Améa Café

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.

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.

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

Lobby itself is it's own experience not the mention the actual seating area. The plants are all fake, but they add such a nice ambience. The food is AMAZING. The pastries are beautiful & the staff are super polite. To note, the seating by the cafe is not for working, but there is seating inside the building, exterior to the cafe where you can bring your food & study.

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.

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!

Loved the food, coffee & experience. The strawberry pain dorée is a must try, very fresh, shakshouka was good too. Variety of options to choose from, Service was fast & waiters were very nice. Many seatings available on Sunday if you go before 10:30 am. Greenery & art all over the place which is also nice. It closes at 4 pm thats only the downside but otherwise I recommend it.

Conveniently located downtown Montreal, it is a nice place to visit for breakfast, brunch, lunch or a coffee. Lots of room divided in different areas, so no worries to find a seating. We really enjoyed the « croque mademoiselle » for brunch with a nice latte. We'll be back to taste for items on the extended menu. Service was ok with the person that brought our plates, he seemed new & obviously lack experience in servicing. This is a self semi self service as you order at the counter & you get the coffee when it is ready while the food is brought to your table. Worth the detour!

They have one of the best avocado on toast that I have ever tried (10/10). Cappuccino was good. Spacious area with multiple seatings, soft ambient lighting which is calming & great for working.

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.

Note: It's very hard to rate this place because I have only been once. I plan to go again & might change my food review. The ambience is really good. There's some nice seating places, ample options & chance to reserve ahead. The food - not so good. Got a shakshuka & it costed $22. It was not flavorful at all. Just tangy & basically not tasty. The portion size was good & the presentation was good as well. One thing I wanna call out - the tips! Montreal servers - please if you expect tips please provide service. If I am dining out on a Sunday morning, it wouldn't hurt you to smile at me. I mean come on. A 10% tip gets me a frown & a 15% tip gets me no service. Why?

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.

On the ground floor of the Zu co-working space in Montreal, the building where Amea cafe is located is adorned with art work, installations, & sculptures which add to the lively ambiance.

Some seating areas have electric plugs which make it easy to get some work done. There are also booths for a bit more privacy (the electric plugs don't work in all of them).

Quiet in the mornings & bustling from lunch & throughout the afternoon.

Cafe, food, snacks, alcoholic drinks, coffee, etc. There is something for everyone.

The place is clean & well kept.
The washroom area have individual stalls for everyone to use.

Prices are average across the city.
