Across the reviews, Café Replika is seen as a cozy, welcoming spot with solid coffee, a friendly, approachable staff, and an atmosphere that works for studying, meeting friends, or just chilling, though some drinks vary in taste and consistency. The menu features a range of options from hojicha latte and matcha to decaf cappuccino, plus treats like borek and cookies, all described as fresh and well made, with helpful recommendations from the team. The space is noted for its calm, thoughtful decor and plant life, with a vibe that can be lively yet intimate, and the location is considered a reliable neighborhood cafe in Montreal that draws a regular crowd; occasional notes about tasteless filtered coffee or drinks that miss the mark are balanced by overall positive impressions and a sense of community.
Brought my golden retriever Biscuit here last Saturday & was thrilled to find a genuinely welcoming spot where dogs are actually encouraged, not just tolerated. The staff brought out a little bowl of water for him without us even asking, which instantly won us over. I had the croque monsieur & it was honestly one of the better ones I've had in the city, nice & crispy with a good amount of cheese. If you're a dog owner hunting for a place to settle in for a couple hours on a weekend morning, Café Replika is exactly what you're looking for.
This coffee shop is not a safe place. My husband & I have been loyal customers for many months, but our recent experience shook us. Today, my husband politely asked another customer to share the couch space, mentioning that I am pregnant. Instead of cooperating, the man complained & was overly aggressive, using profanity F word to me & my husband Loudly multiple times & cursing at both of us.
We sought help from the manager, who did nothing to address the situation. The other customer escalated the conflict further, challenging my husband & creating a hostile environment ...which led me to call the police for assistance.
Even worse, the manager, Amanda, told me it was useless to involve the police & stayed there just doing nothing saying nothing, without even considering her own responsibility to take action to provide a safe space. Her response made it clear that she was dismissing the need for help to prevent the situation from escalating further. It's alarming that this establishment fails to provide a safe environment for women & pregnant individuals & tolerates disrespectful behavior without intervention. We are very disappointed in how this was handled.
Never going back again; it's too bad they lost loyal clients due to their inability to provide a safe & respectful atmosphere.

J'ai eu du plaisir dans l'ambiance juste parfaite pour prendre un hojicha latte & écrire en écoutant la bonne musique meublée avec des conversations de fond.
Un endroit charmant qui propose une cuisine avec des produits frais de qualité, on s'est régalées avec le borek & cookie avoine peanut. Grandes variétés de boissons & excellents conseils de l'équipe. On recommande!
I had a regular filtered coffee there on Friday July 4th & I found it to be tasteless. Teally coloured water. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because the service was very personable. I neighbourhood cafe for sure but their filtered coffee is to avoid.

Great coffee here & compare to other cafes the coffee here is more robust & with flavors while others nearby that I've tried are rather weak in comparison.
Ordered Hojicha & a peanut cookie which were both delicious, was the perfect location for studying in! Surprisingly busy for a Monday afternoon but then again I can see why.
