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.
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.

I just want to say this cafe was amazing! Staff were so accommodating, kind & made delicious coffee. The ambience was beautiful- highlight of my morning here in mile end.
Nous avons commandé un latte glacé & un café glacé, le latte ne comportait presque pas de café & le café glacé était imbuvable, il goutait le vieux café qui a été laissé sur le comptoir. Pour 5$ & 4$ j'aurais été dans un autre café qui ne m'aurait pas coûté bien plus cher, mais qui aurait eu du café de qualité. Bien déçue de mon expérience. Le croissant était délicieux & frais par contre.
What I liked :- very nice staff. The guy who gave me the coffee was well behaved & in general the staff was very friendly to everyone around. They had two TVs inside so a good place to watch a game with friends.
What I didn't like :-
1. I ordered a coffee for 3.5 & they asked me for CASH! This was super unexpected. They had an ATM machine which charged me 2.75 dollars for withdrawal. The person who served me was kind enough to say that I can enjoy my coffee & then find an ATM nearby & pay later but it was raining heavily & the nearest ATM is also not so near.
2. The tables were exceptionally small. I realized that the cafe was not for working. My 14 inch laptop & a coffee cup fit the whole width!
Gros coup de coeur pour ce café de quartier ! Meilleur bagel au saumon fumé que j'ai mangé ! 😅 Produits locaux, belle ambiance festive, café de qualité, beaucoup de choix, staff sympathique ! Une combinaison gagnante !
Excellent espresso & lemon poppyseed muffin. Classic cafe focussed on good espresso with a reasonable selection of pastries. Some merch available. Worth the stop if you are in the area picking up bagels from St Viateur.
Amazing friendly & quick Italian cafe! Cappuccino & iced coffee was good. Bagel with smoked salmon tasted delicious. They serving up St Viateur bagels 🥯😋
