combos that extend beyond standard coffee. Overall, the cafe is seen as a solid city option for quality coffee, good pastries, and a stylish atmosphere, with room for improvements in heating and throughput during peak times.
Just got back from a trip to South Korea & was already missing their coffee vibe. So happy to have found a little piece of it here in Montreal :)
Lovely ambiance, kind staff, & delicious pastries.
Just stopped in because it was across the street from my hotel. I am glad I did! I tried 2 drinks & I really enjoyed them both. Tried the black latte because it was recommended. Which I would recommend as well. I also tried the strawberry latte. Which is just strawberry puree & almond milk. I cannot stop making it since I have gone home!
Le café latte était vraiment très bon, avec un goût riche & agréable. Par contre, la pièce était assez froide, donc mon latte, qui devait me réchauffer, s'est rapidement refroidi & a fini par ressembler à un iced latte. Dommage pour le côté réconfortant, mais le goût reste excellent.
I'm in love with this coffee shop. The interior is beautiful & cosy, & the coffee is genuinely delicious. The upstairs seating is a huge plus & makes it such a great place to sit & relax. Will definitely be coming back again.

Le café est bon & l'emplacement en centre-ville est sympa, mais l'expérience a été gâchée par la température à l'intérieur.
Les prix sont franchement élevés (environ 25 % de plus que la moyenne), & à ce tarif-là, on s'attend à un minimum de confort pour se poser & passer un bon moment.
Là, il faisait vraiment froid, ce qui donne malheureusement l'impression que des économies sont faites sur le chauffage au détriment du bien-être des clients. C'est dommage, car quand on vient consommer sur place, c'est pour profiter du lieu. Un peu plus de chauffage serait vraiment apprécié par respect pour la clientèle, surtout vu le positionnement prix.
Chauffez plus pour avoir une ambiance plus chaleureuse & qu'on se sente chez soi, vous aurez plus de clients !! En plus vous êtes à côté de HEC & d'hôtels internationaux, c'est un emplacement stratégique !
Un café à l'ambiance froide, un service très lent, probablement par manque d'effectif, un chocolat chaud, bourré de sucre, & vraiment pas, bon, un matcha qui n'est pas pur car mélange de plusieurs matcha donc pas de très bonne qualité..
Vraiment déçue

Pour un café third wave, c'est décevant que le seul choix de café pour l'espresso soit aussi torréfié. Le café pour-over était bon, mais la quantité servie remplissait à peine les deux tiers de la tasse. En revanche j'ai beaucoup apprécié l'intérieur industriel & épuré & l'étage qui offre une belle vue sur le coin.
Loved the coffee here! It looks like it's pet friendly because there were two people in the cafe with dogs! Love that! I got a pumpkin spice latte & it was really good! If I'm in town again, I'll be back here!
A huge thank you to Bailey (hope I'm spelling it correctly) for the great service. I came in at the start of the lunch rush. There was a bit of a wait during which I watched her work hard to serve each client (myself included) with a kindness & a smile & fulfill several orders effectively & efficiently. Thank you Bailey for your amazing service & the great coffee!
Very cute coffee shop in the heart of the city. Their London Fog is a bit too sweet, but overall delicious ! It also has a lot of seats on the second floor, very comfortable for studying/working, I highly recommend.
