Coffee was decent, sandwich was good but nothing special & not worth 15+ $$. The vibe of the place is nice but kind of loud.

Le Café Pinocchio, c'est un endroit unique, où l'on se sent faire partie d'une famille. La générosité, c'est la qualité numéro un de cette équipe, & ça se manifeste à l'échelle de la relation client comme à l'échelle du quartier, de la collectivité, à qui elle redonne beaucoup & souvent. Merci Susan, Donato, & toute la gang!

À mes yeux, le meilleur café de Montréal! Vous ne trouverez nulle part ailleurs une ambiance aussi chaleureuse & inclusive qu'au Pinocchio. L'équipe est extraordinaire & a su faire de ce café une place de partage qui pourrait rappeler l'ambiance des petits cafés de village. Les sandwichs, grilled cheese & viennoiseries sont délicieux & diversifiés. On y vient pour jaser, lire, travailler ou sortir en famille… Tous les amis à qui j'ai fait découvrir cette place ont été conquis ❤?

Wrong opening time ! We came from Laval after checking the opening hours & finding that it was open. We arrived at 12 & the shop was closed, with a sign on the door saying it opens at 11.

J'ai quand même été déçue de mon experience dans ce café. Même si la nourriture est très bonne, je trouve exagéré de payer 13$ pour un grilled cheese aux pommes. J'ai aussi trouvé le service très désagréable. Ça parle fort, ça crie partout, c'est bête. Ce qui semble être la propriétaire est particulièrement pénible. aussi, petite note: on est au Québec, servez-nous en français svp!

J'espère que vous prendrez en compte mes commentaires :)

Cute little sandwich shop I walk past every morning. As the name suggests, the theme of this cafe is based on Pinocchio, even their menu. They have a good amount of sandwich variations; we tried one chicken sandwich & a croissant ham sandwich. For the price, the quality is definitely up there. Cool employees, & I can see it's very kid/family-friendly.
