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.
Had a great experience at Pigeon Cafe! Our waiter, Lucas, was amazing, super polite & welcoming. We also ordered drinks made by Molly, & they were excellent. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!
Great place for breakfast! The vibes & atmosphere here are 10/10! The food & drinks are amazing aswell! Frank was our server & made the experience great for us! Thank you for having us!

Although I am very familiar with Monkland street scene, I only recently discovered this cafe. It is a little gem: a combination, coffee shop, brasserie, bar & lounge all in one. As a coffee shop where I also work some times it is perfect: nice ambiance not very crowded & reliable internet, & good coffee :) As a brasserie they have a solid selection & the food is quite good. As a bar I don't drink much, but as a lounge I really like to come here in the evening waiting for my son that takes lessons next door & enjoy a nice meal, some tea - the staff is very friendly, food is great - I can unwind & do some light work at the end of the day - I cant really ask for more.
Great place to go on a date. Great vibe to the place. I had a cortado & it was really good. Not the best place for croissants but they have plenty of options for coffee & drinks. The interiors of the place are stunning. Would definitely recommend.
Wow wow wow! My boyfriend & I came here for a drink & small bite on my birthday & sat at the bar. Our bartender, Elle, was so sweet & funny. Lily, one of the general managers, was amazing. She gave us a ton of recommendations for places to visit while we're in town too. The drinks were incredible especially the espresso cocktails!! We got the pigs in a blanket...highly recommend. Definitely stop here if you're in the area!

They say it's the worst world coffee & you are definitely waiting for your drinks & food for a good while. Even considering this factor, I did like this place & food & drinks were really good.
I had an amazing experience here @ Pigeon! I love the atmosphere & the service. The food is just as fantastic, & the iced lattes are so good-I could drink them all day.
Good tasting food & drinks ! Service is a bit slow but that is to be expected on the weekend :) nice staff & cozy ambiance of the cafe with plenty of light & seating options.

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.
Really great place with lots of pigeon specialties! We literally came in because of the name 😂 so so cute, & a lot of their drink & food items are also pigeon spinoffs - there's also an area with pigeon merch in the back 😁 & Larry David on the wall! Great ambiance too
All the food is quality & delicious. For service, you have to flag people down a few times, but once requests are made they serve you quickly. It's a gorgeous cozy place that I wish I could have stayed in longer. Will definitely revisit. Fairy lights on the ceiling, plants everywhere & trees in the center! Trees!! & it was so clean & neat, absolutely gorgeous. It's a little pricey but very worth it. Drinks are delicious, a tad on the sweet side (which I enjoy as a sweet tooth)
Food was..fine. Interesting, unique menu. Very nice, cozy vibe, dog friendly, good drinks.. I'd say $$ & a good spot for a long catch-up session or casual date
