Overall, the cafe offers a beautiful, cozy space and a solid pastry lineup, with some drinks praised for their flavor and a few standouts like lattes and matcha, but reviews are mixed on drinks and service, with some finding beverages too sweet or the espresso roasted and others noting slower service during busy times. The interior design and upstairs seating are repeatedly cited as major pluses, making it a great spot to sit, study, or relax, even though cold air inside and higher prices can dampen the experience for guests who come to linger. Downtown location near hotels and institutions adds convenience, and staff are often described as friendly and attentive, though service speed can vary. Overall, strong appeal rests on ambiance and coffee quality, with room for improvement in heat, consistency, and value.
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.
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 !
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!
From the time they had their 1st location on Prince Arthur it's always been a delight to support Nous Sommes. Their Lemon or Grapefruit -ades (syrup x soda) are house made & delicious. More than a coffee shop they'll make a lemon-ade x matcha, a strawberry latte x matcha, an artisanal PSL 🎃, great hojichas & the list goes on! I really recommend treating yourself to their special Coffee Einspanner. They make the cookies & Madeleine's themself, all of which are very delicious & not overly sugary. This location is very well situated between Square Victoria OACI & Place d'Armes métro. It's a very different look than the Prince Arthur location & I think the more industrial feel is still welcoming, especially with the private upstairs space.
Better location that the other location up north. Spacious, two floors, plenty of drink options, clean & staff are really nice. I ordered the decaf latte. Was really good. Spaces to work, wifi, plugs, all that.
We stopped by Nous Sommes Café x Votta today to duck in out of the rain & had the most wonderful hot chocolate & matcha latte! But, what was even more wonderful was the service - our barista Zack was so warm & welcoming to us, greeting us with a beaming smile & making the most exquisite hot drinks for us. Thank you Zack for such a wonderful visit & experience today! ☕️✨
I came here for a much needed charging & coffee break in downtown Montreal. This place was easy to find & had a clean restroom. The environment was nice & clean, & the drinks & pastry items were good. There were a row of seats along with a few charging outlets on the second floor. I got the einspanner latte for ~$6. The cream was rich & creamy, while the espresso gave me the mid afternoon boost that I needed.
Very tasty, got the Iced Strawberry matcha latte, iced Dalcona latte & an earl grey cookie. Can't wait to visit again! Come here if you want to experience happiness
This shop definitely felt like a mashup between a cafe & a sock shop, which sounds weird but makes for something to look at while waiting for your drink to be prepared. I ordered their Hojicha Latte with Oat Milk (props for having non-dairy options), & it was fine. Nothing about it was a standout for me but it got the job done in providing a caffeine fix. This store is much smaller than the "flagship" location inside a historical bank, & works to get your coffee/tea fix if you're in the area... & to buy some socks too.
