Review Summary

Ambrose Café receives mixed notes from reviewers, with some praising its cozy vibe and welcoming baristas while others find the lighting too bright and the latte simply coffee with milk. Many mention a chill atmosphere, plenty of outlets for studying, good wifi, and a convenient location. The dirty chai latte earns high marks from several patrons for its texture and temperature. Coffee quality is described as mid by some and service can be slow, though others praise excellent service. The cafe is spacious with a small menu, the matcha is decent, and quiches or sandwiches are sometimes out of stock. Prices are reasonable, with some drinks costing less than at other places. Overall the reviews present Ambrose Café as a welcoming spot to enjoy drinks and wifi, with a cozy feel, while experiences vary on drink quality and service pace.

Only came to work in the cafe on a weekend & was disappointed. The lights were very bright, the music being played was very loud & on 2x speed, the coffees were not made well-my coffee had a layer of slime, rather than foam-& overall I have no intention of returning. For all the cafes Montreal has to offer, skip this one.

Kinda disappointed by the CAFE compared to the good rating.
Very bright white lighting, their 5$ latte is just coffee with milk in it (no expertise). Depends on your needs, bit the vibes are kinda off.
Didn't try the hotel, though.

Review for the cafe only. Spacious cafe with a small menu. But the matcha was decent!

Très bons cafés. Nous aurions aimé goûter aux quiches & autres sandwichs, mais le café avait été dévalisé un peu plus tôt. Une adresse à découvrir si vous passez dans le coin.

Chill little spot & the barista made me an excellent dirty chai. Perfect texture taste & temperature. WiFi working great. Decent prices. In fact, I find some of the coffee drinks to be bit cheaper than other places. So that's a plus. Enjoy.

Ordered the matcha rose latte. I can taste both rose & matcha, & it's not too sweet. 10/10 would go again

I honestly had low expectations for the coffee since it's part of a hotel, but honestly, it's probably the best tasting cafe I had so far in Montreal (& I have tried most of the known coffee shops in town). Will be back NchAllah

🏝️A small, tucked-away oasis in the heart of the city. Been here many times for coffee dates with a friend or to chill out on my laptop. Located on Stanley near corner of Sherbrooke inside an old nondescript row house that is also a boutique-boutique hotel. It has a low-key exclusive feeling & a quaint, relaxing atmosphere that vibes student-hipster-Canadian. Many patrons seem associated with McGill University, which makes sense given the campus is a block away. Usually just one barista staffing the place who is always kind, accommodating, & mild mannered. Thoughtful, subtly cheeky, Montreal-hipster nods everywhere if you look close enough. Hats off to the managers, the place avoids stuffiness & has a soothing energy. Pastries & beverages are good though the lunch-y meals could stand to be fresher, smarter, tastier.

Les chambres sont très charmantes , mais le reste de l'hôtel n'est pas fou. Le petit déjeuner est normalement servi à 08h... mais passé 08h30 , nous sommes partis petit déjeuner dehors. Un peu en décalage du centre mais plutôt bien situé

I only tried the cafe & loved their vanilla latte. It was so frothy & perfect. A good quiet ambiance.

Great expresso coffee ☕️. Nice atmosphere. I wish they had cream, as there is only milk & milk substitute available
