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.

The cornetto de pistacchio was so good! Good latte too.

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.

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!

Awesome staff, atmosphere & coffee. I'm still on the fence which barista makes the best double lattes. The lattes glasses are great too!

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

I agree that this cafe serves great lattes &. Is a good place to stop if you like takeout. The staff are pleasant, but the last time I was there all the tables were occupied so we had to sit outside & luckily it wasn’t raining
