Review Summary

Pinocchio Cafè is widely celebrated as a cozy, family-oriented neighborhood staple in Villeray that fosters a genuine sense of community. Visitors frequently praise the diverse menu, highlighting the high-quality grilled cheese sandwiches, brookies, and extensive vegan options, all served by a welcoming and professional staff. The space is noted for being remarkably inclusive, offering a rare and highly appreciated play area for children, as well as a dog-friendly atmosphere that makes it a perfect spot to work, socialize, or relax. While the majority of feedback is glowing regarding the vibrant ambiance and community spirit, some patrons have suggested improvements such as adding a baby changing table to the restrooms and ensuring more consistent service quality during busy hours.

Went for the first time last Friday & ordered an Affogato. I was asked by the server with short reddish hair if i wanted one or two shots of espresso which I'm normally not asked in other cafes. She then got a tub of ice cream from the freezer & added 2 shots of warm espresso & the ice cream just floated in it! When i asked them to add hot espresso, she tried to argue that it's meant to be that way! Thankfully the guy who was there was helpful & tried to rectify it but again added one shot of warm espresso & i asked him to add another hot shot. Staff need to be trained on how to make a proper Affogato as it was really not worth all this trouble. He was, however, nice enough to offer me a cookie as well. The cafe itself was nice with nice outdoor space.

Quel excellent endroit pour s'arrêter & s'immerser dans le quotidien des résidents du quartier Villeray ! Faute de temps, nous n'avons pu que prendre un café & profiter du jeu de Connect4 format géant. Quelle partie de plaisir !

What an amazing experience at Pinocchio cafe!
The food was incredible from the arrancini to the empenadas! The chicken salad sandwich was delicious! Our puppy enjoyed some bacon given to her by the lovely Susan! If you don't know what to have please ask Gaelle, she's amazing!!
