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.
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.

Friendly neighborhood place where people can meet & socialize. Stools at the front facing outside are great for people watching. Coffee & biscotti are great also.
Have now started to come more often since last year & really enjoy the experience of great coffee, conversation, & social connections.
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.
Staff was nice but it would be nice to know it's cash only, & see the prices before as I was overcharged for a simple coffee…
The Coffee wasn't great either, wouldn't really recommend this place

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!
Great service & excellent coffee. They also have the sugar brioche which is exquisite. Sunny front outdoor seating in the morning is perfect for a coffee before starting the day. Also an excellent atmosphere to watch an important live sports game.
