Cafe Fernanda se distingue par une ambiance chaleureuse et accueillante où le personnel est très aimable et le cadre cosy rappelle une visite chez des amis; la carte allie café de qualité et pâtisseries portugaises, avec les pasteis de nata en vedette et des boissons variées comme cappuccino, cortado, chai et matcha, souvent décrites comme délicieuses; la musique et la déco apportent une touche européenne et une atmosphère animée qui peut être plus ou moins calme selon l'heure, certains notant le volume un peu fort alors que d'autres apprécient la playlist; c'est aussi un endroit pratique pour travailler ou lire, avec des sièges confortables et des prises, ce qui explique qu'il fasse partie des spots préférés du quartier; les avis restent majoritairement élogieux sur le service et l'expérience, même si quelques personnes mentionnent des boissons à emporter parfois décevantes ou des plats simples et variés selon les goûts; en somme Cafe Fernanda est perçu comme un petit bijou du Mile End, offrant une touche d'authenticité portugaise, de bons cafés et des pâtisseries fraîches qui donnent envie de revenir.
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
This café is seriously flying under the radar, & I can't figure out why. It's the kind of place you might walk past without noticing, just because there are so many options around. But once you step inside, you're greeted with a warm welcome by the amazing staff!
Their selection of coffees is great, & their pastries? Top notch. If you ever get the chance to visit, make sure to try their pasteis de nata, you won't regret it! ⭐?
Tried this place for the first time today & we loved it!
As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a warm decor with charming European/Portuguese touches.
The owner provided us with great service, & was patient & kind while we took some time to decide what we wanted.
I had a delicious nata straight from Portugal, & a perfectly balanced cortado made with smooth espresso.
The music also deserves an honourable mention; he has great taste & it only added to the atmosphere.
As soon as I was finished I was already looking forward to my next visit. Thank you!

Café Fernanda is a lovely new addition to the Mile End neighborhood, & it's already becoming one of my favorite spots. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm, cozy & inviting ambiance. The minimalist decor strikes a perfect balance-simple & uncluttered, yet full of warmth & thoughtful touches. The food is fresh, flavorful, & made with care. The coffee is just as impressive.
What truly sets Café Fernanda apart, though, is the hospitality. The host is welcoming & genuinely friendly, making you feel more like a guest in their home than a customer. It's the kind of place where you'll want to linger. Highly recommend.
Very cozy & welcoming place in Mile-end! European style coffee, the best natas i've ever had shipped directly from Portugal & big choice of delicious desserts. Excellent service & staff are always nice & friendly!

Je suis allée l'autre jour découvrir ce nouvel espace (j'adore les cafés du Mile End). Je pensais que ce serait un endroit confortable pour travailler... mais je n'y suis pas restée très longtemps. Les pâtisseries sont ok, mais le grilled cheese était sans plus. En plus, les choix musicaux étaient distrayants & le volume trop fort.
Fantastic service & really great atmosphere! The food & coffee was delicious - best natas in Montreal, i was told they are shipped straight from Portugal! Carrot cake was also excellent as was our coffee. The owner & staff are very nice, will definitely be back soon. You can tell they really care & put effort into all the food, decor, etc.
As a side note, I love tinned fish & haven't found any cafes in Montreal that sell it until now, so next time I am looking forward to picking up some of their selection!
My boyfriend & I found this little hidden gem while on a walk around the neighbourhood. We were greeted with a warm welcome by the owner of the café who gave us amazing service! We had to try their natas, which are imported directly from Portugal, & had a wonderful coffee & matcha. Definitely will be coming back, & recommend this café to anyone looking for a cute & warm environment!
The best of the recent spawn of new cafes in the neighbourhood: the coffee has the nice neutral earthier taste that I've been seeking (after years of the fruitier 3rd wave coffees); the food is quite nice for the right price (même des jo-louis maison qu'ils appellent des'jean-louis') ; the Portuguese decor is charming & the shop is cozy, especially in the company of the owner & the staff that are genuinely kind.

Cozy coffee shop! perhaps being biased as a fellow Portuguese but everything was brilliant. Giving 4 for food as the savoury menu needs to be tried & tested!
Cafe Fernanda is a welcoming café unfortunately the food & drinks are pretty average, we tried the grilled cheese & the iced macha which was pretty watery!
