Review Summary

Across reviews for Pigeon Espresso Bar, coffee quality is praised as superb or very good, with matcha and flat white favorites noted, while some drinks like cappuccino and certain pastries receive mixed opinions. The atmosphere is described as cozy or artsy with a quirky vibe, though space can feel cramped and the dual setup with a nearby pizza place sometimes halves the experience. Service varies from quick and friendly to average or unfriendly, and price and presentation raise mixed reactions, including disposable cups and desserts not always fresh, but the overall takeaway is a place many people enjoy for reliable coffee and a social, inviting hangout.

I needed a robust cup of coffee for a long stop & go trek across the Champlain Bridge. Fabulous fresh brewed coffee served with a smile.

Food is ok, coffee is good but the prices are different online. When you go in person it's more expensive & the menu isn't up to date.

The coffee shop is ok, but really $40 for two slices of ordinary cake, one coffee & one tea Super overpriced items, not recommended.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently visited Pigeon Espresso Bar & was absolutely blown away! The nostalgic decor instantly transported me back in time, creating a warm & inviting atmosphere that's perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. The vibe is just right-cozy yet vibrant. The baristas are incredibly skilled & passionate about their craft. I ordered a latte & a cappuccino, & both were not only delicious but beautifully crafted. The latte art was stunning, showcasing the baristas' expertise & attention to detail. If you're looking for a place that serves exceptional coffee in a charming setting, Pigeon Espresso Bar is a must-visit. I can't wait to return for more of those delightful brews!

Cafe & pizza/deli combined. The cafe part is really nice & the coffee is superb. I ordered a soy decaf latte & it was very milky. I also ordered a s'more cookie because they looked so good! In the pizza/ deli part they sell pizza slices, burgers, fries & other things. The smells were incredible & the theme was very 80/90s. It was really nice. There are some spots to work, but charging ports are limited. Service was meh.

Had their Americano & croissant. They were absolutely delicious. I prefer this over Myriade (though that one is also solid).

They use only throwable cups because they are too lazy to have normal glasses.

Franchement, pas terrible. L'endroit manque de charme, l'accueil minimaliste, viennoiserie prise avec une limonade était sans plus. Je comprends mieux le nom du café : « Pigeons » CQFD

Great little coffee spot. I came here with a book early in the morning & ordered an iced Americano with extra shots & extra ice. It was made to perfection, & it was lovely sitting outside & sipping my coffee while reading a book.

After 5 years of searching since I moved to this city, I have finally found the perfect mocha & it is right here!

One of the best coffee we had in the city. The place is very cool & welcoming. We loved the combination of coffee/ haircut/ tattoos in one place. Well designed & very friendly people. We got the T-shirt too :)
