Review Summary

Reviews of Café Larue & Fils highlight solid coffee, with standout flat whites and lattes, and even a decaf called Placebo, plus tasty desserts like carrot cake and cookies; many note quick service and a welcoming, cozy interior with a pleasant terrace that makes it a good spot to relax with friends or study. The atmosphere is described as charming and not too noisy at times, though some find the space small or crowded and the music loud, and a few guests describe the vibe as a bit beige or the air stuffy in winter. Staff are often praised for friendliness and attentiveness, with consistent service, though there are occasional complaints about rude or bossy behavior and some drinks not being hot enough. Several reviewers say they would return, citing affordable prices and the option of indoor or outdoor seating as reasons to revisit. Overall, the reviews paint Café Larue & Fils as a neighborhood favorite for good coffee and a warm, approachable vibe, with highs on beverage quality and ambiance and lows tied to space, noise, and occasional service quirks.

Spent an afternoon at the café while enjoying their flat white coffee with an extra shot of espresso. Ambiance was great & not too noisy, great enough to relax & chat with a few friends. The barista was very friendly & professional from the way he prepared our drinks. I would like to return there if I am around that neighbourhood again.

While on holiday in Montreal visiting family, & near my sister's house, we discovered this fabulous coffee shop. Great flat whites that were just perfect & the best & lightest carrot cake I have ever eaten ( the moistest).
Will definitely go back again next time 👍🙏

Great coffee & service. Love the place.

The only negative thing to say is that sometimes the air feels stuffy in the Winter because it doesn't circulate enough given how many people are inside.

It's a lovely little café located near Marché Jean-Talon. With quick service & a nice terrace, it's the perfect stop to hangout with friends. Coffees are good & the desserts are delicious as well.

This is my favorite cafe in the city. The coffee is excellent (I prefer it to the 30 nearest spots except of course the other Larue), but it isn't the primary reason I come. It has a real local community vibe. Plus, they charge a very reasonable amount for the cappuccino & my kid gets a babyccino on the house. Also, all the pastries are tasty. & also! They have skim milk for my coffee. No one around here has it anymore.

Coffee is pretty good. But that's all that is good about this place. The barista serving you is not friendly & does not smile. Ruins the whole experience. Unfortunately, I won't be back.

Sipping on a cappuccino alone at a neighborhood café in Villeray, Montreal. There's something quietly poetic about sitting at the counter, cradling warmth in a cup, while watching the ballet of baristas in a bustling afternoon. It's moments like these-amid the clatter & whirl of coffee machines-that I find a peaceful solitude, a gentle space to breathe & just be. Here, in the unnoticed corners of the day, life's simple beauties unfold. #CafeReflections #MontrealMoments

Staff was incredibly friendly & my partner said the matcha was one of the best she's had( & she's a matcha addict!) Only disappointment I have is I was hoping to find a nice place to study, but they've covered all the outlets, so I was unable to charge my laptop to keep working. Altogether though, for a coffee date, the place seems perfect.

Coffee is fine, guy behind the counter was blurting out some pretty distasteful jokes to customers as they were lining up. Many seemed annoyed, maybe chill it out... lol

Café Larue & fils is a delightful coffee haven that I stumbled upon recently, & it's safe to say it has become my new favorite spot. The ambiance of the café is cozy & inviting, with a rustic charm that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The coffee here is simply exceptional - rich, aromatic, & brewed to perfection. Whether you're a fan of classic espresso or fancy a more adventurous latte, they have it all, & each cup is made with care & expertise. What really sets this café apart is its mouth-watering selection of pastries & light bites. Everything is freshly made & delicious, perfect for pairing with your coffee. Their croissants are a must-try - flaky, buttery, & just divine! The staff deserves a special mention for their warm & friendly service. They greet everyone with a smile & are always ready to offer recommendations or have a pleasant chat, adding a personal touch to the overall experience. Whether you're looking for a place to relax & unwind with a book, catch up with friends, or simply grab a quick coffee to go, Café Larue & fils is the ideal spot. It's not just a café; it's a little community hub that makes you feel welcome every time.

Nice spot, decent coffee. Not a very big coffee shop, but great if you want quite space with not much noise.

Cute cafe with sunny outdoor seating right in front of the church. I was satisfied with the filter coffee I ordered.
