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.
Had their patty, grilled cheese jerk chicken sandwich & a Jamericano… bruuuuuhhhh
Their patty crust melted in my mouth (no Diddy) & their grilled cheese was a great blend of sweet, spicy & cheesy. Went there for lunch before getting a haircut, 10/10 would recommend for someone who wants spice but has a mid-low tolerance. I would go there after a good jog around the Lachine Canal for a post run snack
I haven't tried the food, nor did I stick around for the atmosphere so I can't really speak on that, & I've only been here twice. The music is a little loud though, straight as you walk in also.
Except I'm not sure I'm gonna be coming back... I ordered a ginger drink the first time & it was awesome, figured it'll be my go to since I work in the area. But this time it came with too much ice & in a smaller cup...
When I asked about it, a different girl than the one that served me chimed in a little aggressively & said they'ran out'.. That it wasn't supposed to be served in the other size, etc..
I get it, sometimes that happens. But to charge me the same price for a smaller drink & act like its my problem was a little rude.
As a few people mentioned it kind of felt like'how dare I mention this?' , that I'm being extra when I'm just shocked that it cost me 7$ for pretty much a tiny juice.

Affordable prices for coffee & food. The breakfast sandwiches are just great & being their is such a great vibe! Im always discovering new music when i stop by
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.

Best cafe in St Henri hands down from atmosphere to food to service, I could eat these patties everyday & never get tired!
I recently tried their 1/4 jerk chicken with side of plantain - although that sets you back over $20 before tax, it was delicious & worth every cent. Came hot & juicy, sliced up all pretty with peppa sauce & green onions while the plantain was caramelized with crunchy edges. Everything was levels above your standard jerk plate & executed perfectly.
Finally, something that feels both creative & welcoming in the neighborhood. The atmosphere is chill, the decor is fun, & it's a great place to relax or meet up with friends.
The only downside during my visit was the attitude of the person at the counter. They
seemed a bit full of themselves kind of aloof & not very approachable, which felt out of place in such a laid back environment. It's not a huge deal, but it did affect the overall experience.
Still, I'd come back for the coffee & the ambiance just hoping for friendlier energy from the staff next time.
I haven't tried many things / stayed very long, but I'm in awe of this place. It is one of the best upgrades to the area since I moved here in 2018.
- rare menu items done well - excellent for people who want to try new things. My egg salad sandwich came in a high quality box as if I were being sold a watch (who is your graphic designer/printer?!)
- coffee is actually so good, has that je ne said quoi when it first hits your mouth. Best in the area easily
- the layout & design are super contemporary without feeling soulless. Tons of Jamaican art that helps makes the space what it is
- music is on vinyl all day & they have dominos
- open 7am - 9pm (this seems like the kind of place to close at like 2:45 pm but it's NOT!!!)
- full meals all day for normal prices. between the flavours & presentation / design) each plate feels crafted & thought out
The ONLY thing to be warned about is it's not super speedy. So if you're just passing by for a coffee, make sure you have 10-15 to kill even for a short line. With the quality of coffee & food I don't really see how it could be faster so it's not a criticism just a warning.
Great spot for some reallllly good food & some great vibes. Staff is courteous & laid back. Loved the patty loved the chicken super flavours all around. Feeling blessed to have discovered it & happy it's near my place.
I've been here every other day since it opened! The BEC is amazing , love the jerk grilled cheese & the 1/4 jerk is my go to. Best Jamaican food in the city if montreal. The patty is the reason to visit as well!
Chill vibe, great coffee & good music! I love their key lime pie !! Staff is super friendly too! Gotta try the spicy morning bacon & egg sandwich! It'll make your day!
