Overall, Cafe Fernanda feels like a warm, welcoming spot in Mile End with a cozy, European-inspired vibe, where strong coffee and a tasty range of drinks meet excellent Portuguese pastries, especially pasteis de nata, and attentive staff create a hospitable atmosphere that encourages lingering or getting work done; the space is comfy with nice lighting, but the music can be a bit loud for some, and a few items have been described as inconsistent, yet the overall experience is repeatedly praised as charming, reliable, and worth returning for.
Superb. So superb, we came here during our trip to Montreal, great coffee & the natas were great, went back for more after our first order. We will definitely return next time we are in town.

This has easily become one of my favourite cafes in the area. The atmosphere is lovely, the staff are very kind, & the coffee/food is great!! I usually go to catch up on some work & it's a great spot for that-comfy seating, access to power outlets, & a little bit of liveliness without being packed!
The music is fun & different from classic'coffee shop music' (& sometimes a liiiiitle louder) so you might want to keep that in mind depending on the vibe you're looking for.
Fernanda Café is such a vibe 🤍 Cozy atmosphere, amazing coffee, & delicious pastries. Fernanda herself is super friendly , welcoming, & attentive, which makes the experience even better. Perfect spot to relax . Definitely coming back ☕✨
I didn't have time to take a picture of the food because I devoured it in seconds 🤭 best coffee shop in Montreal! Delicious desserts, cozy vibe, fair price & amazing service!
We just got 4 coffees to go, oat milk for the cappuccino, they have it all, & the coffees were great! Lovely little cafe, cozy atmosphere & very friendly staff. 💕 will try to come back to try the yummy-looking pastries & Portuguese grilled cheese sandwich.

Cute decor & nice ambiance. The coffee was watery & too hot to drink. I don't think whole milk was used for my Cortado - that would explain the lack of latte art.
Wonderful coffee shop! Coffee was delicious & the food was as well. Top notch service. Must not miss the natas! They are from Portugal & sooo delicious.
I absolutely LOVE this little café. In the middle of a neighbourhood that is favoured with good cafés, this is my favourite ... & I've tried lots of them. Fernanda is Portuguese in flavour & you can certainly indulge your craving for a Pastel de Nata, but there are other treats too. For a light lunch, have a Portuguese grilled cheese including sun-dried tomato with optional chorizo or ham. Coffee or tea of course.
Pierre is a wonderful host. You'll enjoy your visit. Olå
Love this themed coffee shop. The cappuccino is so flavorful & bold. Grilled cheese is just what I needed on a cold rainy day & ambience is perfect for a good Sunday read. Highly recommend!
