Racer Café is described as a welcoming, community oriented spot with a warm, cozy atmosphere that suits cyclists and locals alike, a convenient stop along the Gouin path near Parc de la Visitation. The drinks get top marks, especially chai latte and the signature lattes, and the menu features healthy local options including vegan and gluten free items, soups, muffins and galettes, plus ice cream and shakes in summer. The space is bike friendly with tables, wifi and even on site bike checks, making it a popular post ride stop where the vibe is friendly and energetic.

Racer Café de Course - Best Café near Parc de la Visitation, Montréal Nord

Racer Café de Course is one of the best cafés in Montréal Nord & a perfect stop near Parc de la Visitation. I love coming here all year. In summer, it is amazing after a walk or bike ride in Parc de la Visitation to enjoy their iced coffee, milkshakes, smoothies, or ice cream. The coffee is excellent, the menu is healthy, & the vibe is friendly & local.

In winter, this café is the perfect place to warm up after cross-country skiing in Parc de la Visitation. Their Racer Café Latte & Super Latte made with superfoods are delicious, & their vegan & gluten-free Galette Racer or Breakfast Muffin with over 10 grams of protein are perfect for a quick healthy snack.

The staff is very kind & welcoming, & the place always feels positive & full of energy. You can tell that people love to meet here after a run, a workout, or a bike ride. It is a real community café for coffee lovers, athletes, & families.

If you are looking for a coffee shop in Montréal Nord, a vegan café near Parc de la Visitation, or a local place for coffee, snacks, smoothies, & ice cream, Racer Café de Course is the place to go.

Racer Café de Course - Le meilleur café près du Parc de la Visitation à Montréal Nord

Racer Café de Course est un des meilleurs cafés de Montréal Nord, situé tout près du Parc de la Visitation. 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. Les produits sont frais, locaux & de grande qualité.

En hiver, c'est l'endroit idéal pour se réchauffer après une séance de ski de fond au Parc de la Visitation. Le Racer Café Latte & le Super Latte à base de superaliments sont excellents. Leurs collations santé, comme la Galette Racer végane & sans gluten ou le Muffin déjeuner protéiné, sont parfaites pour bien commencer la journée.

L'ambiance est toujours chaleureuse & le personnel est accueillant & attentionné. C'est un vrai café de quartier, fréquenté par des amateurs de sport, de plein air & de bon café.

Je recommande fortement ce café à tous ceux qui cherchent un café local à Montréal Nord, un café santé près du Parc de la Visitation ou un endroit pour prendre un café, un smoothie ou une crème glacée artisanale

Perfect spot to stop after a long bike ride!

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.

Cheers to all! ✌?

Chaque ride vers le nord nous ramène inévitablement au Racer. La fille est super sympa & les sandwichs sont un vrai régal. Une adresse incontournable pour les cyclistes en quête d'une pause gourmande & conviviale !

Stopped in for a quick espresso at the start of a nice long bike ride. Couldn't resist having a carrot walnut muffin. Delicious. The lady running the café at the time was Monika - she has excellent barista skills & is also smart, friendly & multilingual. It was also Halloween & she had treats for the little ones.
