Café Pista

After spending two years on wheels, the Pista Café Mobile in Montreal settles down in a luminous café designed by Les Ateliers Guyon, shifting from nomad to sedentary.

After spending two years on wheels, the Pista Café Mobile finally found an address of its own in the heart of Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, in Montreal. The goal was to make a shift from being a nomad café to become a sedentary one, while still keeping a street stall feel.

The location, on the corner of Beaubien and Saint-Vallier, allowed for a simple and refreshing concept. Les Ateliers Guyon created a cozy and luminous spot where the inside recreates the outside.

The Café is divided in two separate sections. On one side lies a long bench, its colors soft and lively, allowing the location’s natural light to shine. On the other, the service section is hemmed in a container-inspired workspace where customers get served as if they were sitting on a food truck stool, waiting for their order. Within this workspace there’s even a place designed especially for the tricycle as there is a little workshop where it can be stored, repaired and admired by the patrons.
