Delightful cafe with superb service & delicious drinks. I had a'dry cappuccino' - which is a shot of espresso with'milk foam' that isn't super mixed together. Is so good !

Their natas were very close to the natas I had at Belem! It's a cute little cafe with great atmosphere & great food & drinks.

The Natas were super flavourful & yummy & the local is nicely decorated with great ambiance. :)

Sadly our to-go drinks left to be desired. Very watery drinks. Our Chai Latte wasn't hot, & the london fog seemed more like a tea with a dash of milk, far from the creamy drink one would expect. :(

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.

Café Fernanda is a true gem in the heart of Montréal, offering an authentically Portuguese café experience right in the Mile End.

Stepping inside, you're greeted by a cozy, inviting atmosphere & a staff that radiates warmth & charm, making every visit feel like a homecoming.

What truly sets Café Fernanda apart is its incredible selection of Portuguese pastries, especially the renowned pasteis de nata.

The natas are celebrated for their delicate, flaky crust & creamy, perfectly sweetened custard center-qualities that rival even the best bakeries in Portugal.

Beyond the natas, you'll find an impressive range of drinks-from bold cappuccinos to creamy matcha lattes-& other treats like oat cookies & scones that are equally delightful.

Whether you're craving a sublime pastry, a comforting drink, or just a welcoming place to relax, Café Fernanda delivers on every level.

For the best pasteis de nata in Montreal-& an all-around outstanding café experience-this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Top tier dessert & portuguese pastry. No sandwishes though. Impressive array of drinks available & what I tasted was delicious.

I never write reviews, but I am leaving one for this cafe for the exceptional service! My daughter & I have visited a number of times. On one occasion we asked for a grilled cheese, but they just had run out of bread - they actually ran to a nearby bakery to get bread just to make us a grilled cheese! Another time, they told us we could wait a few minutes if we wanted a pastel de nata fresh out of the oven, instead of serving us one behind the glass. This cafe is easy to miss because of the tiny entryway, but I am always impressed by the warm & friendly atmosphere, & the beautiful lighting. We went back again today, & we were amazed when the owner walked over holding my daughter's stuffed animal that we must have left months ago! Not only did he remember who it belonged to, but he made my daughter's day by describing how he had fed her food & water, & kept her cozy while she waited. The grilled cheese is great, & so are the desserts & drinks! I love the matcha. We give this cafe five stars! :D
