Review Summary

Pourquoi Pas Expresso Bar is described as a reliable neighborhood spot with friendly baristas, sunny window seating, and a vegan friendly menu that features a wide range of non-dairy milks and vegan pastries such as scones. Reviewers highlight consistently excellent coffee and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, with engaging service and opportunities to chat about coffee, plus monthly local art exhibits and a cozy interior with a small terrace. Travelers and locals alike appreciate easy access, English speaking staff, and a compact menu that still delivers tasty drinks and bites. Some criticisms include a chai latte that can taste weak, an affogato that is not worth the price due to portions, and non-dairy milks being an extra charge; pricing clarity and vegan option availability are common talking points. Overall, the cafe is seen as a high quality neighborhood stop with excellent service and solid options, and it is recommended for a reliable espresso and pleasant cafe experience.

Café correct mais assez acide, & je trouve qu'il manquait un peu de corps. Texture assez fluide.

Hello Folks!

If ever you feel like enjoying an espresso in a romantic atmosphere, this could be the perfect place. Although the menu is limited & this is the only reason they are getting the 4 star rating from me, I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly the staff was... & Although, I am often being told that all staff in the village are friendlier than the rest of the city, I think it is a case by case basis.

For the food aspect, you would mainly go to this place to enjoy an espresso or a moka! Take a place by the front window to sip on your espresso while you see people pass makes it a very relaxed & mind resting activity.

Truly,

Sandra Jacobs
