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.
Just had a great breakfast at the pigeon cafe & our server Colton was awesome & gave us some great site seeing tips since we're from out of town. Also get the side of hot sauce they make. It's amazing!
Came in 2, was halfway full.. waited 5min by the side of the table to be talked to or told if it would be a minute or anything. Nobody in front of us, no line. plenty of free tables. Servers at the bar were looking at us not saying anything. We stayed looking around.... left after 10 minutes. nice service 8)

What a great restaurant to have in my neighborhood. Menu has alot of yummy choices. Service was fast which is great when I havey kids with me. We will return soon.
This place has gone down. I always order the classic shakshuka, & in the last 12 months, they have been unable to cook a proper one. The eggs were fully cooked & the sauce was burnt due to the cast iron pan being too hot. When it was flagged to the staff, they were unapologetic & still charged us for an uneaten dish. Such a disappointment. Will not be returning.
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.

Commande via Uber d'une Salade scoop : mix de poulet pas frais au goût dérangeant & d'un sandwich Schnitzel livré brûlé! J'ai appelé au Pigeon Café & on me répond que tout ce qu'ils peuvent faire c'est de le dire à la cuisine, & d'appeler Uber... 57,08$ pour un mauvais lunch, c'est cher payé & ça laisse sur notre faim. Allons-nous recommander? Non!
L'ambiance est ce que je préfère dans ce restaurant! Le midi, il est possible de manger sur la terrasse qui est protégée du soleil & des passants. Le soir, l'intérieur est illuminé par des guirlandes & il y a même des arbres autour des tables. Cependant, il faut s'attendre à un intérieur vraiment bruyant si vous venez en journée. Un autre bémol serait le service car il faut vraiment être persévérant pour qu'un serveur s'intéresse à nous. Par ailleurs, la nourriture est vraiment bonne, notamment l'avocado taost, les frites & la shakshuka. Vivant dans le quartier, j'y retournerais pour leur nourriture!!
