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.
Très belle assiette, les pommes de terre grenailles sont très bien pensées.
Belle décoration & cosi.
Seulement triste que le serveur ne vienne pas vous voir pour savoir si tous va bien ou pour plus de café.
Cependant pour de la tranquillité vous l'avez !
Food was delicious & served quickly.
Clean place. Clean washrooms , kid friendly with change table in washroom. They even have a small kid zone with some toys to keep them occupied.
Super nice staff.
Will visit again & recommend

Très bel endroit pour déguster un bon café après une visite à l'oratoire Saint-Joseph, que se soit sur la terrasse ou a l' intérieur, belle ambiance & petit coin enfant 👍
The food & service are not top notch, but the location is great & price is fair, allowing me to keep it on my list of quick bites when in the area. The small children zone is a great addition & advantage they have.
I got a dirty glass, dirty plate, dirty napkins.
I order NOT crispy bacon in my Club sandwich (which the girl ensuredme that it will not be).
The chicken is COLD!!! From fridge!
Tost double re tosted.
& I had to tip them from begining? I shouldn't. No more any more until I try. They didnt deserve it.
😡
Très belle découverte, nous avons bien mangé, pour un prix contenu avec des portions généreuse & un personnel adorable.
Il y a même un espace dédié aux enfant avec des livres & des jeux.
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 🥞

I've been here 3 times. The food is fine, but the service is incredibly slow. The first time, I thought it was a fluke, so I didn't mind it too much. The second time, I did get frustrated, but unfortunately, I decided to try it a third time. &, lo & behold, I was disappointed again! 30 minutes to make a club sandwich. Incredible!
Will not go back.
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.
Je travaille dans le quartier depuis 20 ans. J'ai vu péricliter ce commerce au cours des dernières années. Il était jadis toujours bondé, rendez-vous d'étudiants, d'employés de l'UdeM, & de résidents du quartier pour le petit déjeuner, le diner & le souper.
Il est maintenant toujours à moitié vide, & pour cause : la cuisine y est mauvaise, le choix de plats restreint, les prix exagérément élevés pour la qualité & certaines politiques récentes représentent des irritants : les croissants n'arrivent jamais avant 9h (impossible donc de déjeuner avant d'aller travailler), il faut faire la file pour commander au comptoir & il faut payer & donner le pourboire AVANT d'être servi. C'est quand même un peu fort.
J'espère qu'ils se ressaisiront car ce genre d'établissement manque dans le quartier.

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.
