Cafe Felice is widely praised for a warm, cozy atmosphere and excellent coffee, with standout drinks like cappuccinos, lattes, and strong dark roasts paired with fresh, homemade tasting food and popular breakfast bagel sandwiches. The staff are repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming, and attentive, contributing to a social, neighborhood vibe that makes it a reliable spot for a morning coffee or a casual meal. It is often highlighted as a top find in Montreal, especially in Mile End, with a charming, family-owned feel and a lively decor. A few reviews note a cash-only policy and the presence of an ATM, sometimes leading to inconvenience or extra costs, and some mention small tables that are not ideal for working. Overall, Cafe Felice comes across as a dependable go-to for great coffee, tasty bagels, and a friendly scene that keeps people returning.
I got surprised by the cash-only payment because the Google listing included card payment. They do have an ATM, so it wasn't a huge problem & I'll know to take cash out ahead on my next visit.
I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast egg sandwich I got. The staff was very nice & friendly. I'm looking forward to my next visit.
Best coffee spot in Montreal (really). Warm, cozy atmosphere & excellent coffee. The food tastes fresh & homemade, & the service is genuinely welcoming. Note: cash only, have ATM inside, Highly recommended.
Cash only which usually only means one thing in Montreal... Food. Ok Coffee: great. Service:barely. Come here for good coffee if you have some change in your pocket & leave.
Coffee is on par with the rest of the neighborhood. It's good, but it cost me an extra 3 bucks just to be able to pay for it. I mean, I'm all for cash friendly. Establishments, but cash only or atm.I don't know if that's acceptable these days.I don't think so.
It's always a good morning when I get to go to Felice. Delicious strong dark roast coffee, the nicest nicest staff, & super chill vibe. A perfect cafe.

This family owned cafe is one of the best finds in Montreal. Stumbled upon this & I will definitely look forward to coming back next time I'm in the city. Breakfast sandwiches are great, they use St Viature bagels from next door & the staff are incredible
Je me suis présentée pour un petit déjeuner & pour y travailler.
La personne derrière le comptoir était très très occupée à parler avec ses amis ( clients) du dernier match de je ne sais quoi, de manière très bruyante. Finalement, lorsque je m'apprête à payer, on me dit qu'ils ne prennent QUE comptant & voici un ATM.
Cet avis devrait être marqué à la porte du café avertissant les clients, pas en minuscule sur le menu.
Très décevant, je n'y retournerai pas.
