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.
Recently had a great time at Pigeon Cafe. The atmosphere was wonderful, We had a great server, Yaakov who was friendly, & made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend Pigeon Cafe, & if you have the pleasure of being served by Yaakov, you will enjoy your time there!
I recently visited Pigeon Cafe, & I must say, the service was exceptional thanks to Adrian! 😊 From the moment we walked in, he greeted us with a warm smile & made us feel right at home. His attentiveness & knowledge of the menu truly enhanced our dining experience. If you're at Pigeon Cafe, be sure to ask for Adrian - he's a true gem!

I came to Pigeo Cafe after a class & i was treated very good. Jai sat me down super quick with a smile. Adrian served me recommended some nice plates & served me super fast. Great customer service. Lovely atmosphere, overall great experience. I am definitely coming more often!
Coffee is good but this location is not it.... service was not good. The waitress never came to see us after we receved the food & she barely smilled. I ordered the two eggs plate & asked for sunny side up (did not get sunny side up) mistakes happen no big deel but couldnt find our waitress so asked someone else to exchange my eggs. Its not the first time i eat at Pigeon Café but selling 2 eggs plate with half an avocado, 1 tiny toast & a mini side of cucumber salad (which was hot...) for 15$ is crazy. At the one in Cote Vertu area, plate was full & had enough for my money (served with patatos, bread, eggs & had a choice of meat + waitress gave us peanut butter/jam). But Mcgill Pigeon is not the place to go... the food is not bad & the ambiance is really nice but they need to review their dishes/plate cause for the price its not generous like others Pigeon Café :/ For just a coffe on the go it okay.
Had a delicious brunch at Pigeon cafe!! We got the smoked salmon tower for 2 & the shoey's breakfast bagel, all very delicious & filling. It's not the cheapest but I do think it was worth the quality of the food.
The atmosphere of this cafe was also wonderful, especially on a cold day it was nice to be surrounded by plants & the beautiful decor.
Le pigeon café est un endroit où nous adorons aller. Luciano & JJ offrent un service impeccable, sont très accueillants, professionnels & souriants. Les cafés & smoothies sont excellents. Je recommande vivement. Merci !
Stopped by for a quick brunch before heading back to uni, & I was pleasantly surprised by the food. My friend & I shared the croissant sandwich & the eggs Benedict. The croissant was phenomenal-crispy, buttery, & filled with perfectly balanced ingredients. Special mention to the salami, which was incredibly flavorful. The eggs Benedict were spot-on, cooked to perfection, though I found it a bit disappointing that they were served on such a large plate without a side (a small salad would have made the presentation feel less empty).
The iced lattes also hit the spot-I'm a big fan of their maple latte & usually grab one to go. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this café if you're near McGill & looking for a quick, satisfying bite!

A Hidden Gem in Downtown Montreal! Pigeon Café on McGill College is a fantastic spot in the heart of downtown. With its stylish decor, friendly staff, & diverse menu, it's a place worth checking out. I've visited twice-once when it had just opened, enjoying its lovely summer terrace, & again on January 26th 2025, when I tried a delicious slice of Antoine's apple pie. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend stopping by & discovering it for yourself!

Une super belle découverte ! Le service était vraiment bon, un endroit très cozy où on s'y sent bien… Leur chai latte & cookies sont super bons Je ne peux que recommander ce café ☺️
Super café j'adore y venir entre copines ou en solo , j'ai découvert aujourd'hui avec une copine leur tarte au pommes accompagné d'une boule de glace & de crème fouetté , c'était juste absolument délicieux
J'ai voyagé depuis l'Europe jusqu'au Canada & j'ai eu le plaisir de découvrir & savourer les tartes aux pommes vendu sur place par Antoine de "chez Mima" ! Ces tartes ont un goût unique & chaleureux ! Je recommande vivement à tous ceux qui passent par ce café de goûter les pâtisserie d'Antoine !
En vacance avec ma femme nous avons fait un petit tour chez pigeon café & avons été très bien accueilli & servis. La tarte au pomme de Antoine est juste excellente ! Je recommande pour les amateurs de bonnes pâtisseries.

J'ai toujours d'excellentes expériences au Pigeon Café. La nourriture, l'ambiance & le service sont exceptionnels. Un grand bravo à Yaakov & à l'équipe pour avoir tout rendu parfait!
The food isn't bad but coffee is really bad. I've been to this cafe 3 times for a takeaway coffee, & I've always been disappointed with the coffee, it isn't the beans, it's the baristas, not trained enough.
All the workers here are amazing like Adrian & Maria that are are always bribing the best energy at the cafe & the food it actually amazing not to mention the caramel late
One of my favorite cafes & restaurants in town. Wether it's for a dessert or for brunch, this place is always enjoyable, very aesthetically pleasing & wide enough so you don't feel too close to your neighbours.
