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.

There is nothing special about this coffee shop. We drove there specially & were a little disappointed. The paper cups they used were also of poor quality & became too soft to hold after a while.

One of my favorites coffee shops in Montreal. Awesome espressos & mochaccinos. E você pode encontrar café brasileiro aqui, especialmente os da Monogram.

Exellent coffee but I feel there's always a coffee shop closer, so I don't end up making a detour to go to Pikolo. Standard 3rd wave coffee counter.

Pikolo is a delightful little coffee haven that quickly became my favorite spot in town. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped by a warm & welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. The rustic decor, comfortable seating, & soft ambient lighting make it the perfect place to unwind, whether you're catching up with friends or enjoying some quiet time alone. The coffee at Pikolo is simply outstanding. Each cup is brewed to perfection, showcasing rich, robust flavors that delight the palate. Their menu features a variety of options, from classic espressos & lattes to unique seasonal specialties. Every drink I've tried has been consistently excellent, with a level of craftsmanship that reflects their passion for great coffee. But what truly sets Pikolo apart is the friendly & attentive staff. They go above & beyond to make sure every visit is a pleasant experience. Their baked goods are fresh & flavourful, the perfect complement to a steaming cup of coffee Overall, Pikolo is a gem of a coffee shop that combines exceptional coffee, a cozy atmosphere, & outstanding service. It's a place where you can relax, recharge, & savor the simple joy of a great cup of coffee. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a cozy retreat in the heart of the city.

The atmosphere of the place is alright. Nothing unique, the service seems very robotic & 1 of the baristas has nails about 3 inches long. That feels unsanitary & recall that in the restaurant industry (not coffee shops) nails should be short. Besides what can be perceived as unsanitary & the very robotic greeting. I decided to have a latte anyways..... Today's latte tasted like old water.

This hidden gem of a coffee shop was a delightful find! They offer a wide variety of coffee beans for purchase, all sourced from excellent origins. The best thing is that they can grind the coffee beans for you, making it super convenient for home brewing. The cold brew this season was incredibly smooth, with a perfectly balanced flavor profile that complemented the coffee beans beautifully. Highly recommended, & I can't wait to come back & try more flavors👍
