Très bonne localisation, super produit fait maison & un service 3 étoiles surtout avec la super gérante Kardy ✌? qui sert le café avec une classe internationale!! Je recommande!!
I had a fantastic experience at Racer Café! The atmosphere is great, but what really made the visit special was the service. Kardelen was incredibly welcoming, attentive, & made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in.
I highly recommend trying the Chai Latte-it was absolutely excellent, perfectly balanced, & easily one of the best I've had in Montreal. If you're looking for a spot with great vibes & even better service, this is it. Thanks again to Kardelen for the wonderful hospitality!'
Merci à Kardy pour se magnifique art c'est vraiment beau un service toujours aussi chaleureux & agréable. Le meilleur café de Gouin pour goûter au plaisir du café & de la nourriture

J'ai adoré l'endroit !!
Cadre éclairé, tables larges pour travailler (+prises & wifi), patronne super enthousiaste & chaleureuse !
Au menu : un café, une soupe & un'race-biscuit' sans gluten. Tout était super bon & savoureux.
Service extrêmement long 20 minutes pour deux cafés alors qu'il y avait seulement deux personnes en avant de moi & le café rempli a moitié de plus les cafés n'étaient pas très chauds & fades. Beaucoup d'amélioration à faire.

C'est l'endroit parfait pour une pause café après une promenade, une course ou une sortie à vélo. En été, j'adore prendre un café glacé, un smoothie, un milkshake ou une crème glacée sur la terrasse.

Located in the neighbourhood where I grew up, I've been for years biking on the beautiful Gouin path next to the river, & for some reason never noticed that pleasant rest area….. until this summer. & now I am stopping by for coffee each time I'm around.
The atmosphere is warm & very European in a way I must say. It reminds me inside of the little bike cafes in Germany & Holland. The service is super friendly & you can have your bike checked up or fix a flat tire….. Regarding the prices, it's a little costly but times are rough for everybody, they have to make a living & I am glad I can support that cozy little spot, which hopefully will be around for many years to come. I just got my Racer Cafe shirt two days ago. 🤘
We have to appreciate & support every few bike cafes opening in MTL. It makes our rides more enjoyable.
Petit café très agréable situé dans un quartier enchanteur, directement sur la piste cyclable. Rien de mieux pour conclure un entrainement de course ou de vélo qu'un bon café, une bonne limonade maison & une collation préparée sur place. Le café latté frappé est excellent !!!
This café is a convenient stop, especially if you're on your way to the park. Service was quick despite it being quite busy, & it seems to be a popular spot with cyclists. They offer a decent selection of healthier snack options, which was appreciated.
I ordered a lemonade-too sweet for my preference, but easy enough to adjust by adding some water. It just meant more lemonade for me. :) Overall, it's a clean, efficient place to grab something on the go. Worth stopping in if you're nearby.
Pas seulement un café! Un commerce qui anime la vie de quartier. Bravo à la propriétaire Monica & à son staff souriant & dévoué. Leur muffin déjeuner est criminellement bon!
A hidden gem in the neighborhood! This cozy café offers a unique & welcoming atmosphere, with delicious, high-quality products that never disappoint. The music selection creates the perfect vibe, & the service is exceptional-friendly, attentive, & always with a smile. Whether you're stopping by for a coffee, a treat, or just to soak in the ambiance, this place is a must-visit!
