Overall, reviews depict Pigeon Café & Bar as a warm plant filled spot that works for coffee breaks, casual brunch, and events, with a vibe built on chic decor greenery and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu earns praise for quality and variety, from well brewed coffee and pastries to shakshouka, hummus and pita, challah sandwiches, and Mediterranean bowls, with several dishes noted as particularly tasty though a few comments mention saltiness freshness or portion size. Service is repeatedly described as friendly attentive and efficient, though some visits report slower pacing, occasional mixups, or language gaps at certain locations. The ambience and seating are frequently cited as strengths, along with the ability to accommodate groups and meetings, while price and occasional noise or ventilation concerns come up in a minority of reviews. Overall this location remains a popular reliable choice with strong energy and memorable hospitality.

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.
Ethereal cafe in downtown montreal! Came from Ottawa & easily found parking underground. The latte & cappuccino were delicious. I got the spicy chicken burger - not really spicy but that's okay, the flavours were fresh & balanced. I loved the brioche bun & the salad portion was great. I didn't try the baked goods but they looked yummy!

I have eaten at Cafe Pigeon on McGill College many times, however, today was the day that I got sick. I usually order their Caesar Salad with grilled chicken & it's fresh. However, after eating the salad today I felt so nauseous & light headed. I'm sure if it was the chicken but please do better!
I had a delightful experience at Pigeon Coffee & would easily give it five stars. I enjoyed a cappuccino & a lox bagel, both of which were excellent. The bagel was particularly impressive; for $16.50, it came generously topped with a good amount of lox, making it a great value for the price. The cappuccino was rich & well-made, complementing the bagel perfectly. Despite being quite busy, the café has a charming atmosphere that makes it a pleasant place to relax. The service was a bit slow due to the crowd, but the overall experience was worth it. I'd definitely recommend Pigeon Coffee for a cozy & satisfying café visit!
Nous avons la chance pour l'anniversaire de ma maman d'avoir une serveuse en or. Mila. Bien évidemment les autres serveurs & serveuses ou tous étaient de très bonne humeur mais je tenais à souligner la délicatesse de Mila qui a su rendre l'anniversaire de ma maman très beau. En plus d'un lieu magnifique où malheureusement le café est super bon, c'est une expérience à 100% approuvée ! Merci Mila. Merci Pigeon café.
Si vous recherchez un restaurant qui vous donne l'impression de manger dans un milieu boisé avec le toit ouvert, pigeon café est l'endroit. Les portions sont raisonnables pour le prix. La nourriture est délicieuse. Le service était excellent. Cependant, ne prenez pas le thé glacé car, il est très amère.
