Beautiful space & very friendly, accommodating servers! The food was nothing short of phenomenal! Our party got the Avocado Toast, Turkish Eggs, Halloumi Plate, & Chicken Waffles - we recommend every single one :)

The drinks were a bit underwhelming, unfortunately. They have a variety of specialty coffees, but the flavours of the Miso Caramel Latte & Almond Croissant Latte didn't stand out. I'd say it's best to save the money on drinks.

It can get quite busy, especially on weekends, so make plans to arrive early or make a reservation!

Amazing brunch spot!! We loved the Matcha pancakes & the halloumi plate. We also ordered the specialty coffees, which were great!

In a city with so many food & coffee options, this place still manages to offer its customers an incredibly unique experience.

The owner, being of a marketing background, has mastered the art of'eating with your eyes'; this is visible in the fun & colourful dishes & beverages that is offered through the menu.

The quality didn't stop at the appearance. It carried through to the flavour of each item we ordered.

Bravo!

You have to reserve to get a spot here but it's worth it. The menu is very varied & everything is delicious. The coffees are great & really big. Service however was great, but extremely slow. We waited for like 30 min for our food, in the meantime we had finish our coffee. Still recommended to try though. It gets super busy & loud so it's hard to talk.

The avocado toast was super normal, nothing wow about it.
The pancake which comes with dulche de leche was super super sweet! I know you are going for something sweet, but then it's 1000 times more than highest sweet you ever tried!
Coffee was very normal too!
Nothing special to pay 70$ for these plus an orange juice!
Obviously you pay for influencers fee!

Breakfast here is an absolute delight! Every bite feels like a warm, comforting hug to start the day. The menu balances classic favorites (fluffy pancakes, perfectly crispy bacon) with creative twists-think avocado toast with zesty lime or decadent stuffed French toast. Ingredients taste fresh & high-quality, & the coffee is rich & aromatic. The staff radiates positivity, offering quick service without ever feeling rushed. Cozy ambiance with a touch of modern flair makes it ideal for solo mornings or lively brunch gatherings. Affordable, flavorful.

If you're looking for a fresh & exciting brunch spot in Montreal, Barley Bar à Céréales is a must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the stylish yet cozy atmosphere sets the perfect tone for a laid-back meal. The staff is warm, welcoming, & attentive, making sure every guest has a great experience. Even during busy hours, service is efficient, & the team is always happy to offer recommendations.

The food? Absolutely fantastic. Their pancakes are beautifully presented & packed with flavor, while their avocado & beet hummus toast is a standout-creamy, fresh, & perfectly seasoned. Their halloumi platter is another crowd-pleaser, offering a delicious balance of textures & flavors. Of course, the main attraction is their cereal bar, where you can mix & match classic & unique cereals with various toppings for a fun, customizable treat.

Decent brunch place in Montreal! They have a nice big private room you can reserve if you are a big group of people/friends! Food wise it's alright, small menu, limited selection, nothing too fancy but it's tasty. They have a nice selection of coffee drinks!
