Review Summary

Ambrose Café offers a conveniently located, cozy environment that many visitors find suitable for studying or working, though experiences regarding the atmosphere vary significantly. While some guests praise the friendly service and high quality of beverages like the dirty chai and London fog, others report inconsistencies in drink preparation and find the loud music and bright lighting to be disruptive. The small menu and limited pastry selection are noted alongside mixed feedback on the availability of functional power outlets, resulting in an overall reputation that appeals to some as a productive workspace while leaving others feeling underwhelmed by the beverage expertise and general vibe.

Plus de 20 minutes d'attente pour 2 sandwich aux oeufs, il n'y avait aucun autre client avant nous. Pain réchauffé dans un air fryer maison. J'ai dit à la dame à l'accueil que j'étais en retard à un rendez-vous. La cuisinière a finalement terminé la commande & a appelé sa collègue pour dire que c'était prêt. Elle a commencé à faire tout sauf me donner ma commande à 3m d'elle. La cuisinière a dû prendre les devant & m'amener ma commande. Pas de papier pour sécher nos mains dans les toilettes. C'est apparemment un hôtel & les notes sont bonnes sur Google, mais ça ne mérite clairement pas ça

Je suis passé au café ce matin. très joli à l'ambiance cosy. L'espresso était bon & le croissant bien croustillant. Pas très bruyant & donc très bien pour une petite pause ou pour travailler. Le staff etait très sympa aussi.

Don't buy a matcha in this café! It's just milk with a bit of powder.

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.
