Review Summary

Café de'Mercanti is described as a warm, unpretentious neighborhood hub with a cozy living-room vibe where the coffee, especially the espresso, is consistently praised as rich, smooth, and authentically Italian, and pastries like cannoli and pistachio croissants are highlighted as a treat. Reviewers frequently note friendly, efficient service and a welcoming atmosphere, often with ample seating and a casual terrace for outdoor chats, and a few reviews mention the original Star Trek playing on TV. Several comments place it among Montreal’s best coffee spots, with some naming it the top choice in NDG and Monkland Village, and the cafe is appreciated for opening early and inviting quick visits or longer stays. While crowds and noise can be a downside during peak times, most feel the quality and atmosphere justify the bustle, and prices are seen as fair for a personalized experience. Some critiques mention a lack of visible food or occasional air conditioning complaints that affect comfort, and a minority advise against going when in a hurry, yet overall the place is viewed as worth a visit for coffee purists and casual patrons alike. No wifi is noted by some reviewers, making it a spot to linger and chat rather than work.

Il y avait trop de monde & il fallait préparer plusieurs commandes en même temps. J'ai commandé un cappuccino qui avait très peu de café, j'ai bu presque du lait.

Looking for the perfect espresso in Montreal? Café de' Mercanti on Monkland Ave is a true gem that brings a slice of Italy right to NDG! 🇮🇹☕?

From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee hits you, & you know you're in for something special. Their espresso is hands-down one of the best in the city-rich, smooth, & authentically Italian, just like in Rome. Whether you're a coffee purist or love a creamy cappuccino, you'll find your new favorite here.

The vibe is cozy & welcoming, with friendly staff who make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. There's plenty of seating inside & a cute garden terrace for sunny days-perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment with a book. Don't miss their pastries & fresh cannoli, piped to order & absolutely delicious.

Café de' Mercanti is more than just a coffee shop-it's a neighborhood hub with a real community feel. If you're in NDG, do yourself a favor & stop by for a true Italian coffee experience. Highly recommended!

Service was quite fast
Ordered a cappuccino & donut. Tastes all good, would have preferred coffee & food to be hotter but the ambiance was quite cute & cozy for a neighborhood coffee place. No wifi so ideal if you want to be somewhere to disconnect. All in all will return

I came across an advertisement on Instagram for this café, & I arranged a day for my family to visit in order to enjoy a cappuccino & croissant, as I have a strong affinity for these items. It was Saturday noon. I ordered two cappuccinos plus a croissant, brownie & 2 slice of cake. The guy who received the order could hardly hear. We took care of ourselves, despite having paid for the services. The cappuccino was predominantly composed of milk, with little discernible flavor of coffee.(Almost latte) The cake lacked freshness, & the croissant had a tangerine flavor that did not appeal to my taste. It was not something I anticipated.

Café de' Mercanti is a true gem! The cozy ambiance, authentic Italian vibes, & perfect lattes make it a must-visit spot. Their cappuccinos & ricotta pistachio donuts are simply unforgettable. Whether you're here for coffee, pastries, or their delicious fluffy pizzas, everything is top-notch. Highly recommended for a delightful experience!

I have tried this café two times, I ordered a cappuccino & a latte but there was no difference between them & I ordered the medium sized but the weight & amount of drink in the cup was honestly low, which is not good!
