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.
I have the Shoey Bagel & it was good. Service was good also & the waitress was knowledgable. The place is nice, different decor than the other places with makes the experience more enjoyable i find.
Beautiful decor & athmosphere. Servers are always very enthausiastic & warm. It can be a bit loud though when it's lunch time because it gets full very fast. Food is amazing. I loved my avocado toast but might prefer the honey balsamic glaze on the side next time because it was very overpowering.
Great staff & the food is well presented & good quality.its so popular that is is packed, leading to such a high noise level... that everyone gets louder & loude
Nous sommes aller déjeuner aujourd'hui, service littéralement pas bon … notre serveuse est jamais venu nous voir pour savoir si tout étais à notre goût de plus aucun sourire … elle est littéralement venu nous voir que pour prendre la commande , amener nos assiette & facture ( que cela a pris 30min après que elle a pris nos assiettes & non il n'avais plus de rush à cette heure) ... triste pour une belle place comme cela d'avoir des serveur peu motivés!

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.
Endroit très agréable. L'assiette Falafel & les Pommes de terres à l'ail étaient excellentes!! L'ambiance très sympathique! Parfait pour un repas d'affaires le midi ou petit dîner le soir entre amis!
Our server was the sweetest thing & she was very helpful & on the ball. The ambiance was WOW. I did not expect such beauty when we saw it on Google but we're pretty amazed. Lovely. Will be back. Good music too!
I go to Pigeon all the time for lunch, & i's my favourite spot. Brielle & Olivia are best waitresses ever! They always treat me so kindly & their service is incredible! I highly recommend Pigeon!

just want to share our wonderful experience @ pigeon cafe! Brielle & Olivia are absolutely spectacular, they make us feel at home & the food is incredible. We go 1-2 X a week & love it!
Ce fut un brunch entre amies des plus formidables: décor original & recherché, ambiance sonore agréable (on s'entend discuter), espacement entre les tables adequat & salle de bain propre.
La cuisine m'a ravie. J'ai choisi un toast méditerranéen avec hummus, pois chiches, Grenade, fêta, pousses vertes & j'ai fait ajouter l'oeuf…. Quel délice!!! La présentation était vraiment jolie, les saveurs rares & la recherche de textures évidentes! J'ai même dit à notre serveur Francis que c'était l'un des 3 meilleurs déjeuners que j'avais pris de mon existence. Par ailleurs, le travail de ce serveur m'est apparu efficace; sa bonne humeur était évidente.
J'y retournerai, c'est assuré. Je recommande l'endroit!
(3 bémols:
-il a fallu un peu trop de temps avant que nous recevions nos cafés; c'est à dire, un peu après nos plats;
-la portion de ce toast était petite;
&
-la porte de la salle de bain n'a pas d'ouvre-porte mains libres).
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.
Went to Pigeon Cafe for the first time & I was blown away by the food, especially the avocado toast. Brielle our waitress was great & provided exceptional service.
