After a long day of skiing on Mount Royal, I was tired an hungry and just needed to relax with a nice cup of coffee. Searching nearby cafés, the Pi Café stood out to me as something extremely interesting so I headed on down with my chess-obsessed boyfriend.
We didn't think there would actually be chess but sure enough, there it was! There were people playing chess games with a game clock and there were smaller games going on between other customers.
The lady behind the counter was very nice and gave us a chess board after we ordered. She also made some very nice recomendations.
The decor in the place is very nice; chess related and pi signs. The room is very comfortable an the red paint gives off a nice vibe. There are comfier chairs for lounging on too which are very nice.
We tried their Vanilla Latte and couldn't stop ordering more! Easily the best one I've ever had!
As for the food, there were many vegetarian options which I thought was nice. We ordered a Beef Panini and Chicken Panini. The lady at the counter grilled them to perfection and brought them to us at the perfect moment in our game of chess! They hit the spot and they were quite cheesy and filling. To top it all off, we had a lovely huge piece of apple pie, because if you're the Pi Café, you have to serve pie!
The Pi Café is a great place to relax with friends or just meet new people and of course to play chess!
Great food and drink, and a great place to take a break!
