The staff very polite, interior is excellent & a point of something new. I fell in love with the'theme' of the cafe. It's like my go-to study spot now! There is so many spots like high chairs & tables, or cozy areas to sit & its really quiet. Music isn't distracting.

Wow it's actually amazing. The bread so fresh & it is so tasty. The space is wonderful, a bit hard to find from the outside but really liked it

L'endroit est visuellement époustouflant & plusieurs tables, coussins, alcôves & fauteuils sont disponibles pour s'asseoir, prendre un café & étudier. Malheureusement, cet établissement est un peu victime de son succès, & on y rencontre énormément de monde vers l'heure du dîner & dans l'après-midi. Globalement, c'est un'must go' si vous vous trouvez à proximité !

This place is almost always closed for'Private Event,' which feels unusual.

Je ne sais pas ce que l'endroit a offrir,tout ce que je sais c'est que c'est un bel endroit, d'ailleurs c'est pour cela que j'ai mis 5 étoiles pour l'ambiance,néanmoins c'est aussi un bar puisqu'on y sert de l'alcool,donc je suis vite reparti de là.

J'ai visité Ameacafé hier avec mon mari. Nous avons pris deux cappuccinos & deux New York Rolls Supreme (un pistache & un chocolat).
Le café Nespresso était excellent : riche, bien équilibré & vraiment agréable à boire. L'endroit est magnifique, la décoration est superbe & l'ambiance très chaleureuse. C'est un endroit où l'on se sent bien.
En revanche, les New York Rolls Supreme étaient décevants. Ils n'étaient pas du tout comme ce qu'on voit sur leur feed Instagram. La pâte était sèche, le fourrage manquait de saveur & la crème n'était pas bonne. On ne retrouvait ni le goût beurré ni le feuilletage d'un vrai New York Roll. Ils donnaient même l'impression d'être des pièces de la veille.
Un bel endroit, un excellent café, mais les pâtisseries devraient vraiment être améliorées.

hidden gem right between Mcgill & Concordia downtown campus. The cafe is within a building with an open space seating type. Your food gets brought to you while you have to pick up your drink from the bar. The pistachio round pastry was so delicious & sweet. The chai latte was good. The avocado toast I got was good, I just wished the mushrooms & eggs were warmer. Would definitely go back for the pastries.

This is not my first time here & I came with my laptop to finish a quick task
Only after sitting down I was told that laptops are not allowed & they said it is a new policy
I told them that customers should be informed before taking a seat & there is no sign or notice showing this rule
It ended up being a wasted trip & a very disappointing experience

Amea est l'un de ces lieux que j'aurais aimé garder secret, tel un joyau précieux. Le café est superbe : lumineux, inspirant, vaste, & ponctué d'une multitude d'espaces où se poser selon son humeur. Leurs boissons & leurs douceurs ne m'ont jamais déçue (elles m'ont même toujours ravie) même si je ne me suis pas encore aventuré du côté salé.
Seul petit bémol : en heure de pointe, il faut parfois tourner en rond quelques minutes avant de trouver une place.
Amea reste un endroit magnifique, presque impressionnant, qui mériterait qu'on le garde jalousement pour soi… même s'il mérite sans doute encore davantage d'être célébré.

Ce lieu est assez exceptionnel. La nourriture est délicieuse, je conseille fortement les sandwichs. J'ai qu'une envie : y retourner pour tester les autres plats. Le lieu est très sympa, nous pouvons y rester pour travailler si besoin. La carte des boissons est également très complète, le matcha est bon (mais rien d'exceptionnel)
ATTENTION, Il y a beaucoup de monde qui restent longtemps, donc il faut attendre & c'est la guerre pour avoir une place.

The pastries are disappointingly poor, the atmosphere way too loud, & a staff person kicked me out of my table, which was apparently reserved for noon at 11:45am. They really need to up their pastry game: the meringue was gritty (sugar not properly mixed in), the laminated pastry was chewy rather than flaky, & the flavours need improvement as well. Very pretty place, though.

Really good atmosphere & best suitable for Brunch & breakfast.

I was surprised by how overrated this place is. The food feels like they are trying too hard to be'different' & some waiters looked like they hated their lives, no one smiling, messing up orders, doesn't feel'warm' in any way in terms of reception, seating & service. Moreover people come & order a 2$ thing off the menu & hog the tables with their laptops for the next 4 hours. Slightly disappointed & I had heard good things about this place so I was expecting better.

Upscale cafe in beautiful architectural setting. I had the panzanella salad with chicken added. The salad was huge, fresh, filled with huge heirloom tomatoes, nectarines, plums, olives, homemade croutons that soaked up a delicious vinaigrette made with excellent olive oil. The chicken was disappointing: thin slices of bland, ungrilled, generic chicken. This is a place for a quick lunch to impress. I just wish they would post or tweet when they are closed to the public for a private event.

I really enjoy coming here. I try & get out of my house to work & love that they have a lot of spots for seating.
The Cafe is open early & serves pastries & drinks. You can order to go or stay & enjoy. If I'm not mistaken I think you can order breakfast food from the kitchen but that's it. The Lunch menu / Kitchen isn't available until lunch time. There you will have an abundance of lunch options from sandwiches, pizzas, salads, etc.
I've had their sandwiches, very large portions & very delicious. It is on the pricier side but good nonetheless. If you plan on eating inside the cafe, they give you a number & bring you your food which is nice especially when you're studying or chatting with friends.
The servers are very friendly & the space is kept very clean!
Only caveat is that I wish there were more spots with outlets - there are booths that don't have outlets & it would be better if they did. They do have other spots with outlets available so it's definitely not the end of the world.
Overall, I come here a lot & enjoy my time. Just know if you stay for a long period of time your pockets will feel it lol
