I love the pastries! The staff is always super nice! I love the atmosphere too. You can come for a quick meal but you can also come to do some work. Not too quiet, not too loud. Definitely recommend!View more

This is a great'jewel' of a place to visit. Not directly on the street so you need to walk through the lobby. It has a great atrium & an abundance of unique seating zones. A great place to hang out with a great cup of coffee or 2! The pastries were great. A wonderful mix of people from students, to young professionals, to the seasoned wise! This was a great experience!View more

Lovely place to hang out for a while, I saw a lot of people working there, finding a free table is a little bit tricky, we had a slice of pizza & some pastries, they were all very good, beautiful building & atmosphere. One of the many Cafés in montreal worth the visitView more

Nice place, but they forgot our order. Brunch food didn't taste good, pastries were okay. My fiancés eggs were undercooked. Disappointing as the ambience is great, but I highly suggest to only have coffee & sweets & not the food..View more

Love their matcha, pastries, chia seed pudding, & minestrone soup. It would be great to see more plant based lunch optionsView more

Great pastries & sweets. Amazing espresso drinks. Visited a couple of times as I like the atmosphere of this place. My avocado toast with smoked salmon was ok. I am used to the real avocadoes on the toast & this was a spread & kind of liquid. Overall, a nice place to visit for breakfast or lunch.View more

This is a beautiful ambiance with different pastries & brunch options. However, there is no services after receiving foods & if you need an extra plate, utensils, bread or any other side requests you have to turn back to customers line & wait long to talk with cashier. We asked an extra piece of bread & they charged 7$! Unreasonable price for a bread & inconvenient customer service in a sense that needs to back to the line just for such a small request! In the matter of food quality, we ordered Shakshuka & supreme croissant. The Shakshuka was delicious but the breads were super stiff & the croissant taste was average. There is still a way to improvement.View more

Beautiful spot, very crowded. The line outside goes by pretty quickly. You have to order your food & the counter & they bring it to your table. A little pricey but quality & quantity of plates explains it. The coffees were great & the pastries delicious.View more

Amea is one of the most beautiful cafés I've ever had the pleasure of walking into, even the bathrooms were designed by artists! Michael Coppa's skills shine through his pastries. His menu is also full of savoury options too if your planning to stay for breakfast & lunch, which you definitely can, their venue has ample too for you to sit & stay a while.View more

Well decorated. Pleasant, efficient service. The porchetta sandwich was delicious, especially with the cacciocavallo cheese. Croissant Supreme (the strawberry cheesecake one) was a bit much for me but would definitely be open to trying their other pastries. Seating is limited so I would avoid the lunch rush, thankfully someone was willing to share their table.View more

Amea, located in the former Alcan building on Sherbrooke, is a surprisingly large yet intimate resto-café offering expanded selection of pastries & sandwiches for weekday breakfasts & lunch, as well as an excellent selection of premium coffees. On weekends there is an expanded brunch menu with a variety of hot dishes.
For our meals we chose Mushroom Avocado open face sandwich (very good), the Shakshuka (very good, a little on the runny side but with lots of fresh herbs...a interesting take but still good), & the Avocado Pomodoro open face sandwich (also very good...lots of tomatoes!). The coffee options are extensive & I had an excellent Americano.
Ordering is done at the counter (somewhat like a cafeteria style), after which a table number is provided to you & then you sit at any available table you like. There are a large number of tables as well as several two-person "shelters" (a banquet style table with a roof) to which the meal is brought to you. Overall a nice albeit somewhat busy place to have a brunch or quick meal. Enjoy!View more

I found the round croissant pastries overrated but their other croissants were soooo good. I would come back for more. The almond & blueberry one is delicious.
Their coffees are also very good.
It is worth to also pass by to spend some time in their beautiful space.
Overall great experience!View more
