Review Summary

Ambrose Café shows mixed reviews, with some finding the space cozy and study friendly, noting a welcoming atmosphere, good drinks like a dirty chai latte and a decent matcha, and a spacious layout with plenty of outlets. However, other observations mention very bright lighting, loud music, and coffee prepared inconsistently, including a latte with texture issues. The overall vibe and service speed vary, leading some patrons to not plan a return even when the space is appreciated. Comments also touch on using the cafe for work or thesis writing and a few mentions of skipping it in Montreal's cafe scene.

London fog was amazing, service very kind, the localisation of the café & hotel is great, however the remixes of pop music playing & not working outlets were quite unpleasant (quite contrasting to the luxurious vibe the interior is in). Not much pastry options, only very standard croissant, chocolatine, muffins & cinnamon rolls. However I must stress that I enjoyed the beverage & easily accessible wifi.

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.

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

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

Update: I'm editing my review to include an incredible experience I had today. Since my umbrella was wet from the rain, I left it in the stand near the door. But when I was about to leave I noticed my umbrella was missing. I don't know whether someone took it by mistake or if it was an act of theft. Anyway, when I brought the issue to the lovely barista, an employee of the hotel (Nathanael) overheard my concern & offered to help. He literally went out in rain & got me a new umbrella! Just asked me to return it once I got something of my own. This should be a textbook example of going above & beyond. Goes to show how some employees take pride in their work & elevate the customer experience even if they don't have to. I'd cherish this kind gesture forever.

Original review:
I'm officially in love with this cute little cafe. Doesn't feel like a typical "designed by corporate" or "trying to be hip" cafe. Instead, it makes you feel as if you've stepped into your study in your home.

I tried their latte & croissant; they were good. Barista was nice & polite.
