Review Summary

Améa Café comes across as a bright, spacious, and stylish hub in downtown Montreal with multiple seating areas that invite studying, socializing, or a casual cafe visit. Reviewers praise the coffee and pastries, with standouts like the pistachio latte, croissants including pistachio-filled and raspberry variations, shakshouka, and a wide range of brunch options; the ambiance and decor are frequently highlighted as welcoming and conducive to work or meetings. Some downsides include noise and crowds during peak hours, occasional wait times, and mixed service experiences, along with notes that laptops and seating can be constrained during busy periods and that orders or payments could be smoother.

Found out about this place on tictoc, walking up to the building, you'd never think that there was all this amazingness going on in there. Just beautiful!! The bathroom, brilliant. The atmosphere, tranquille. Sorry, but my pizza crust was so hard, it's just so the servers could be made aware. Am I going back? most definitely..

The location is a bit strange, it's inside an office building I think? But the space is beautiful. My croque mademoiselle was nice & the sweet viral standing croissant was good too, but neither blew me away. It was pricey. It is a bit cafeteria style. They have someone seating tables (at least on weekends) but you go up to the cash register to order.

We have been trying -& failing- to come to this place since it opened two years ago. But every time we tried, it would be closed. Today we lucked out & there was no lineup. This is a beautiful dining experience if you are looking for a "high end" cafeteria style food. They have pizzas, some hot sandwiches, salads & a few hot meals but by the time we arrived, which was a little after noon & on their last open day before they closed for the holidays, there were a few unavailable items on their menu. So we settled for their chicken sandwich, a cortado coffee & a pistachio croissant filled with rhubarb filling. Absolutely delicious & top notch ingredients in every bite. So well worth the wait. The ambiance is airy & cozy at the same time. Loved it & would come again.

Améa Café is a great place to go for lunch. It has a really nice atmosphere, the food is excellent & is beautifully presented. The aubergine dish was outstanding as were the fattouch & panzanella salads. The pecan pie was also delicious. Sasha, the manager went above & beyond to make up for one of the meals that took a long time to be served. His professionalism & helpfulness was greatly appreciated. Will definitely be back!!

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.

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!
