Reviews describe Brûlerie Urbaine as a cozy, characterful spot with a strong coffee program and generous brunch portions, where dishes like poutine, Eggs Benedict and wraps are enjoyed, salads with a homey dressing and home fries hit the mark, and the space with a terrace or interior plus a small kids area adds to the appeal. The atmosphere and service are repeatedly praised for friendliness, reasonable prices, and good value, with many highlights about the coffee and welcoming staff. However, experiences vary with kitchen execution and service speed, notes of cold or underwhelming items like a club sandwich, a dry carrot cake, or a chai latte that fell short, occasional long waits, and some cleanliness or attentiveness issues. Some reviews mention expensive feel versus quality, while others point to a convenient location near transit and the option for gluten-free meals, making Brûlerie Urbaine a popular choice for coffee lovers and brunch seekers who value ambiance and portions but hope for more consistency.
If you're looking for a classic breakfast then this is the place to go! Fair prices, great coffee selection, & a lot of food though I wish the waffles/pancakes where not as dry 🥞

Not the most hospitable service. Barely acknowledged, female cashier rolled her eyes when we placed our breakfast order. The male waiter brushed us off when we asked for a second round of coffee, opting to serve only half our table. We were a polite group & tipped well. They seemed to be nice to all the guests around our table. I hate to think that we were discriminated against due to our race.
Not the first time I've been here but after today potentially the last.
*The food was good.
The meals are always perfectly cooked, kudos to chef & kitchen staff The waiters & crew in the dining room are very busy & hardworking! They are often short staffed! Please be nice to them! Attention big boss/owner... your staff needs help! Also, please upgrade the coffee that's included in your meals!!!! You might as well be serving instant coffee.... It's pretty awful! Shame on you! Your specialty is coffee! Your customers should not have to pay an additional $5-6 for a decent coffee!
Expert's in coffee, they lack flavor sometimes on pastries. Brunch is delicious except 35$-to 40& for 2 people. They have a wide variety of types of drinks & the service is very sociable & kind one of the most remarkable groups of workers. For just coffee or drinks the cost about 4.5/person on average. Expect a French welcoming but they also are welcoming to others, unlike most québécois companies. The work stations are clean with a nice odder of different coffees.
Outstanding Breakfast, they use good quality products & large portions are served, excellent value for your money. Great selection of coffee grains from all over. Well decorated, & clean.

Great choice of food, pastries & coffee. They roast coffee in-house & have a vert wide selection. You choose what you want to eat, order & pay at the counter &, then they will serve you at the table. They are a little slow on refills for coffee & water, but I enjoyed the food enough to not take it too much into account.
Food seems really good! Price are reasonable. They serve to your table. Very polite waiters. Spacious place. You can buy different type dried of coffee/ tea or honey, jam, or some dishes or mugs. Alcohol can also be served here; they have some options. They have breakfast, brunch, snd lunch! I had my brunch( two eggs+ potato+ fruits) at 3 pm! Do not worry to order breakfast items in the afternoon
I love going to La Brulerie. A cozy spot for coffee enthusiasts, offering great service & food, amazing coffee & a welcoming atmosphere. The kids' corner adds a delightful touch, making it a perfect spot for families to enjoy quality coffee & treats. Places like this one are very rare to find. A must-visit gem for coffee lovers of all ages.

A decent coffee place for a quick bite to eat. I love their coffees. Service was good & the staff were friendly & helpful. The place is very cozy but can use a bit of renovations. Prices are average for what's being served in this place. Parking can be a challenge.
Reviewing only pastries & coffee.
For supposedly speciality coffee place their brew batch was pretty awful, extreme dark roast nothing more to it. Didn't finish it. Pastries meh, dry & stale :D
Service people were lovely though.
Super overpriced for what it is. We paid 115$ for 3 people food + coffee.
Food - average taste, nothing exceptional. Crepe fillings were too salty. Crepes themselves were too dry. Coffee - for a place that has "brûlerie" in Its name, the coffee is atrocious! Espresso tastes like a watered down filter & filter tastes like something you will get in a motel in some god forgotten USA village.
Service - inexistant. I guess they make you pay tips upfront for this specific reason. Horrible
Atmosphere - ok.
Went there for breakfast. Premium prices for mediocre food. My crepe bretonne was small & tasted like cardboard.
For a place that calls themselves a 'brulerie', you would expect at least the coffee to be good. Wrong. My espresso had no crema whatsoever & tasted watery. Even Allô mon Coco gets you better food & more consistent quality. Don't waste your time on this place, there are so many good breakfast places in Montreal, this is not one of them.
