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!
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.

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.
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 !
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 :)
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.
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!
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.
