Review Summary

Pigeon Café & Bar is frequently praised for its beautiful, lush interior design and inviting atmosphere, making it a popular spot for brunch and casual gatherings. While many visitors highlight delicious menu items like the shakshuka, pancakes, and various sandwiches, experiences with food quality remain inconsistent, with some citing issues regarding freshness, seasoning, or portion sizes. Customer service is described as highly polarized; many patrons have enjoyed exceptional, friendly, and professional interactions with specific staff members, while others have reported instances of slow, inattentive, or even rude service. Additionally, some guests have expressed frustration over noise levels, specific policies like the weekend ban on laptops, and perceived lack of value regarding pricing and tipping structures.

Great service. Good coffee. Superb sandwich filling & fingerling potatoes.

Gluten free bread products are a challenge - I didn't prefer this bun & wish I had skipped the extra cost & had requested a different meal instead.

I had higher hopes for pigeon - food & coffee are good but the service was really not at all at the standard i expected. One of the sandwiches ordered arrived wrong & we sent it back, it took another 15 minutes to get it. My father was getting agitated (it was his order) as he needed to take his medicine. Even though I know things happen & it's ok to take time, NONE of our original waiters came to check on us. Yacoub came to take our order & afterwards didn't come back to check on us, never apologized for the order going in wrong, & would ignore us when we asked for an update. There was one woman, I didn't get her name, who checked in & apologized & was appreciative for our patience. So thanks to her, but I don't think we'll be back.

We were visiting from Toronto & absolutely loved it here. The service was great. The food was absolutely delicious. I recommend the turkey croissant. My husband got some type of chicken bowl. The spinach artichoke dip was the best we ever had!!

Though the service is friendly, it's also rather forgetful or inattentive…

Our breakfast food was small in portion & quite forgettable for $16 per. The toast was barely toasted, medium poached eggs weren't delivered (one overcooked the other very runny) & there is no bacon on the breakfast menu I guess bc the owners don't eat pork(?) & so guests don't either(?). Coffee was weak too, unfortunately.

I'd been here before a few years ago & it was better. Not sure what's happened since…
