Reviews describe Pas de Problème Café as a cozy, design-forward spot where everything is made in house and the Jamaican patties are outstanding, especially the beef patty, with jerk chicken, fried chicken sandwich and plantain adding to the menu's strength and the coffee and pastries, like a coco caramel latte and oat cappuccinos, drawing frequent praise; the vibe and decor receive many compliments for a relaxed, vinyl-filled atmosphere, while some guests note that the space can feel small and seating is uncomfortable or not pregnancy-friendly; service and speed are inconsistent, with several mentions of slow or unwelcoming treatment despite the generally positive mood, and wifi is sometimes unavailable which affects those looking to work there, though the cafe remains a popular go-to for good coffee, bold flavors, and creative dishes at approachable prices; a few diners found some items overpriced or portions small, but overall the quality, flavor and atmosphere keep patrons returning for the patty, jerk grilled cheese, and coconut caramel latte.
Food & coffee are actually great. I've had their jamericano (not sure if they still have it), gingerbread latte & grilled cheese sandwich, & all were fantastic. I also enjoyed the Aesop handsoap in the bathroom - nice touch. However, everytime I've been to this place service has been terrible. Staff is rude & unwelcoming, & service is extremely slow. Don't love the seating either. Most seats are very low &/or doesn't have back support. Not pregnancy friendly at all.
Visited in January 2026. We were looking for a cozy coffee spot to eat & have a drink, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing & overpriced for what was offered.
Food: Very overpriced. We ordered the avocado toast for $15 & it was extremely underwhelming - just 2 slices of bread, two eggs on the side, & two slices of avocado placed separately (see picture for reference). Mind you, we were very surprised to be served that. It really didn't feel worth the price. We also tried the chicken grilled cheese, which mostly tasted like spicy sauce & lacked flavor overall. The only item we genuinely enjoyed was the coco caramel latte.
Service: The service was acceptable, nothing negative to say, though it was a bit slow.
Atmosphere: The decor is nice & cozy, but the space is quite small, with only about four tables & a few benches for seating.
Overall: I would recommend this place for coffee, but not for the food.

OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE!! I am obsessed with oatmeal raisin cookies & this is best I have ever had. Just get the cookie.
Also tried a flat white it was good & the ginger bread latte, it was also good. The vibe is really cool inside, great place to go chill. Coffees are on the more expensive side but they are using high quality beans & specialty syrups if ur into that, you are paying for the atmosphere too.
This is such a nice spot! Just kinda sad they don't have WiFi, I understand but still! I had a chai latte & it was beautifully spiced & their chicken Jamaican paddy was delicious. With tip the total came to 15$. Highly recommend! Unless you need a cafe to do some work at
The chocolate cookie is a must for sure, & the Jamaican patties are really good. It was worth the wait for sure because we arrived early. The latte is ok nothing wow but the americano taste really good.
J'adore ce petit spot. Endroit pour chiller tranquillement sur un petit sofa, un bon pâté boeuf Jamaïcain....un petit Latté & en prime de la bonne musique sur vinyle 👌 Pour les stressés ou les pressés aller ailleurs, comme le nom du café le dit si bien....pas de problèmes 😄
The environment of the restaurant was really nice. I really like what they did with the decor & ambiance. It's a modern take on Jamaican restaurant/cafe which I find is a really unique concept. To add, staff was really nice & attentive to us. Although, for the amount of food you get, it's quite pricey. I would come here to study & have a small snack but not really a spot to have a full meal.
The place looks nice. It's got nice decor. I had the bread & butter & jam, it was good.
However, for drinks, I can't have coffee & milk, so my usual order is chai latte with oat milk. But here their chai latte mix, is premixed with regular milk! & there's no hot tea available.
I would say, don't premix your chai mix with milk. One, In this day & age, not everyone drinks milk. Two, it makes it easier to go bad in this weather sitting in a bucket of ice.
