Pinocchio Cafè est un café de quartier chaleureux et accueillant où le personnel est constamment sympathique et l'ambiance donne envie de rester. L'établissement accepte les chiens et les enfants, ce qui facilite les visites en famille ou avec un compagnon à quatre pattes, et l'ambiance animée mais confortable convient au travail, aux conversations ou tout simplement à la dégustation d'un sandwich bien fait et d'une boisson chaude. Le sandwich au grilled cheese est mis en valeur avec des versions fraîches comme le Mac Cheese ou une association brie et fromage de chèvre, tandis que le classique est croustillant et réconfortant sans être excessif. Les boissons rencontrent aussi du succès avec un bon café, un chocolat chaud et des options chai maison, et il existe des choix végétariens. La déco ressemble à un album vivant avec des photos sur les murs et des tables colorées qui réchauffent l'ensemble, ce qui donne l'impression d'un lieu qui ressemble moins à un simple café et plus à un vrai foyer de quartier. Quelques avis mentionnent des moments d'agitation ou du bruit et quelques couacs de service, mais dans l'ensemble l'ambiance est chaleureuse, inclusive et centrée sur des aliments de qualité et un service amical.
This cozy little café with a real Pinocchio obsession takes the humble grilled cheese extremely seriously - in the best possible way. Every sandwich is made fresh when you order it (no pre-made, reheated imposters here) & served in a basket meant for enjoying right there, while it's perfectly warm & gloriously melty.
The classic grilled cheese was everything you could hope for: outrageously cheesy without tipping into salty overload, perfectly crisped, & comfortingly indulgent. But the real fun comes from their creative variations.
We tried the new Grilled Mac & Cheese, which turned out to be exactly what our imaginations had hoped for - delightfully decadent & unapologetically comforting.
& the Bugia grilled cheese, filled with brie, sundried tomatoes, & goat cheese. Already a dream combination… but we added honey, & suddenly the whole thing crossed into mind-blowing territory. Sweet, tangy, creamy, crunchy - a sandwich with personality.
The café itself feels like stepping into a living scrapbook. Family & friends' photos line the walls, giving the whole space a warm, genuine charm. The tables are painted in cheerful colors that echo Pinocchio's palette, & instead of bar stools, everyone sits comfortably - which makes it feel even more welcoming.
It's a place that works for absolutely everyone: kids, families, couples, dogs, & people like me who simply show up with a serious grilled cheese craving.
There are books, games, & colouring books for kids, making it easy to linger. It's also a surprisingly lovely place to work for a bit while enjoying a sandwich & a coffee.
✨ ☕ & if you need one more reason to visit: they offer free small coffee on Monday mornings from 7-9 am, a little act of kindness to start the week ✨
Between the thoughtful food, the playful atmosphere, & the genuinely warm people behind it all, it feels less like a café & more like a place where life just naturally happens - one perfectly grilled sandwich at a time.
Such a shame to have a cozy welcoming place be catered by relentless complaining employees whose frustrations seem to prime over simple courtesy. Grow up ladies, you've got paying customers, family & children who deserve better than earfuls of gripes.

This is one of my favorite cozy cafes in Villeray. It's usually full of people but not too full & I can see why, it's such a cute, friendly environment & you feel like such a kid. Its light & airy & great for working, the baristas are super sweet. Their hot chocolate & homemade chai lattes are delicious & so are all the food options I've tried - croissants, grilled cheese, bagels. You will feel like a joyous kindergartener here.
super friendly staff & cozy ambiance! i LOVE their ferrero rocher brookies. the lemonade slush was too sweet for my taste, but that's subjective. i'll be returning for sure for another sweet treat (or a sandwich for a change)
A lovely little spot hidden within Villeray. You'll find it to be a cozy place to get a coffee & read a book, catchup with a friend or just sit there & zone out for a moment. It's located in a quiet neighbourhood where you'll find peace. You'll love it!
This place is so cute. It's a small friendly space where you can have your coffee & feel at home. There is a very cute cat that is the space's friend. Very cute & cozy. Specs indeed.

5 + 5 + 5 = 5 . Haha if this rating doesn't speak about itself 😝 joke aside: great place, very welcoming staff & cozy ambiance. Lot of homemade food for lunch. See for yourselves?
Really cute little cafe! Lots of food options, kind staff, & a few cozy nooks to sit & eat (indoors & outdoors). Conveniently close to the Jarry metro. We look forward to returning!
