Food was pretty good, but the service was at a very leisurely pace. It is a relaxed environment, & you'd need a plenty of time to enjoy the dining experience.
The food & the coffee were good, but the service wasn't. The girl waitress never gave us a smile, even if my friends & I smiled at her; we had to call her after to take our order, to give us some coffees that were missing, utensils, & to give our bill, always with a grimace, only when she gave us the bill she tried to give us a smile only to receive a good tip. & it wasn't so busy, on the terrace there were only 4 more tables & there were 3 waiters serving, sometimes another guy served us, who was kind to us, not like the girl.
Bad service. Good food (my plate) I took the smoke salmon toast & it was really good!!! But I cannot say the same about the plates of my friends. Also I asked for a Hot Chai Latte & it was everything but hot. The waitress was rude with us, the service wasn't good at all🫠🫠😮💨😮💨 No one check on you, to see if you everything is okay...
We had a great Sunday brunch at 10 AM. Super loved the ambience plus the slow Sunday feels. The servers were friendly & polite. The food is amazing! I especially loved their'The Pigeon Special,' I wish I can have it three times a week! It was well seasoned & the mustard sauce blends all the meats together. Definitely recommend 15/10! Where we thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich, the shakshuka was another story. Don't get me wrong, it's also good. I just wished they put one or two more eggs. The tomatoes were ripe & perfectly seasoned. The mocha coffee was 5/5 good! Will order it again. The matcha latte, although refreshing, was a bit too milky for my taste. The ambience is just perfect for a get together over good food & drinks. :):):)
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.
Beautiful space, amazing breakfast, best cappuccino I've ever had. The blueberry pancakes were fantastic. Just delicious & beautiful all at the same time.
It may not be the worlds worst coffee but it is definitely the worlds worst service. We waited more than 30 min for one ice coffee, which was sub-par (I guess this meets the definition of the world's worst coffee). More so it was not even peak hours. I would definitely not recommend this place unless you don't mind spending 30 min for a cup of coffee.
I really wanted to like it.. I could have lived with the lengthly time to get serviced & mediocre drinks (we had sangria & aperol spritz) & the super loud music. But not the gross hair in my food & no apology. I ordered a grilled veggie sandwich chicken took a while to bring out & I thought they forgot about it. It finally arrived & the sandwich was split in half. The first half was tasty but once I picked up the second half & saw a very long black hair, (I'm blond & my friend has very short hair) I set it aside & tried hard not to gag. The server eventually took it back to the kitchen only to return with a bill & no apology. They deducted half of the cost of the sandwich:/ Sure, I ate half of it but they could have been a little apologetic about the nasty surprise. Nope. Hardly an acknowledgment.

Pretty good food & they have a nice patio to eat at. Service gets 3 because we disclosed food allergies & one of our dishes came prepared with that allergen.
J'ai récemment visité le Pigeon Espresso Bar & j'ai été très satisfait de mon expérience. Le service était rapide & efficace, ce qui est toujours un plus, surtout lorsqu'on est pressé. Les cafés étaient excellents, parmi les meilleurs que j'ai goûtés. L'ambiance du lieu est également très agréable & invitante. Je recommande fortement le Pigeon Espresso Bar à tous les amateurs de café. Vous ne serez pas déçu !
