Reviews of Pikolo Espresso Bar describe strong coffee, a warm, cozy atmosphere, and friendly, knowledgeable staff, with highlights including silky cortados, latte art, and a range of pastries; some comments mention well-priced options, reliable wifi, and a welcoming vibe for working, while others note occasional inconsistencies in coffee quality, crowded peak hours, limited pastry variety, and experiences that felt less inviting due to service style in certain moments; overall the place is seen as a solid go-to for a quick cafe visit or a longer study session, popular for its craft drinks that tell a story.
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.

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 !
