Reviews consistently highlight Café Névé for excellent coffee and delicious cookies, with the chocolate chip cookie singled out as a star and the grilled cheese croissant also earning praise. The space is described as cozy and intimate, with plenty of light and tables that work for studying or catching up with friends, and the atmosphere is often noted as friendly and welcoming. A wide selection of coffee beans to take home from different roasteries is mentioned, along with attentive service, though some comments point to slow service during busy times and occasional issues with refunds. The overall vibe ranges from lively and social to quiet and relaxed, and the ambiance can be a bit louder depending on the day. Perks like a free coffee when purchasing a bean bag are noted, and many agree that Café Névé is among the better spots in Montreal for coffee and comfort.
After a small hiking in Mont-Royal, I was looking for a cafe that was opened on the national holiday & found this cafe & give it a try. Love the atmosphere of this cafe, combination between a modern & old architecture. The barista also very friendly & kind to help me with the good milk for my latte based on my preferences. The latte is fresh & light. The cookies is the best, chewy, freshly made & big too. Would need to try their other desserts too in the future when I come back again.

The barista working was very kind, the cookie was freshly baked, & the espresso was delicious. They also have a wide selection of coffee beans to bring home from different roasteries.
J'aime beaucoup le service au comptoir & le niveau de connaissance du personnel. J'aime l'authenticité des lieux également. Toutefois, mon expérience a été mitigée par l'incapacité de l'administration à émettre un remboursement.
If your idea of a good cafe experience is waiting 15 minutes for your coffee only to have the barista forget your order, & then ask you what you wanted initially, & then to insult you as you ask for a refund, then enjoy. For my part, I will patronize the other great cafes in the area. This place used to be wonderful, but it's gone downhill in a big way, sadly.

Pourriez-vous baisser un peu la musique, s'il vous plaît ? C'est dommage qu'elle soit si forte alors que la majorité des étudiants viennent ici pour travailler.
Kezna Dalz's mural'Ne m'oublie pas' stands out as both vibrant & heartbreaking. Its candy-colored palette contrasts powerfully with its message - a tribute to women lost to femicide & domestic violence. The work turns a neighborhood corner into a space of remembrance & awareness, reminding us that beauty & urgency can coexist, & that silence is never an option. #CafeNeve #Montreal
The chocolate chip cookie is the star of the show, the belle of the ball. It straddles the line between undercooked & perfectly cooked, which is ideal. Grilled cheese croissant is decent too, regular croissant is just fine. Nice place to sit & hangout / work.
Definitively one of the best coffee shop in Montreal. The vibe there is super cool, they have tables were you can study & others if want just to enjoy your coffee. I found the place very cosy & intimate. The service is very friendly ! I came for the cookie & it was absolutely delicious. The coffee is also very very amazing. I recommend 100% this place :) also if you buy a bag of coffee you get a free coffee that's pretty cool !
Such an amazing vibe here! The atmosphere is cozy yet lively, perfect for catching up with friends or just enjoying some quiet time. The coffee was absolutely perfect 🫶🏻 smooth, rich, & clearly made with care. You can tell they really know what they're doing here. Definitely one of my new favorite spots in Montreal, can't wait to come back! ❤?
