Pigeon Café & Bar offers a stylish, welcoming space with many praising the brunch and coffee, including flavorful, well presented dishes and appealing pastries, and the venue is noted as a good spot for casual meetups or celebrations. On the downside, service and value are inconsistent, with reports of slow and understaffed service during busy times, meals arriving cold or tasting average, and prices that some feel are high; the acoustic quality and noise level can be very high, sometimes dampening the experience, though several visits highlight friendly staff and great personal touches that enhance the visit.
I went to have breakfast with a friend, I ordered 2 eggs suny side up with bacon. I received the smallest 2 eggs you can imagine, 3 small strips of bacon with only on slice of toast & when I asked for a second slice of toast the waitress told me it is an addition charge of $1.50 which I refused to pay only for the principal.
The total breakfast was $19.00 plus tax plus tip.
I will never go back to this dump.
Quaint Cafe. Feels like you could be in Europe on a patio, but you are inside. Specializes in breakfast & brunch items, portion sizes are large & prices fair. A different experience compared to a standard coffee shop

Lovely atmosphère & delicious food, but pricey. Great service as well. I recommend the Benedict eggs.
Small detail - coffees are not included with the dish. Breakfast for two cost $47...
Ordered from uber eats & hot food was delicious (Shoey's breakfast bagel with perfect runny yolk) & yogurt with fruit & granola was healthy, crunchy, sweet & tart, perfectly balanced & huge!
We went for breakfast today, & the service was terrible. From the start, the hostess was very unwelcoming. The server we were assigned was plain rude & didn't bother hiding his disdain towards us. While i understand people are human & may have off days, this behavior was simply non excusable given we haven't done anything to warrant his rudeness. For a place that is selling an ambiance rather than quality food, i was shocked at how unfriendly the staff were. This whole experience made us feel unwelcomed & like we were a bother just by being there.

Great food & excellent service, I had the breakfast sandwich & I was happily suprised. Good vibes all around the restaurant from the waitresses Olivia & Brielle. Will be back!
Had breakfast with a couple of buddies. Service was friendly & efficient. Prices were a bit higher than the competition. Granola with fruit, yoghurt & fruit was a generous portion & recommended. Coffee wasn't to my liking & could use an upgrade on the blend. Place was quiet at 9 am but got busy at 10:30 am. Would go back.
Nice decor, walls have cool art designs, there's a terrasse for outdoor eating, the food is good, the service is great & the coffee is better than any other breakfast place in the area. Highly recommend!
Got the Shakshuka with halloumi & labneh, it was good. The restaurant was beautiful & clean. The host was nice & welcoming. The server was unfriendly & gave bare minimum effort, she failed to check on us. She just took our order, gave our food, & gave our bill. Music did not match the atmosphere. We definitely did not want to be listening to techno rave music during breakfast.
Went on a Saturday for breakfast with 6 people with the understanding that we'd have to leave after 2 hours. Place practically empty we were forced out. Were is the logic?
Stepping into Pigeon Café feels like entering a cozy oasis. You're greeted by a charming interior adorned with plenty of greenery &, notably, live flowers adorning each table. The ambiance is cozy & inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind & enjoy a meal. One of the highlights of Pigeon Café is the warm & welcoming atmosphere. Unlike many establishments, the staff here go above & beyond to ensure a personalized experience. Instead of simply seating us at any available table, our waiter kindly allowed us to choose our own spot. As for the food, it exceeded my expectations. My steak was cooked to perfection, boasting impeccable flavor & tenderness. The accompanying sauce was a true culinary delight, elevating the dish to new heights. & let's not forget the dessert selection, which offered a tantalizing array of options to satisfy any sweet tooth. Last but certainly not least, a mention must be made of the coffee. Rich, aromatic, & expertly brewed, it provided the perfect ending to an already exceptional meal. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Green Haven Cafe for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Its unique charm & excellent service make it a standout dining destination.

Very noisy inside restaurant + coffee not included with breakfast so have to pay extra which is odd & unlike other breakfast places. Otherwise good, staff friendly & service is usually fast/efficient except for that one time. Food tasty & stands out from other places in selections offered.
First time visiting. Definitely a place I would visit again as it is something visually appealing apart from the great service & food it was very joyful. I tried their breakfast menu & specifically the shakshuka. Great presentation overall, great quality ingredients & mix of Punchy flavors with the pine nuts pomegranates sauce bread & halloum cheese to name a few. The tomato sauce was a tad on the acidic side, otherwise wow. & yes, a proper freshly squeezed orange juice to add to the delight. I am definitely going to try other items next time around.
Ordering a simple two-egg breakfast, you expect to get 2 pieces of toast. Instead, they embarrassingly cheap out & take one tiny piece of toast & cut it into two. I asked for tea. Typically you bring a little metal teapot. Instead, they bring the tea bag & the cup. Tea is best enjoyed steeped. Most decent restaurants offer this. We weren't checked on during the meal, or offered more hot water or coffee. When I motioned the server over to ask for more hot water, she was about to go get it without asking if my friend wanted more coffee, which she did. My friend had a simple salad with no meat in it. The bill was 47$ plus tip. The place was empty, so it's not as if the servers were under stress. Perhaps they're getting that chain attitude, where quality & customer service starts to slip.
I ordered the shakshuka & sweet, they bring only one fork for both dishes,the waiter was tuff, he gets angry because I change the chair direction, the coffee not free like other breakfast shop. only the atmosphere was good.
This place was such a vibe! Very beautiful inside & out. We tried the breakfast/lunch menu. It was a bit smaller than expected. Prices were a bit more higher than expected. They had a great selection in bar drinks & hot beverages. I ordered the basic salmon avo toast, & my friend for the shakshua which was very delicious to add a gingerbread latte & to end with key lime pie dessert. The service was great, I definitely would come back to try their dinner menu!
