Asked her for her recommendations as it was my first, she suggested the maple syrup latte which I decided to go for as well as their delicious maple syrup glazed cakes with pecans. The Barista made my latte and it was delicious. I like the fact that they pay attention to details. Cleanliness was one of them. This cafe is spacious and you can even sit and relax or do some university work as they have plugs for your laptops or phones and it's quiet. The cakes and latte were amazing and loved the taste of it as they did mesh well together and it was not expensive for a cafe in central downtown Montreal where most foods are expensive. I liked it and I had a great afternoon delight at this cafe. I'd return for sure as it's near my work as well.

We visited Pigeon a couple of days ago for coffee on a very cold and windy day. Unfortunately,…read morebecause there was a windchill of -20, every time the door opened, we were freezing but that's not their fault. We had one mocha, one latte, one flat white and one coffee. All drinks were very good except that the coffee was lukewarm. I had said I only wanted a coffee if it was piping hot and we told it would be. Other than that, it was a fun experience as they offer games to play at the tables. It was clean and the barista was nice.

Just so everyone's aware, the coffee is great, the baristas are nice, the location is superb, and it all around is exactly the opposite of its tagline haha. Popped by here to enjoy a maple latte (because when in Canada, you have to have maple!) before visiting the art museum. It was delicious. The shop looks deceptively small but is actually quite spacious inside.

Offerings include breakfast sandwiches, glorious croissants, salads and cake slices to name a few. My egg and cheese croissant sandwich had lettuce on it, which was unexpected, but easy enough to remove. Coffee and latte were both marvelous, as reported by the drinkers of these beverages.

It's a small space with limited seating.

They had a single origin Colombian bean on espresso today, which made for wonderful latte and cappuccinos for us. They also rotate a Tanzanian blend on espresso, which according to the barista, is slightly weaker in milk-based drinks, which makes sense. They also source a decently strong matcha, which our daughter enjoyed as a latte, but might be better straight, without milk, to really taste the pure tea. Also, the Cinnamon roll was delicious. For fun: they have several different sizes to-go cups for different espresso drinks. I've rarely seen this. The latte paper cup is larger than the cappuccino paper cup! Love the attention to detail, even if it's just for aesthetic purposes!
