Overall, reviews portray Pigeon Café & Bar as a stylish, cozy spot with a bright vibe and a strong brunch and coffee focus, offering Mediterranean inspired dishes like shakshuka, avocado toast and falafel, along with tasty pastries. The atmosphere and decor are frequently praised, though it can be loud and crowded at peak times. Food is generally well received when prepared well, but service is noted as inconsistent and at times slow or understaffed, with some orders arriving late or meals not matching expectations for the price. Prices are often described as high or overpriced for the value, yet many guests still enjoy the experience for casual meals, brunch, or social gatherings. The venue is described as suitable for events, with reviews highlighting friendly staff and good presentation, while others warn that service quality can vary across visits and locations.
Quick service, great atmosphere, but some points to make on the food. My friend had an iced vanilla latte with oat milk while I had an iced caramel latte with regular milk, & we both genuinely couldn't figure out which one was which because they both tasted the same. No hint of caramel nor vanilla in both. The fries were cold. The sandwich we ordered wasn't that bad, but considering there was no chicken, meat, or fish on it (only vegetables & two mini slices of grilled halloumi), we were expecting more flavor for the price. The flavor mostly came from the pesto sauce. What you see in the first picture was around 40$. They had a nice pastry selection. Free parking & we were seated immediately on a Sunday afternoon.
The waiters are the best, my waitress Loukia made me the BEST cappuccino !!! Love the food at pigeon. I recommend the blueberry pancakes & the falafel sandwich.

Very cozy & aesthetic atmosphere with friendly service. I wasnt sure what to get because I'm a picky eater but the server Adrien was very helpful & recommended a spicy chicken sandwich. I loved it! For sure coming back for more.
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!
What an electrifying experience. My waitress Olivia gave impeccable service. She was attentive, kind, & charming. I had a delicious grilled cheese sandwich & vanilla latte. As good as the food was the service is really what is going to have me coming back. I need something reliable during work lunches & knowing I have a waitress like Olivia serving me will have me coming back as often as I can.
The atmosphere & the service are usually on point. The servers are always very sweet & helpful . The food is ok, but it's also mostly a lounge/coffee place so do expect over the top food. I ordered a fillet & it was kind of dry & very small , spent 40$ on it. Not worth it. It's best to go for something lighter like their sandwiches, burgers, salads & pasta. Overall the food is 3.5/5.
What a beautiful place. The cafe's decor created a nice ambiance. It made me forget we were still in the middle of winter. The food was amazing. I took one bite of my veggie sandwich & wow. Definitely going back!

It's ok. Food is a little bland & not very original. Also expensive for what it is: a tuna sandwich with commercial fries was $18, as an example. Service was courteous & quick. To each their own but I don't think I'll be going back.
I ordered takeout on a random weekday morning before 9. Hardly any customers in the store. The place is such a vibe. The meal although expensive, was so worth it. The iced drink was perfect. The egg sandwich was made on a delicious brioche bun. Would definitely recommend if you wanna treat yourself!
Place is cute, staff is great. But the food was blah. No seasoning to the chicken salad sandwich. Hardly any dressing to the salad. Just ok, maybe try it for dinner instead of lunch.
I was very disappointed with my food we were 4and shocked by the food which was not fresh hard bread sandwich was terrible eggs were cold I am not convinced that this restaurant has skilled cooks & they are not checking what they are prepar9and serving us too expensive nothing on the plates very big disappointment .
