"Opened in a former bank at the start of 2016, Café Noir quickly became a local fixture in the West End. As equally popular with business folk looking for a quiet place to work as it is with locals looking for a great cup of coffee, Noir consistently delivers. Try any of their coffees, complete with impressive foam art, and choose from an assortment of very delicious treats. The brownies are particularly delectable and they make one of the nicest matcha lattes in the city." - Chris Brodt

I enjoyed it here. Some of the prices are ridiculous, though. The sea salted caramel hot chocolate just tasted like plain hot chocolate, and even then it was average at best. The raspberry cheesecake, however, was delightful Also, this cafe is full of hipsters. (Just a warning before you go.)

Pretty good coffee, nice atmosphere. They had good choices in terms of pastries and cakes and a very interesting tea and hot chocolate selection! I thought it was pretty expensive, though, even compared to most other coffee shops in town.

Went here as it was highly recommended from reviews. The brownie is the best one I ever tasted. The coffee is very good too. Genuine food, nice ambience, reasonable prices. Definitely worth a try, can't go wrong.

Coffee - excellent. I had a latte. Service - excellent. The staff were very friendly and attentive from the moment I entered to when I left. Table service. Food - I had an almond croissant. It was good, but it wasn't the best I've ever tasted. Atmosphere - lots of people having business meetings. Good music playing (quite loud). Seats comfortable. Contemporary, stylish and bright natural light. Monochrome and plants.

The place is well situated. It is also very big and has different types of rooms. Therefore I would recommend it for friends, couples, groups, and even families with children. The smoothie we took was delicious and fresh. The cinnamon and cardamom chocolate was very nice too. Then we had a galette des rois (french seasonal pastry) and a chive and cheese scone : both were very good. The waiter was also nice and helpful. I saw that there is WiFi as well so could be a nice spot for students. Really enjoyed and would recommend it !

This place deserves credit for an outstanding cake, juicy scones and possibly the best tea I've ever tested in the United Kingdom (I'm not a native). The atmosphere was a little artificial (cafés with low ceilings are usual cosier) but I was very satisfied cake, even though the glazing was saturated with sugar! £3.50 was today worth it.

Nice place, quick and pleasant service. Croissant with camembert and grapes was really tasty. Coffe was good (and cute!) but hot chocolate was only so-so. Anyway it was a good place to step by and get a little warmer on my way home.
