Café St Barth comes across as a bright, inviting brunch spot with a charming atmosphere and a wide, well presented menu. Reviews consistently praise the cafe for beautiful decor, a friendly and attentive staff, and a space that works well for studying or catching up with friends. The food often earns praise for freshness and generous portions, with standout items like croffles, eggs Benedict and visually impressive fruit plates; however some dishes receive mixed notes, and a few waffles or hot chocolate are described as not up to expectations. Prices are sometimes viewed as steep for breakfast, and service can be hit or miss during peak times. Still, Café St Barth is repeatedly described as a beloved, reliable destination for breakfast and brunch with great drinks and strong ambience.
I'm so glad we stopped here for breakfast! The latte was the best I had in Montréal. So smooth, rich,perfect ammount of lavender flavor & perfectly made. I also loved the atmosphere. They offer discounts to college students, so the café was full of students working & collaborating, which gave the place such a lively & hip vibe. It made me nostalgic for my own college days! Our breakfast was delightful. My partner ordered the waffle, whcuh was actually three little waffles so cutely presented & came with a generous serving of fresh fruit & delicious whipped cream/maple syrup. Of course, I had to take a bite. I had the avocado toast with eggs, which was more like guacamole toast, but it was flavorful & satisfying. The waitstaff was friendly & attentive. I'd definitely recommend this spot for a cozy, delicious start to your day in Montréal!
Great food & service. We ordered the Eggs Benny & the Feta Avocado toast based on our server's recommendation & they were both spectacular! highly recommend

Nothing stands out but nothing is off either. Good when indecisive, but be prepared to wait for the bill - not the food. Lox & avocado toast is tasty but a bit messy to eat.
Café St-Barth charms with its simple, elevated approach to breakfast. Alex, the owner, focuses on quality over flash, delivering standout dishes like scrambled eggs that defy physics, the colorful fruit salad, & a Montreal bagel toasted just right to highlight its chewy center. &, don't miss the home baked scones! The real magic, though, comes from Meggy & owner Alex who make you feel welcome like a long lost friend. Food is unpretentious & the highest quality, super fresh, in an atmosphere that turns a morning meal into a welcoming ritual. This is breakfast, on repeat . New York would be honored to have a St. Barth location.
Service was great & the food was delicious. I ordered the French toast & had the sauces on the side as a dip. The place can get quite loud. The homeless camp on the opposite side of the street so if you're facing the windows you get the view of people passed out in the street with their pants barely hanging on while you eat your breakfast. Completely understand that there's nothing that they can do about that but it does take away from the meal.

My friends & I had brunch here last weekend. We loved how fresh our food tasted. I had the vegan avocado toast & iced oat milk latte; they were both delicious. It is an aesthetically cute cafe, especially with the accents of nature throughout the place.
Amazing breakfast spot! The food was delicious, especially the waffles, avocado toast, & bagels. The staff was friendly & the atmosphere was cozy. Highly recommend
What you see in this photo is what they call "avocado toast classic" like 1/4 avocado with all kinds of leaves but just one of each in two un toasted peaces of bread, the egg poorly seasoned cooked & served, so disappointing

Nice interior, but food underwhelming. Unbuttered dry toast, hashbrowns were very undercooked, took a while to wave down a server because they were chatting behind the counter, & once food was on the table we pretty much didn't exist. Meh.
A lovely & bright brunch cafe near McGill & the plateau. The interior is bright with a classic yet modern ambiance. The tables are small so it is better for 1-2 people rather than large groups as the restaurant is relatively small. We tried the waffles & the French toast. The latter was perfect & of sufficient portion for two. The waffle was a bit like a biscuit in texture so not sure if that was intended or something unusual in the mix. The presentation was beautiful & the service was friendly. The menu has options to satisfy a variety of vegetarian options in both savour & sweet.
Super friendly as soon as we walked in. Both the St. Barth Benny (Smoked Salmon) & the Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast were delicious, we would also recommend the Wild Berry Blast Smoothie. The service was quick considering how busy it was. & the staff were very nice. Part of our order was messed up but they more than made up for it. If we return to Montreal we will be back!
I didn't understand the hype around this place; my friend brought me there for my birthday. The food is so overpriced. The waffle are really dense with a hard texture. They didn't even bring toast with my eggs & the portions were so small...
