Café Lali Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)

Café Lali is much more than a cup of coffee...

Having visited several continents and crossed their oceans, Café Lali is a blend that tells of my adventures around the world.

Throughout my travels, I've wandered the backstreets of Taiwan sipping their coffee, tasting real Japanese "Kawai" foam sculptures and enjoying the rhythmic atmosphere of Australian coffee shops.

Review Summary

Café Lali in Petite Bourgogne feels like a charming discovery, a bright calm space with a minimalist counter, charming shelves, warm wood tables, and a striking spiral staircase that gives the cafe real character. The room is quiet enough to relax, chat, or simply enjoy a carefully prepared coffee, with the macchiato described as balanced and smooth and the coffee in general taken seriously. A mortadella sandwich reads as fresh, generous, and flavorful, a simple cafe staple done just right. The whole experience hinges on a warm, effortless atmosphere and service, with staff described as welcoming, attentive, and professional, making the visit feel polished but genuinely kind. The combination of great products, a beautiful setting, and cozy energy makes Café Lali a welcome neighborhood addition and worth a visit, though some note the space can be a bit small and the echo can make conversations tricky when the place is busy.

I love this cafe my friend introduced it to me & I've always wanted to come back. The coffee itself is so good, I got an iced latte with honey & they put a good amount of ice, milk & espresso, I could still taste the delicious coffee flavor. I also got a dark chocolate chip cookie, it was rlly delicious crispy & chewy & paired perfectly with the iced latte!! The barista was also super kind & sweet, thank you!!

Best tasty cappuccino in the city!!! PERFECT temperature (which most other places aren't warm enough) PERFECT texture, PERFECT flavour, not to sweet just the the perfect balance. The only thing is the small size is extremely small.
