50 Best Coffee Shops in Montreal

“Lovely, inviting place. The best grilled smoked meat and cheese sandwich on the planet! We went everyday on our visit to Montreal and I recommend this place to locals and visitors alike. Ask Romain for a lavender London Fog and you will not be disappointed!“

“Le Café Magda est bien plus qu’un simple café. C’est un véritable point de rencontre pour tout le quartier, un endroit où l’on se sent chez soi dès qu’on franchit la porte. Nous sommes vraiment chanceux de l’avoir dans le Bronx, car il contribue pleinement à la vie du quartier et crée un esprit de communauté précieux. Andrée-Anne, la propriétaire, est toujours d’un accueil chaleureux et attentionné, ce qui rend chaque visite encore plus agréable. P.S. Si vous ne savez pas quoi prendre, je vous recommande le dirty chaï — il est absolument divin“

“Côte Café is a beautiful little escape; tucked away in athoughtfully refurbish historic carriage house. ! The vibe is super relaxed and welcoming, the staff are friendly & knowledgeable, (shout out to Charles). Everything—from the free trade & locally roasted coffee to the decor—feels thoughtful and easygoing. The kind of place you could spend hours at without realizing. Absolutely love it here! Ccafé tucked away in a historic and cleverly refurbished carriage house. Super welcoming, fun staff (shout out to Charles); these guys are clearly passionate about their coffee (free trade partners & local roasters) and epic patisseries. We only had the butter croissant but it may be the best in the city! Stop in and see for yourself!“

“Nice little cafe with a selection of coffees, teas and small bites/sandwiches and friendly staff. There was a mixed crowd, with some students working and other people just chatting over coffee. Of note is that they offer lactose free and nut milk at no charge. We ordered a cortado and mochaccino, both were very good. Overall, great spot to warm up and enjoy a coffee and chat.“

“Nice pastries and great coffee“

“Tasty food Careing Owner as well as the personels“

“Sandwiches savoureux, uniques et frais. Fort simple mais tellement bon. Bravo également à toute l'équipe.“

“J’ai vraiment adoré mon expérience à la Cafeteria Olimpico. J’ai commandé un cappuccino et un pain au chocolat, et c’était tout simplement délicieux. L’ambiance est chaleureuse, le personnel super accueillant, et le style un peu antique du lieu ajoute un charme unique. C’est la première fois que je ressens un tel coup de cœur pour un café. Je recommande vivement 🥰“

“Comfortable, ambiance chaleureuse“

“Great coffee! Great people! AMAZING PANCAKES 😍😍😍“

“Delicious donuts Special latte“

“locale carino, caffè di ottima qualità. Sono stato li oggi per la prima volta e devo dire che è top. Ho trovato il mio locale italiano a Montréal!“

“Only the best to say about this great place. Owners and staff very friendly and working hard to give their best to their clients. Have a great year and much success for many many years to come.“

“Went there at the busiest time possible and the cafe manager still managed to get a seat, would have given 5 stars just for the service but the food is a delight as well. Dakota sandwich had the best pulled beef I’ve had in Montreal and the cafe is very vibrant.“

“Randomly went here due to my friend searching google maps on our visit to Montreal. No pictures because we were too busy chatting with the owner about sweetened vs. unsweetened matcha, Chinese tea, and the tea scene in Montreal. Owner was kind enough to give us unsweetened versions of our drinks to try when we mentioned that we like our drinks without sugar. Delicious 😋“

“Mais quelle chance nous avons eue ce week-end de savourer ces délicieux bagels lors d’un événement entre amis ! Un grand merci au propriétaire pour la livraison en personne 🙌. Ils ont fait l’unanimité… dommage qu’il n’en restait plus le dimanche matin ! 🥯“

“I, unfortunately, don't live in the area or I would probably be there every week! Found this gem of a coffee shop randomly a few months ago and the owners are the sweetest. The lattes are wonderful and I definitely want to try one of their smoothies next time.“

“Some of the most beautiful people in the city are punters at this establishment. The coffee (always served with "panache" btw) is deliciously "on point"! The staff is cool & real. Music is a Mykonos afternoon café banger! The vibe is what brings me back time n' time again. Douze points !!! 📷⚜️☕ p.s. Very IGramable scenarios that never stop 🤳🏻“

“Delicious 😋😋😋

Boutique coffee with fantastic food
Breakfast, melts, sandwiches, Danishes and a variety of different smoothies and drinks.

The right place for a meeting or just when you are hungry.

I especially liked the mushroom melt.
They also have an exceptional cold brew coffee.

Try it you'll thank me.“

“Great friendly service , great quality. I especially loved the flat white 🙂“

“Fantastic service, fresh roasted coffee and focaccia sandwiches and pizza“

“Amazing atmosphere. I went here during a quick break between classes with a few friends from college, and even with little time to spare, we loved it. As soon as we walked in, the aesthetic caught our eye, the host was super welcoming, and the drinks were amazing. I can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!!!“

“A cafe that’s not in the Avenue du Mont-Royal, hidden from the crowds, but it’s like a hidden gem in the neighborhood. I finally able to visit this cafe since it’s always crowded everytime I tried to visit and finally able to visit. The atmosphere is really cozy. It combines the Montreal and the Brazil feeling for the decorations of the cafe.

The barista and the owner is really friendly welcoming. They even let me to practice my french and encourage me too, which i find in some cafes, they will immediately switch to english once they see my accent. They also kind to explain me some of their products too.

Their warmness also translated into their delicious coffee and soup too. All of their products are homemade too. Their coffee tastes strong and delicious, using the Brazilian coffee bean. Their soup is good also, warm and delicious. I would like to try their patisseries in the future for my next visit. I will be visiting this cafe again in the future if I manage to get a space since this cafe can be full, especially on the weekend.“

“most cozy place in the neighbourhood on a cold or rainy day! staff is excellent, perfect mix of friendly and professional.“

“Great coffee and amazing people!!“

“I walked into Saint JJH & Café today and felt instantly at home — it’s genuinely one of the warmest, coziest family-run spots in Verdun. The retro, antique-inspired decor — soft lighting, plush seating, and vintage touches — makes the café feel like a dear friend’s living room. I treated myself to their baked goods, and oh my — the apple pie was nothing short of heavenly, with a perfectly balanced sweetness and a tender, flaky crust. The banana cake was moist, fragrant, and had that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture that serious cake lovers dream of. I paired them with an oat-milk latte, and it was so smooth and comforting — just the right warmth, the right froth, and just enough subtle sweetness. Truly felt like the perfect cozy pick-me-up. But what made the visit extra special was getting to chat with the owners, the husband-and-wife team, and especially Yanna. She welcomed me like a long-lost friend — genuine warmth, passion for her café, and so much heart. It felt like more than just a business, it’s a real community hub. If you’re looking for a place where the coffee is excellent, the pastries feel made with love, and the vibe is homey and welcoming — Saint JJH & Café is a must-visit. I’m already planning my next trip back.“

“Great place to learn and practice French 💋 with the locals. Relaxing atmosphere, fun novelties, and delicious pastries.“

“I ordered an Americano and a pistachio croissant.
The staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.
Both the croissant and the coffee were absolutely delicious.
I’d definitely come back again.“

“We ordered cortado with oat milk. The espresso was beautiful. The cortado was served in a gorgeous clay cup. The soundscape included music playing with a sprawled out sofa seating space on one side and long bench available in the other end of the room. Overall, the cafe with its focus on sound system and equipment at first glance seems too unassuming for a cafe space. It turned out to be a great Saturday find.“

“I have been looking for my new favorite cafe place. I found it today. The vibe the owners have is contagious, you feel excited to try new pastries. I picked the big chocolate chip cookie, it was sooo good, almost like half baked cookie dough. I also tried the almond cookie so delicious with a hint of lemon 🍋. I also had the iced latte, omg it was perfection.“

“Very cozy place. We ordered Aurora (Bagel w/ smoked salmon and cream cheese), Cali Benedict (Eggs Benedict with Pesto Hollaindaise sauce) and Croissant.

My favorite was my chai latte! Ü

Will definitely come visit again! 🫶🏻“

“The tea at Cha Noir is always fresh and fragrant. It is the best I have tasted and I drink herbal tea everyday. I moved 11 hours away 4 years ago and still order my tea from them!“

“Les grilled cheese sont trop bon! L'ambiance est parfaite et j'adore le matcha limonade :)“

“je me suis demandée si j allais ou non mettre un commentaire car ce n est pas dans mes habitudes .. mais cette fois ci je pense que même négatif ce commentaire peut vous aider. je vis a proximité sur Ontario, et même si je ne suis pas une habituée au quotidien j'aime ce café et sa terrasse en été. Hier le café était toujours bon mais ma gaufre m'est restée sur le coeur au sens figuré comme au sens propre : d'abord on m'avait oubliée, ok correct cela a été reconnu mais aucun geste commercial, ensuite je croque dans un morceau de gaufre, puis un 2eme ; étrange texture pour une gaufre? lourde, massive , pâteuse mais bon j'avale ....tellement sucrée et peu ou pas cuite....le coeur me lève et moi aussi , je sors prendre l'air ... est ce que j y retourne pour me plaindre mais cette fois ci de mauvaise humeur et patraque? Non je rentre chez moi afin de ne pas "peter ma coche en public" et l'envie disons de me retrouver dans ma salle de bain était plus forte . Ce matin je suis convaincue que ce que j'ai mangé était de la pâte à Muffin et non à gauffre! Comme la pâte était déja hyper sucrée , que le service avait rajouté du sucre par dessus et moi du sirop ! Imaginez....le tout ....je suis de ces personnes qui laisse la chance au joueur , j y retournerai c'est certain et des erreurs cela arrive ! Mais sachez et apprenez à gerer vos erreurs“

“We visited Mano Cornuto on November 16th and the service and food were unbelievable Big shout out to Dan and Luis They made us feel like we were the only people there“

“The food is always good. They have lots of vegan options and the coffee is one of the best around. Nice atmosphere and wonderful service. Just ask what is vegan as some items contain dairy and they add meat into their menu. This restaurant is no longer vegetarian but there is something for everyone there. Updated from previous review on 2025-07-15“

“terra café ces l'endroit que je recommende grandement pour le café.“

“On a testé la buche Fresque citronnée et c'est un vrai délice 😋 Cette buche apporte de la fraîcheur en fin de repas, on a adoré ! On recommande à 1000% 😊 Merci aux Écœurants pour ce succulent dessert ! 😍“

“Best coffee in Montreal. Very friendly and professional staff!“

“Le café est excellent, de saison et toujours frais. Les pâtisseries sont superbes et variées. De plus, le service est très bon, rapide et friendly.“

“Best coffee place in down, amazing coffee selection and incredible service. Thumbs up!“

“Excellent sur toute la ligne!! Ambiance, nourriture et café préparés avec soin, service hors pair. Bravo!“

“J'ai visité ce restaurant sans aucune attente pour un diner alors que j'étais dans le coin. Quelle découverte! J'ai pris une soupe avec du porc, suggérée par la serveuse (qui était super gentille et nous conseillait vraiment bien). Le porc était si tendre que je le coupais avec mes baguettes. La souper était tellement gouteuse. Des saveurs que je n'avais jamais expérimentées et tout cela dans un petit resto super sympathique. Les prix sont plus que raisonnables. Honnêtement, j'ai juste hâte de retourner dans le coin pour y manger à nouveau et essayer d'autres plats sur leur menu. Une superbe découverte. Dommage que j'habite aussi loin! ;)“

“Fantastique! Personnels souriants, qui sait conseiller et vous aider à acheter le café qui vous convient! La bouffe aussi est délicieuse!“

“Excellent café servi avec le sourire. Nous faisons un détour lors de nos randonnées en vélo pour ce petit plaisir.“

“We are from MELBOURNE, Australia and your coffee was fantastic. It felt like being at my favourite cafe at home“

“What a AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Thomas and Steven have procured some of the finest things to offer. We ordered The King Afternoon Tea. Everything offered was completely delicious, and made in house. I have food allergies and they even made a few changes for me. Hibiscus’s based tea from Fortnum and Mason was they perfect compliment to scones, mini quiche, beetroot mimosa egg and other sweet and savory treats. I even iced my tea. Service was beyond GOOD. Give yourself a HIGH TEA moment.“

“Je le recommande pour l'accueil, les végétariens, l'amour de la musique et du cinéma Mais encore... Pour débuter l'année J'ai eu un authentique curry japonais Un qui réchauffe le cœur, délicieux Au menu 365 jours par année Bonne et heureuse année 2024 Longue vie au Café Orr ❤🙏❤“

“Outstanding flat white & breakfast bagel! Great location & customer service! A must stop“
