Overall, Pigeon Café & Bar comes across as a warm, inviting spot with a bright plant-filled interior and a strong brunch and lunch lineup, where the service is repeatedly praised for being friendly and attentive and the coffee and food, including pancakes, shakshuka, bowls and salads, and waffle fries, are generally well received; some visits are challenged by slow or inconsistent service, occasional language barriers, and prices that some feel are high for the portions, while the atmosphere and vibe encourage guests to return.
Overall, a very good experience. The staff was friendly & professional, especially Juan. He was efficient, polite & always attentive to our needs. I will return.

The service from Juan Camilo at Pigeon was top tier. Super friendly, attentive to every detail, & had such a good vibe that made the whole brunch experience even better. He walked us through the menu with a smile, gave us amazing recommendations, & checked in at just the right moments.
You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, & it shows. If you're heading to Pigeon, I hope you get seated with him 🙌🏽
Great experience at Pigeon Cafe. Juan Camilo was our waiter & was very kind & attentive. I had the Sabich Benedict & it was very yummy. Highly recommend!
We loved the food & the service! Everything was amazing. The place has a very enjoyable vibe & tasteful decoration. The waiter was very attentive & the manager came to see how we were doing. I highly recommend the onion soup, the calamaris & the mediterranean bowl.
Had dinner here & from customer service to food was a top tier experience. The dishes each have their own unique twist on what you'd expect, & Juan in particular was a perfect balance of attentive & knowledgeable. Will be making this a staple in the rotation for sure!
The best experience ever . Last week came with my mother-in-law & a friend we had breakfast . What a fantastic day first the waitress GRACE absolutely amazing my mother in law & friend 89yeats old couldn't believe how attentive & the excellent service we received. We asked for some milk usual you need to ask a few times,place is busy you can forget but not Grace she was back immediately. Breakfast arrived quickly & was delicious . The place was busy but Grace had it under control & a smile on her face. We asked for extra coffee didn't have to wait .Grace thank you 😉 The best Breakfast ever . Bravo Pigeon cafe we will be back . Grace is a keeper .
We came to this cafe late in the evening to celebrate my mom's birthday after a long day of sightseeing. We dropped in because we had seen on their site that they offered a selection of cakes. We were pleasantly surprised to see a nice interior with live flowers on the tables. The cakes were delicious. We also decided to try other dishes & drinks. Everything was great. The water was attentive & helpful. We will definitely return if we come to the area again.
Service is incredibly slow & not attentive. I've been here 3 times, & each time I've left after being sat without giving my order because i was there for 15-20 minutes without being seen
