Cafe Fernanda comes across as a welcoming neighborhood spot in Mile End with a cozy, European inspired vibe and a warm host. The coffee program features robust espressos, creamy cortados, bold cappuccinos, and a standout matcha, while the pastry case is famed for pasteis de nata imported from Portugal, described as flaky with a creamy center, alongside other treats and a savory grilled cheese option. The atmosphere blends quiet study space with occasional liveliness, and power outlets plus comfy seating make it a good spot to work or relax, though music volume is sometimes noted as too loud. Service is regularly praised as friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, with stories of staff going the extra mile to accommodate requests or fetch fresh bread for a grilled cheese. Decor and ambience mix rustic Portuguese charm with modern touches, creating a cozy space that invites lingering and conversation. Some reviews mention minor inconsistencies such as drinks arriving lukewarm or certain pastries not meeting expectations, but the overall impression remains a charming cafe experience with top notch natas and solid coffee.
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!
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. :(
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.
