Au Grain de Café is widely regarded as a cozy and charming destination within the Mont Tremblant village, frequently highlighted for its welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. Many visitors appreciate the variety of coffee drinks, particularly the lattes and espressos, along with menu favorites like the Croque Monsieur and omelettes. While the establishment is often praised as the best spot for a relaxing break, experiences can vary regarding food quality, portion sizes, and wait times during peak hours. Although some patrons have noted concerns about inconsistent coffee flavor or pricing, the general consensus points to a pleasant and popular local spot that is well worth a visit for a quick bite or a quiet moment.
Great latte, but it was $9 for a 12oz which is a little over the top. I added flavour & almond milk, but it still felt a little expensive for the size. Staff were lovely & prepared the beverage quickly.
I went to Opening Day 2023 to support the hill. I walked around & went through the stores. I wanted to celebrate with a special hot chocolate on the Tremblant Hill, as I remembered as a child. The cafe was not the ski hill vibe you would expect from a world renowned ski hill. Not enough seating, asking families to share their table for single patrons. An interior designer would have a field day to renovate this exclusive space to accommodate patrons who spend quite a bit of money to ski & stay at the hill. The cafe as it presents itself with large & multiple plants, you would expect to see at your grandmas house, is well enough for a small town not a ski resort . Witnessed 15 people in 20 mins leaving because there was not enough seating. The bathroom needs updating & a deep cleaning. Food stored on the ground in a traffic walkway to the bathroom. This is 2023 why does the Alterra Mountain Company not take a look through their merchants to make sure they represent the vibe they are selling. I do apologize for the blunt comments. I travel & ski the world full time & Tremblant is where I learned to ski over 50 years ago, needless to say they have a special place in my heart. The cafe needs an updated ski theme & menu. The staff are overly friendly which in some cases means they are over compensating for inadequacies.

Beau café, super service, mais le café était imbuvable. On était 5 & on a tous fini par jeter nos boissons pour aller chez Starbucks... Payer 6$ un chocolat chaud & se rendre compte que c'est du Nesquick c'est un peu insultant. Dommage parce que l'ambiance était vraiment superbe.
The food was quite good, however they don’t allow computers. I had to work on many important things & only had my small phone to do so. Apparently they don’t allow computers because they don’t want clients to stay too long, but it’s contradictive with their book stand, encouraging people to read. Plus, we didn’t feel very welcome & the seats are not much comfortable. Anyway, I went to Starbucks & had my work done.
On a rainy & cold day, the coffee shop was full. Not much places to sit, so we decided to have our coffees & hot chocolates to go. Like I mentioned, it was full, so it took a bit longer than usual to get our order, but still, it was worth it.
