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.
J'ai apprécié le plat servi dans l'ensemble mais mon conjoint s'est fait servir un oeuf poche cuit dur. Le service n'a pas voulu renvoyer son assiette parce que c'est une nouvelle technique de cuisson. Il l'avait pris en extra en plus avec le toast méditerranéenne.
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!
My wife likes a dish here so we have been a few times, & every time we say it is the last time we'll come- really slow poor service & somewhat disappointing food but ok tables - modern & clean. Atmosphere is ok.
We were in from the US amid the chaos of the 2024 presidential campaign caused by "criminal & chief" Trump, so Tennessee's excellent service brought us well-prepared morning treats in a quite surprisingly elegant & comfortable atmosphere added to the rest, peace, & rejuvenation we so desperately needed! 5-star cafe & a must for an optimistic & joyous start to your day! Again, Tennessee is the best of a great service team serving excellent morning food!
Agree with another reviewer that it gets worse & worse each time you go. Food was very ordinary, nothing exceptional. It was quite bland when it shouldn't be. The waitress with the nose piercing never came to check on us, all she did was take our order. She didn't even bring us the food. We still left a 15% tip even though she deserved 0. She didn't even say thank you after we finished paying! We've been to numerous restaurants & this is the first Time someone doesn't even thank you or look you in the eyes. The audacity of being upset for not getting a higher tip when the service was non existent. The music was loud, very noisy environment. But the decor is pretty though. Terrible price to quality & quantity ratio.
This was my second visit to this café, although the decor is quaint, pretty lights with indoor trees & plants. A blend of Bombay like decor, this place has fallen very short as far as food, quality & service. Very basic. For the first time in my dining experience anywhere I have had to stop a waiter 8 times the to make sure that I had what I ordered (because they got it wrong 2e ice) & everything I needed like my coffee on refill, jam, ketchup & milk. I ordered a plain breakfast plate with poached eggs that were undercooked. The sourdough bread was stale & the taste was awful. I also ordered a slice of pecan pie ( that I took only 1 bite out of & the waitress didn't even ask if I wanted to take away or if it was satisfactory ) & this too was not fresh & the taste extremely disappointing & bland at best. As I waited with dirty plates in front of me for almost an hour after I had done eating was I only then presented with a question if I wanted the bill. Quite frankly overpriced for simplicity of what I ordered & no quality. Needless to say, I will not be returning here again especially when this busy street offers a variety of places & cafés to eat at for the same price.
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.
J'ai été très déçue par le service offert par l'équipe du Pigeon. Premièrement aucun employé ne m'a servis en français. On ne me parlait qu'en anglais malgré que je réponde en français. Ça a été très long avant qu'on vienne me voir à l'entrée pour m'attribuer une place malgré que plusieurs tables étaient disponibles. Mon ami & moi avons reçu nos assiettes avec 20 min d'écart entre les deux. Je me suis brulée le bras sur la casserole en fonte qui contenait mon plat. J'aurais aimé qu'on me prévienne que l'assiette était brûlante & de faire attention en me l'apportant car j'ai maintenant une grosse marque douloureuse. On a demandé un deuxième service de café mais on ne l'a jamais reçu. On a du rentrer à l'intérieur pour trouver quelqu'un & payer au comptoir car personne n'assurait de service de suivi à notre table. J'ai donc été surprise de constater que les options de pourboires suggérés débutaient à 18%... franchement du travail à faire pour former les serveurs à assurer un bien meilleur service à la clientèle. Je dois souligner que les repas étaient savoureux & vous avez de belles terrasses par contre.
I was there with a friend yesterday. The bagel was not toasted. We ordered poached eggs, taste mostly like vinager & not cooked properly. That was the last time we went there. Compare to what we had, price was too high. We used to go there all the time when Bagel Monkland was there. But now, unfortunately, it is not the same at all & not worth it.

Bel endroit cosy, belle décoration. Les prix sont un peut exagérés( exemple:une soupe tomate à 8,95$ sans pain, c'est un extra. Elle était trop salée)Il devrait faire un peut de ménage au plafond. La table que nous avions était pas nettoyé, ça m'a déçu car c'est un minimum. Le personnel était serviable mais long. Il faut de la patience. C'est sûr il y a toujours place à l'amélioration. Les pancakes étaient trop épais, perso, je ne recommande pas les deux plats que j'ai mentionné dans le texte. En général, j'ai aimé l'ambiance.
Tennessee provided amazing service, & brought me my hat when I didn't realize I dropped it under the table 💚 thank you so much! Great place to go to for a quick coffee, super affordable & ample seating outside, would recommend.
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 .
Accueil des plus froids avec un serveur qui en a rien à faire du client. Attente TRÈS TRÈS LONGUE (50mn). pendant ce temps là, beaucoup de temps pour observer : Beaucoup de serveurs qui ne font rien, déambulant pour faire croire que....& tournant en rond dans le resto, surtout une personne en particulier ! Nourriture correcte mais sans plus. Belle déco. TRÈS bruyant. Aucun plaisir, pourquoi y retourner ?
