Cozy looking place but didn't feel like it. Very crowded. No place to sit. Espresso was weak & dull, didn't have enough aroma. But the English breakfast tea was good. Service was lacking. Didn't even put the coffee in to go cups when asked for take out at the cash. They don't take Amex either.View more

Came here for brunch & had a wonderful avocado & mushroom crostini. Was not too busy despite coming on a Saturday at 10:30. The decor & vibes were beautiful to enjoy with company or to study. Definitely worth your time to check out if you are in the area.View more

Superb place to grab breakfast, lunch or brunch, as well as a really neat co-working or study spot. Just be mindful of areas where you cannot have your laptop open so as to keep space available for eating clients.
The space is also available for renting for events!View more

Very nice cafe with nice atmosphere & amazing food!
The only thing I did not really like is their coffee. I tried both their iced & hot latte, but I found the taste of the coffee really bitter.
The rest of the food is really good!View more

A little loud if you're there to study like us & the chairs weren't the most comfortable, but the food made it worth it. So good, will definitely come back just for their desserts.View more

Great brunch place! We went on a Sunday & there was plenty of space. I ordered the avocado/mushroom toast, which was excellent. I also shared the lemon/blueberry pancakes. They were good. In terms of service, you have to order your food at the counter, & they bring it to you. The food came quickly. The only negative with the service was that the servers weren't very cordial. They just picked our plates without asking when we weren't completely done.
I would still recommend it for a good & fairly priced brunch place.View more

The vibes & the aesthetic are top notch. It's a sleek & well polished spot. The iced blue matcha drink was pretty interesting.View more

Expérience culinaire extraordinaire pour les brunchs & les viennoiseries ! Le croissant aux framboises enrobé de chocolat blanc aux framboises est juste DÉBILE ! Il y a une purée de framboises à l'intérieur qui s'écoule quand on croque dedans. Juste divin ! Le croissant aux amandes & bleuets est également délicieux. Les pizzas sont très très bonnes. Le cappuccino pourrait être un brin meilleur; il n'est pas mauvais, mais ce n'est pas le meilleur café que j'ai pris. L'endroit est bondé de monde & c'est très convivial & joli. J'y retournerai pour goûter aux plats du menu brunch. Je voyais passer les assiettes & je me disais que ça avait l'air vraiment bon !View more

Absolutely my favourite place in Montreal! You can taste the quality of the food, the beautiful atmosphere & enjoy a great cappuccino! They have a variety of food, you can choose from pizza to a salty croissant (which is delicious), or lot of sweet choices! The round croissant are so good! The stuff is very polite & helpful! A must try & then you won't change it anymore :)View more

Visited this place with my friends. The coffee was excellent, but the food was just okay. I did enjoy the pizza, though. Felt it was a bit on the pricey side.View more

Had an awesome late morning at Café Améma with my 13-year-old son & nephew on Saturday. The place was buzzing with energy, but the service was still quick & super friendly. Even with the rush, everything came out fresh & fast.
I had the gnocchi, which was packed with flavor, & we shared the burrata so creamy & delicious. The vibe was just right modern, relaxed, & welcoming for all ages.
After a couple of hours of chilling & enjoying ourselves, we realized just how great of a place it was-comfortable, inviting, & the kind of spot you just want to hang out at.
Before heading out, I couldn't resist sneaking in a cannoli for dessert & I'm so glad I did. Perfectly crispy, creamy, & just the right amount of sweet. Definitely a spot worth coming back to!View more

Beautiful café with a lot of places to sit. My kids loved the tables that looked like little houses. They also loved the seating with all the colorful cushions. I had a cappuccino & my kids the hot chocolates. We love the designs on our drinks. I tried the Dubai cookie. If you love chocolate, this is the cookie for you. Beware, sugar rush. My daughter had the raspberry'supreme.' It looks like a rolled up croissant with fushia cream on top. We both loved the pistachio cream & raspberry jam inside. It was divine. My son had a normal croissant. It was really crunchy outside & fluffy & buttery inside. It's a bit expensive but the quality is there.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

This place is gorgeous. Quite busy during lunch time but that's a given. My sister & I were kind of annoyed that it was so expensive, but when we started eating we understood why. It was worth every penny! Delicious & fresh flavors & fair portions. We had the kale salad & the shakshuka with coffees. Definitely coming back!View more
