It's a nice place for a quick bite . Love the decor .
The server was off his game . Not sure he wanted to be there .
But all in all itvduc not spoil the morning
Really enjoyed spending time here. The food was flavorful, the employees were kind & welcoming, & ordering didn't take long at all. The place also had a very pleasant atmosphere. I'd definitely return to try more menu options later on.
Not a very extensive menu, especially not a lot of choices for kids. But what we ordered tasted good & fresh.
Service was slow even when the restaurant was not at full capacity.
Staff were more interested in chatting at the bar not to mention the foul language used by one them the food was ok but coffee terrible not what i expected
This spot is top-tier. The warm atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The main courses & the sides were all amazing. Service was professional & friendly throughout our visit. A really special place that I'll be telling everyone about for a long time to come.

Me & my husband had a wonderful time last night, the food was delicious! The barista working was amazing, she was such a sweet girl & we could tell that she was doing alot of work in the restaurant.
Mardi soir, j'ai dîné au Pigeon Café & ce fut une très belle expérience. L'ambiance était chaleureuse & détendue, parfaite pour passer une soirée agréable. La nourriture était délicieuse, bien présentée & pleine de saveurs, on sent que les ingrédients sont de qualité & que les plats sont préparés avec soin.
Un grand merci au barista Lucas, qui a préparé un café exceptionnel pour accompagner le repas. Son attention aux détails & sa passion pour le café se ressentent vraiment dans chaque tasse.
Je tiens aussi à souligner le service impeccable de Jacob, notre serveur. Il était attentif, sympathique & très professionnel tout au long de la soirée, ce qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus agréable.
En résumé, une excellente soirée au Pigeon Café que je recommande sans hésitation. J'y retournerai certainement !
Stopped by Pigeon Cafe on Monkland yesterday with a few of my friends & it was a really enjoyable vibe & place to be. The staff is amazing & Lucas & Jacob gave my friends & I really good service.
