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.
I came last week & was greeted quickly by Adrian. He knew his job well & was able to help me choose something from the menu. He was able to balance/multitask while still being courteous & helpful. The food was amazing & the atmosphere was also very nice. Adrian is great!!
I was welcomed by the manager Adrian. Where do I start? He made me & my family feel so welcome & suggested delicious meals & drinks, while being aware of our allergies & restrictions to certain foods. He kept his smile & friendliness all throughout our time at pigeon. I was looking at him from afar, & I can say that he is deemed to be manager. Very skilled at his job & you can tell he loves it. Will come again thanks to the experience he gave me!

Adrian is the best server I have ever had the privilege of interacting with at Pigeon. He was so welcoming, gave me & my friend good recommendations, & was very obedient. I think that Adrian is the sole reason why I keep coming back to this Pigeon! He creates such a great dining atmosphere. I go to Pigeon just to see the smile on his cute face. 10/10 service!
The service at this place is so good! Adrian was prompt & approachable!! Big fan of the coffees they make here too! Definitely not the worst coffee in the world ahaha!
loveeeeee pigeon cafe downnn. the food is always incredible with quite a few options to choose from. the matcha latte is tea, but the highlight is always getting service from adrian. i could be having the worst day & yet he always manages to turn that frown upside down, what a lovely cheerful guy. overall incredible vibe for any time of day !

Came in Monday morning for a quick coffee break & got served by Adrian who was incredibly nice & helpful. God knows I hate Monday mornings, but he helped make my day better.
i love coming here to study when i have a long break. i've gotten great service every time, & i love the matcha latte adrian makes !! i definitely recommend this place to everyone, it's a great spot, super accessible by metro
This place is so bad I want to give them a 0, but I can't so I give it a 1…where should I start. I went in a few days ago & was greeted by a man I'm assuming he was the manager, he was balding & clearly did not want to be there, not only was he rude to me but he was rude to his own staff members. The food was disgusting I could tell they really do not care or respect their customers as I found mold on one of the blueberries. Honestly I wouldn't waste your time coming here, I have been a few times & everytime I notice major health violations. Food falling on the floor & the cooks just washing it & serving it to someone, ridiculous prices for food that has no flavour, workers being rude which is funny considering the only reason their in business is because of the customers. They clearly only care about making money not about providing a good service. If you wanted to eat food the same quality as dog food I'd just suggest going to a pet store.
The food was delish! French toast was light & full of flavour!!!!!!!
Thank you Gabriel for the great attentive service
The only con is that they do not have either lactose free or soy milk…..go figure🤷?♀?
We came here for drinks & a mid day snack on a Saturday afternoon. Super cute ambiance & decor. Espresso martini was delicious! The Mediterranean dips were divine - only feedback we had was to include more pita bread since the proportion felt a little off compared to how much dips there was. But we were able to get extra servings afterwards which was appreciated!

They have a sign that says the world's worst Coffee & it actually was. On top of it it was so weak we asked for a second shot & was charged $4.50 for one more shot for our latte.
Nous y sommes allés pour un café, comme c'est la première fois, je ne savais pas que c'était un resto jusqu'à nous y entrons. Commande deux cafés & demande si on peut s'asseoir. Le serveur nous dit que oui. Nous recevons nos cafés & une serveuse me dit que si elle à besoin de la table... ben qu'elle va nous demandé de quitter. Très bel acceuil... plutôt insultant. Je n'y remettrer plus jamais les pieds.
I would give it a 3.5/5 to be honest.
The service is fine (it can take a little bit too long sometimes to make an order).
I did not try the food but I tried the coffee & to be honest it was average even though I had higher expectations.
BUT either way the atmosphere is really incredible (I loved the wall paintings, lamps & the overall interior design; it is very well put together). Lastly, the staff are nice so it made it an enjoyable experience!
