Un accueil exclusivement en anglais, ce que je trouve inadéquat dans un environnement où on essaie de protèger la langue française.

On nous demande un pourboire avant le service, ce qui me pose grande question. Je laisse donc un 15% espérant un service à venir de qualité. Malheureusement, le flatwhite commandé n'est pas si bon ni si texturé & nous devons aller le chercher juste après nous être installé & les tables ne sont débarrassées que lorsque de nouveaux clients s'y installe.

Je recommande de ne pas laissé de pourboire avant d'avoir été servie & d'avoir terminé sa consommation.

Super rude staff, I've come here two days running & both days they've been hostile for no apparent reason. I got told off because I didn't specify on ordering that my coffee wasn't takeaway on the first day, then shouted at aggressively for standing outside before opening on day 2 as the waiter wanted to put a sign outside where I was standing. Maybe it's because I'm a tourist & I don't speak French? Anyway, the coffee & pastries are good & it opens earliest in the area, so depending on your priorities/tolerance for hostility could still be worth a visit

Stopped in for a quick coffee & snack. This place was great! The barista was attentive & made the coffees just right. Also got a carrot muffin that was soft & sweet, it hit the spot. The ambience is nice & quiet, seems like a good place to get work done or just enjoy a moment. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

In Montréal for a conference, staying at the Doubletree. Went to Pikolo four times in three days. Great coffee, friendly staff, good space to work from for a bit. My Montréal centre-ville coffee shop.
