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.
Je fréquente Pikolo depuis des années pour sa sélection de cafés aromatiques, ses délicieuses viennoiseries (dont les incomparables croissants au beurre de Hof Kelsten), son atmosphère branchée & ses prix démocratiques. Sans compter les baristas aguerris qui préparent un espresso d'exception irrésistible.
everything was perfect. we were in mtl for 2 days & came here twice both days, obsessed. i had maybe 5 cortados. they were perfect. latte art gorgeous & silky perfect drinks. staff is sweet & patient. croissant & cheddar Jalapeno thing were both great. driving home rn & already missing this place. save this place & come here❤?
Loved this place! Good, strong coffee & fresh baked goods. Very friendly barista who recommended a drag show to us when we asked what was fun to do in Montreal (had a great time there too).
Le gérant de ce café est super!
J'ai marché près du café ce matin, une femme avec des problèmes santé mentale m'a suivi, elle n'a pas arrêté de m'insulter & j'avais peur qu'elle devienne violente. Donc j'ai caché dans le café Pikolo.
Le gérant m'a aidé avec beaucoup de gentillesse. Je voulais checker les endroits avant d'appeler la police, il a vérifié les coins, la femme est partie, j'ai pu continuer ma route.
Un grand merci à vous !
