Pinocchio Cafè is a cozy and welcoming neighborhood spot where the staff are consistently friendly and the space invites lingering. The cafe is dog friendly and kid friendly, making it easy to visit with family or a furry friend, and the lively yet comfortable vibe suits working, chatting, or simply enjoying a well crafted sandwich and a hot drink. The grilled cheese is a highlight, with fresh made versions such as a Grilled Mac Cheese and a brie and goat cheese combination, while the classic is crisp and indulgent and never pretentious. The drinks are also well received with good coffee, hot chocolate and homemade chai options, and there are vegetarian friendly choices. The decor feels like a living scrapbook with photos on the walls and colorful tables that add warmth, contributing to a place that feels less like a cafe and more like a friendly community hub where you can meet friends, read, or play with kids and even bring a dog. Some reviews mention busy or loud moments and a few service hiccups, but the overall tone is warm, inclusive and devoted to good food and friendly service.
Love this place to have a nice hangout with friends & kids. Spacious kids area , which is a rare find.
Food is good, & fresh, & many great made to order options. The coffee is good & the brookies are yummy! The service is great, you can tell it's always made with heart.
A couple drawbacks: wishing that the sandwiches were a bit more filling for the price. Not a deal-breaker because I think the product is good. The other drawback is there is not change table in the bathroom . Would be very helpful.
Despitw this, I'll be coming back again & again :)
Delicious grill cheese, sandwiches & coffees. They have a kids corner which is greatly appreciated by parents. The only thing to keep in mind is that they don't have a changing table for babies. But would still strongly recommend & would go back!

We are from Toronto visiting our family in Montreal. What a gem this place is. Very nice staff & amazing sandwiches / gourmet coffees we had. The owner brought us dessert as well which were on the house & amazing. It is an extremely relaxing place, we a real neighborhood feel. Also a pet friendly establishment.
The sandwiches are phenomenal, the servers are kind & welcoming, & the experience was wholesome & memorable. I'm definitely coming back here time & time again.
