50 Best Coffee Shops in Montreal

“Delicious donuts Special latte“

“Excellent and attentive service. Relaxed bistro ambiance and classic decor. Food is creative, original, delicious and affordable not to mention satisfying and balanced plates. p.s. The photo is veal filet mignon in reduction with shitake mushrooms...was perfect and tasty...“

“Nice pastries and great coffee“

“Love the place! Great neighbors!“

“Coffee was ok; but the barista wouldn’t prepare americano in a short cup (says they do not do that here) which I never heard before.
Their almond/choco croissant was too sweat but it was not the worst.
Nice but a bit overrated“

“St Henri best local coffee shop ! Must try the veggie burrito ! Good quality and fair price :)“

“One of the best matcha’s I’ve tasted in Montreal! The warm matcha with oat milk is very smooth, earthy and slightly sweet. For some reason, the iced version doesn’t taste as good and as such, wouldn’t recommend it. Very cute coffee shop, perfect for catching up with friends. It’s quite small but has plugs and wifi for studying.“

“Had satuarday morning brunch in Sept in this little Cafe in old Montreal, apparently part of a chain of cafes in Montreal, this particular one was very busy with great upbeat ambience and lot of plants all around and good energetic background music that reminds me of Tony Robbins events,

We ordered the Truffle Benedict, which is a egg benedict with truffle hollandaise sauce,, and Emma, which is a grilled cheese with tomato soup,

We also ordered 2 Lucky Tommy Latte, which had lucky charm cheerios in them, and I thoroughly enjoyed it ( it's basically like having breakfast cereal with whipped cream and coffee at the same time, extremely efficient lol)

A negative is that the food takes really long time to come out when they are busy, so if you are in a hurry this might not be a good choice for you.

Will definitely recommend if you are staying in Old Montreal for brunch, it would start your day in a great way?“

“Comfortable, ambiance chaleureuse“

“Best coffee Best service Cool venue Friendly all around“

“Delicious Coffee & pastries. Great people, great local business mindset & atmosphere.“

“Charming coffee shop with an assortment of biscotti“

“Le meilleur banhmi EVER. ❤️“

“Came here from Jarry Park after getting a recommendation from a friend and it didn't disappoint! At first they only had the sausage rapini so we got some hot slices and a pitcher of aperol spritz and sat on the terrace ( dog friendly for well behaved dogs, so we brought our little dog. )

We realized we definitely needed more pizza to go with our spritzes and luckily they had just pulled out caciocavallo and pepperoni pizzas so we got some of those and a couple of cannoli. All of the pizza was great! The caciocavllo was definitely the most unique, it reminded me of raclette. Buttery potatoes with melted cheese over. Very tasty. The cannoli were also really good, even after 7 slices of pizza between two people we ate them easily. The cream was super rich and the perfect sweetness.

We went near the end of the day on Saturday (around 530) and it stayed pretty busy for the hour and a half we were there. A lot of people were picking up whole pizzas. One random nice thing that maybe matters more to me than most is they had carbonated water on tap <3. I did kind of want chili pepper or chili oil but maybe they had it and we missed it. Will definitely need to go back!“

“This is the dream corner cafe nestled in a quiet unassuming neighborhood. However, the offerings are anything but ordinary. The usual suspects of pastries don’t disappoint, but the real distinctions are the savory dishes cooked from the same kitchen as the acclaimed sister restaurant Helicopter. You can taste a preview of it at Helico’s abridged menu of small plates offered from morning through the afternoon, which means lunch can start as early as breakfast time. On my visit the plates du jour included potatoes with smoked egg, ratatouille with peaches, eggplant tempura with a miso cream, tomato salad with croissant croutons and kambucha dressing. Their coffee selections are also not to be overlooked, an essential accompaniment to the inevitable dessert.“

“Tout ce qu'on a commandé pour Noël était absolument délicieux. Merci“

“Petit café découvert alors que j’avais à faire dans le coin en ce dimanche matin. J’y ai passé quelques heures devant mon ordinateur. Café et bol granola délicieux. Bonne connexion Internet. Les prises électriques sont présentes mais un peu difficiles à localiser. La musique était légèrement trop forte selon moi, mais à part ça, c’était parfait. On se reverra! ;)“

“The people at the counter were welcoming and the service was quite fast!

We had ordered the Classico, the Bresaola sandwiches and the Mocha Freddo. We were pleased with how fresh the ingredients tasted, and the Mocha Freddo was refreshing and fitting with the summer weather.

I’m guessing due to the warm temperature, there were quite a bit of flies swarming around the pastries, which was slightly off-putting ?

Despite that, overall, quite enjoyed our experience and the food there (they also have cool merch ?)

Parking: The restaurant is quite accessible for bikers and pedestrians. However, it’s quite difficult to find street parking since it’s located in a residential area“

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

“Hands down the BEST coffee that I've ever had since tasting Ethiopian coffee in Northern Ethiopia - that trip was back in 1997, I've tasted a lot of coffee since then.

Je n'aime pas le café de Cafe Myriade, j'adore ça!“

“Je m’y suis arrêtée par hasard pour prendre un sandwich pour le lunch. Quelle belle découverte! Un pain parfaitement grillé, croustillant et une garniture « mortadelle kombat » (special de la semaine) succulente. Je me suis régalée !“

“Best breads at very fair prices.“

“Discovered this great little gem of a coffee shop . great coffee and service . it's a must stop in for coffee if your driving by..“

“Dreamy is an absolute gem! Their coffee is fantastic, brewed with beans from various local roasters. The biscuits are a delightful treat too! The space is large and inviting, perfect for working solo or catching up with friends. Plus, it's car-friendly, making it super convenient. Dreamy is my go-to coffee spot!“

“I frequently go there, one of the staff overthere (I think her name was Adrian), she gave the best earl grey tea and best services ,I wanted to say having her overthere is a blessing and she was very nice and responsible. The pistachio cookies are awesome , you MUST try it ?“

“fabulous coffee, and a great study spot. I got the americano with some oat milk and it was rich, creamy, not over roasted, smooth and wasn’t too watery. the atmosphere is that of tour friend who owns a cabin on the lake - very relaxed and perfect for studying in a calm atmosphere. i’d love to go back for happy hour on a friday!“

“c'est tout cozy et tout joli et le café était excellent. En plus ils nous l'on servi avec des petites cuillers fancy ❤️☕️“

“A great place right in the middle of the Jean-Talon market.
If you are looking for French-made pain au chocolat, you have come to the right place.
A complete plate with eggs, potatoes, bacon and bread for an excellent breakfast
The coffee is also very good
It reminds me a little of French coffee“

“découverte du jour avec l'amie Andrée Vachon et Mademoiselle la teckelle ! on a toutes les trois adoré l'endroit. <3“

“Yummy!!!!!! We love wine bars and this one was really special. Small place with only 2 servers. Ours was soooo nice and made us try different wines! The staff is so sweet and detailed oriented. THE FOOD !!!!!! So fresh and flavourful. A must to try !“

“Cozy cafe with tasty drinks, perfect for a stop on a Winter Day. Their london fog was smooth with the right amount of tea flavour. Cold water was available on the side to self serve if you needed it, which was a nice touch.Seating wasn’t the most comfortable given the size of the space and some chargers weren’t working at all. Some hangars was available for you to hang your coat especially nearby the washroom.“

“WOW! qualité, efficacité, authenticité!! ...& la meilleure rentabilité au pied-carré des sous-terrains à Montréal.“

“My fave coffee spot around Concordia! Pigeon has been fuelling my studies for the past 4.5 years, getting me through exams, all-nighters and everything in between!“

“The company I work for ordered at Julian’s for our 3 day company wide internal event and all three lunches were absolutely fantastic! Their pineapple and coconut tartelette was one of the best desserts I had recently. They are also very attentive to dietary restrictions and their vegetarian options are delicious. Definitely will go dine at their restaurant!“

“Iced mochas are perfectly balanced, milk frothy, not too sweet, and the perfect size. Super friendly staff every time I have been there.“

“Le staff toujours super souriant, les viennoiseries toujours au top et surtout j’adore avoir la surprise du scône du « jour » à chaque fois de nouvelles recettes. Mes papilles vous remercient ��“

“I was happy to stumble upon this charming cafe while waiting for a friend. The latte was delicious (appreciate it milk was an option), and I the chocolatine was outstanding. I look forward to returning to try the pancakes.

Staff were very welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable.“

“My family and I wanted to give this place a try due to its high rating and I DEFINITELY see why it’s so high! The Ham and Egg sandwich is phenomenal and the latte was delicious as well ?

“This was one of the best experiences I’ve had at a Persian café in Montreal. The venue is fully accessible and accommodating for people with disabilities and those using assistive devices. The accessible washroom was a particularly nice touch. The café also features a charming patio and a cozy indoor ambiance. I visited on a rainy day and arrived much earlier than my scheduled meeting with a friend. Despite being a first-time customer, I was treated like an old friend. The quality of the coffee, tea, and food was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. I tried their Persian coffee, Persian tea, and mirza ghasemi, all of which were delightful.

What stood out most to me was their hospitality—they had no issue with me sitting there for a couple of hours before my friend arrived. They ensured I was comfortable, even providing access to a power outlet so I could work on my laptop. They struck the perfect balance between attentive care and giving me the privacy I needed to feel at ease. They even went above and beyond by assisting me to the washroom, which I found incredibly considerate. When I thanked them, they responded warmly, saying, "Don't mention it; we're here for you." This is definitely a place I’ll be returning to, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Persian food, a warm ambiance, and an accessible space in the heart of Old Port Montreal.“

“Service très courtois, belle ambiance, bonne bouffe et bon vin. De plus, l’accès au wifi est un must pour pouvoir y travailler ou autre. :)“

“Un endroit charmant à visiter. Service impeccable.“

“Very friendly staff, very knowledgeable & helpful! Everything was so yummy! Will come back again, for sure!“
