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.

Not Friendly & Bad Coffee:

The'tall, young' Barista did not know how to make a proper Flat White (must be made with proper ratio of espresso to microfoam) & instead mainly like a cup of'warm milk.' Perhaps because he was too focused on chatting it up with his colleague on the topic of hockey stats (no issues with that, so long as you can also focus & make a proper coffee for the customer).

The'older' fellow who took the order at the cash was rude & presented a classic'arrogant vibe.' No'good morning' or a even hello to the customer?

Quite rare to experience both arrogant & unhospitable attitude...& bad coffee but they nailesd it!

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.
