Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Pikolo Espresso Bar as a bright, cozy spot with friendly, knowledgeable staff and strong coffee, complemented by delicious pastries and a chic atmosphere. Espresso drinks are frequently praised for their smoothness and latte art, and the matcha and other drinks are well received. The location, convenient wifi, and welcoming service are noted, with staff often described as patient and helpful in making recommendations. Many visitors praise the croissants, donuts, and inventive drinks like the summer slush, which many describe as balanced and flavorful. However a few comments point to a recent dip in coffee quality for some lattes, limited food options, a small space that gets crowded, and practical hiccups such as cups for iced drinks and occasionally unfriendly staff. Overall Pikolo remains a solid local favorite for crafted drinks and good vibes, with experiences varying by visit.

Unfortunately, although my iced matcha was yummy, they served it in a cup only made for hot drinks, which proceeded to literally melt away within minutes due to condensation. I had to drink very quickly so it didn't fall apart (it was a very humid day - the cup was squishing in my hand). Ink from the label leaked onto my hands.

I know it's typical/traditional to order a matcha hot, but I think to serve iced drinks, they should provide suitable cups. It's understandable if they ran out, but nobody let me know before I received my drink (I would've ordered something else.)

Overall, the matcha & service were pretty good, but this ruined my experience.

Solid matcha latte, but croissant was quite lackluster. Had it been warm or less hard, I feel like I would've enjoyed it more. Came here when I was wondering around Montreal looking for caffeine/food that was open before 10AM. Wouldn't be my first choice for coffee + pastries but gets the job done in a pinch.

Café localisé dans le quartier des arts. Il est bien agencé mais un peu simpliste au niveau de la décoration, froid, toilette dans un coin sans plus.
Le service etait bien mais pas exceptionnel. Peut être une fin de journée.
Le cortado etait bon & le matcha etait bon également mais j´ai connu mieux.
Ils ont un grand choix de thé & de café.
Il n´y avait plus rien de sucré quand on est arrivé malheureusement.

Really poorly done matcha unfortunately, wasn't whisked at all just placed in the cup with water & milk so it had no flavor & was full of grains. Defs needs to be altered

Chai was fairly poor. No music/ambiance. Matcha was good. Staff polite.
