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.

Nice little italian coffeeshop. Good espresso. Good side snack: croissants, cookies.

Great casual terrace to enjoy your coffee outdoors. Sit & chat for as long as you like. Some people had their dogs. I had a single shot latte which was good, but I'd probably go for a double shot next time. They have some croissants & cookies but I didn't see any food.

This place feels like my own little secret café-like I discovered it myself. But truth is, they've been around for 13 years.

Came in to meet a friend. First time here. The vibes? Chill, unpretentious, & welcoming. Feels like a cozy living room or your best friend's kitchen.

You're greeted by the rich aroma of fresh-ground coffee, the soft murmur of conversation, & a counter full of homemade cookies & pastries-some familiar, all tempting.

Prices are fair for a personalized experience. $3 for an Earl Grey tea with steamed milk, served in a glass if you're staying in. $4 for a smooth Americano.

Behind the espresso machine, a cool-looking gent with salt-&-pepper hair. At the counter, a friendly woman who welcomed me when she heard it was my first visit.

The decor? Purposefully unfinished-or maybe just always evolving. My wife asked if it was under construction. I said, Yes, like our busy lives-always in progress.

Long story short, it's now on my go-to list-for coffee, good company, or just sitting alone, writing Google reviews.

My favourite coffee place in NDG! Their coffee is smooth & flavourful & when combined with a nutty milk or regular milk it becomes even tastier (at least in my opinion). The staff is lovely & they are always nice & welcoming. They offer croissants, sandwiches & cookies. There's a nice indoor vibe. The outdoor sitting area is at a street corner so you get plenty of sun in the morning & have some shade in the afternoon

I used to come here a lot over the last few years & love their coffee & cookies. I visited again today after a very long time & ordered an almond milk latte. There was basically no coffee in it & I felt like I was drinking heated up milk. The most disappointing coffee I had in a while, especially at a place I loved so much

L'expresso & les cookies à base d'amandes sont excellents.

Stopped in while shopping on Monkland for a hot chocolate & baked cookie snack. The hot chocolate was very good & one of the better ones I had...but the Chocolate Coffee Cookie was ok (not bad but lacking in the posed coffee flavoring). There is a nice quiet seating area with a nice large window facing Monkland. Enjoy!
