Reviews describe Pigeon Café & Bar as a stylish, plant-filled spot with a cozy vibe that many use for coffee, pastries, and casual brunch; the decor and atmosphere are frequently praised, and the service is often described as friendly, though experiences can vary with some visits noting slow or inconsistent service, especially at busy times; some guests consider the menu and prices a bit pricey for what is offered, while others find the food and drinks high quality and worth it; a few reports mention noise and ventilation or smells from the kitchen, but overall the place is seen as a good casual hangout with strong coffee and a welcoming ambience that makes people want to return.
Hummus was very running not best I've had but I am use to fresh homemade. Service was excellent young lady from Ottawa went above & beyond. Would go back again.

We had the most amazing experience with Emily. She is truly SUCH a sweetheart & made sure we were handled with care throughout our night!! She is one of the best servers we've had🫶🏼
On y a pris un café, tout le processus à pris un peu de temps mais en soit rien de grave, en revanche il y avait une odeur de graillon qui à imprégner tout nos habits :
The coffee was great, the pastries were fresh & really tasty, & the whole place had such a cozy vibe. Just wish there were more pastry options to choose from.
My family of three went for Brunch on Easter Sunday. It was very busy & were glad that we had reservations. The host ended up being our server as well & sat us without a beverage menu. We had to get up & get our own. He must have forgotten about us because after 15 minutes he finally came over to ask us our orders. I watched our drinks sit at the counter for about 10 minutes before he brought them to us. Our food did come relatively quickly but the poached eggs were hard boiled & the pancakes were lukewarm as well as my daughter's hot chocolate. Overall, I was disappointed & would only recommend this location for the fake, dusty trees your camera phone won't capture & to only go during off times.
Nous sommes venus à deux pour le déjeuner.
Ils mentionnent, à la blague, avoir le pire café au monde, mais c'est vraiment ce qu'on a expérimenté. Le café filtre était en fait un americano trop allongé avec goût de brûlé, très décevant. Nous n'avons tous les deux pas fini notre café ce qui ne nous arrive jamais d'habitude!
Le breakfast bagel était correct sans plus. Le salami de boeuf ressemble à de la baloney. Petite portion.
Le shakshuka labneh & halloumi manquait de goût. Aucune épice, ca goûtait la tomate. Une seule tranche de halloumi dedans. Le pain qui accompagnait n'était clairement pas frais.
Ambience bonne & beau décor, mais service lent. On a du se lever pour aller payer au comptoir, & ils ne sont jamais venus desservir nos assiettes.
I got a caramel latte & chocolate croissant! They were both amaaazing & I'm really picky with my coffee💕 the croissant was really fresh it tasted great

Love this place. Stopped in to work while travelling on business. I ordered a latte & the Marguez. It was unbelievably tasty. I was expecting more of a diner type food, but this was 3 notches above that!. Awesome stuff!
Love the atmosphere, food is ok pricey for what you are getting according to me.
The service is below 3. To have gone 3 times in different moment of the year it was terrible the 3 times. I know that if I go there I'll have to be really patient to get the order taken & brang ... 1h15 total would be minimum average to get your order taken & get your food. If you are lucky ... As even a coffee can take 30 min to get. Once we only order humus platter it took over 30 min ... 👀
You often feel forgotten by the waitress/waiters.
So overall it's good spot if you are not in a rush ... Food is ok.
Magnifique petit café, la cuisine est délicieuse, le service est rapide, belle ambiance. L'accueil est chaleureux & le serveur était très gentil & professionnel. Nous étions 12 personnes & nous avons apprécié notre moment passé à ce café.
