I recently visited Presse Café at 1794 Av. Pierre-Péladeau in Laval to meet up with friends for tea. The café’s spacious two-story layout provided ample seating, making it easy for our group to find a comfortable spot. Despite being busy, the noise level was reasonable, allowing for pleasant conversation.
The interior design is modern and inviting, with large windows that allow natural light to flood the space, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The seating arrangements were varied, catering to both individuals seeking a quiet corner and gatherings of friends or colleagues.
The menu offers a diverse selection of beverages and light meals. I opted for a tea, which was served promptly and at the right temperature. The café is also a convenient spot for those looking to work or study.
However, I noticed that the garbage cans were noticeably full during our visit, which detracted from the otherwise clean environment. Additionally, while the staff was generally friendly, there seemed to be a slight understaffing issue, as tables were not cleared promptly.
In terms of accessibility, Presse Café is conveniently located in the Centropolis area of Laval, with ample parking available nearby. The café is wheelchair accessible, and the spacious layout ensures easy navigation for all patrons.
Overall, Presse Café provides a comfortable and inviting environment for gatherings, with its spacious interior, diverse menu offerings, and convenient amenities. Addressing minor cleanliness issues and improving service efficiency would enhance the...
Read moreMy friends and I really enjoy going to Presse for only one simple reason: space to study.
Some of the employee's can be extremely rude. The manager is worse than his employees in all honesty and I'm sure I'm not the only one who agrees. He treats his customers like numbers instead of people; always trying to maximize his space, and not allowing his customers to use more than a table each (even during dead hours). He makes his rounds every so often around the restaurant, eyeing groups as if they're overstayed their welcome. When the internet password is changed, the manager will not share the new one, nor answer questions we may have about it. The employee's have closed it early on many occasions, as early as 10PM when in reality closes at midnight.
Aside from the manager acting in such rude, unprofessional, and disrespectful manner, the way they handle their food and toilets aren't the freshest / cleanest either. My friend and I made the mistake of buying a piece to split; it tastes plain awful and stale, quite obvious to not have been fresh, it was completely gone to waste. They do not properly wash their foam machine or hot milk pitcher, which gets used quite often. You can see the crust along the inside from the old milk. They use that unwashed pitcher to put in your new hot milk for your latte. The least they can do is wipe down the foam piece and rinse the hot milk pitcher. Managers are the one's who are in charge of ambiance, freshness, professionalism, etc.. and Presse Cafe Centropolis does...
Read moreIt is a nice place to study, but their service is horrible. I bought food and a drink, which came up to $20. In a few hours they came to say that it has been 2 hr and I need to buy more so that I can use their space. I was full and did not want to eat, and I did not even finish my drink. I told him I will get something later, and he left. Since then, he was just looking at me with attitude, I felt so uncomfortable and unwelcome, so I left to another coffee place where they were much nicer and welcoming. The owners have to change their attitude towards the client, if not, people will not want to use the space. It's not like they were missing space, there was a more enough space for students to study. I was not the only one to have the experience, my friend had the same, and she does not want to go there anymore. We rather go to the second cup near The smart centre, they are sweet people. I hope they change and do not penny pick and lose out on the bigger picture, which is customer...
