Absolutely amazing place!! Stunning interior with wonderful artwork. Incredible coffee & pastries!!! We will definitely be back!!
P.S. We are back again in this absolutely fantastic place! This time we had their brunch. It was something incredible!! The Norwegian & Ukrainian breakfasts were absolutely amazing!! & as for the homemade lemonade- you have to try it!! I highly recommend this absolutely amazing coffee shop!!
P.S. We were very pleasantly surprised that there is a ban on the use of computers here!! There is a lot of space for those who want to enjoy the atmosphere, read or have a lively conversation 🤗🤩😋
Malgré les excellents avis, nous avons choisi cet endroit pour le brunch & malheureusement, nous avons été déçus car la nourriture était très ordinaire & ne justifiait pas du tout les prix élevés.
La portion était très petite & le service maladroit ; par exemple, il n'y avait ni sel ni poivre sur la table, ni serviettes en papier.
La quantité de nourriture était si faible qu'une demi-heure plus tard, nous avions de nouveau faim.
Incredible! Wonderful team, friendly customer service & most importantly ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS FOOD & DRINKS.
They definitely know what they are doing! Highly recommend. Also the space itself is beautiful & cozy. The best coffee shop & brunch spot in old Montreal for sure.
Cafeterra is a gem among the restaurants & cafes here. It's a small & upscale place with exceptionally well prepared & tasty food. Their pastries are delightful as well!
The coffees are masterfully prepared - seriously. The mugs, cups & stemware are very fun as well & elevate the experience.
It's best for daytime meals including brunch. I've been coming here for years as a special treat with friends & family. It's first come, first serve for seating, so if you have a larger group it may be tough at peak hours.
I'll keep coming back for sure!

The brunch menu & pastry selection were both very enjoyable. The avocado toast & shakshuka had great flavor, & we really liked the overall food experience. The only area that could use improvement is the service. After finishing our main dishes, we ordered pastries to enjoy at the table. Shortly after, a large group arrived, & the manager approached us to ask when we would be done, as they needed to accommodate the incoming guests. We let her know we were already planning to leave before finishing the pastries, but the interaction felt rushed.
It would be helpful if the staff allowed guests to finish their visit without feeling pressured to vacate the table, even during busy periods. A more discreet or courteous approach-or offering an alternative solution-would make the dining experience feel more welcoming & relaxed.
I just had a breakfast at cafeterra , it is a delightful brunch spot with a warm, modern vibe & beautifully crafted dishes that feel both comforting & elevated. The Norwegian breakfast was a standout, light, healthy , & perfectly balanced & the coffee was smooth & rich. Friendly service & thoughtful details made the whole experience feel special.
I highly recommend this place for a good brunch !

We came here during a conference & had a great experience. Everything is made to order, tasty, & artfully presented. We especially liked the salmon avocado toast. When friends came to visit us here a few days later this is where we brought them for brunch.
Really good café to grab something quick & light. Their beverages & dishes are well prepared, & their ingredients taste fresh.
The atmosphere is perfect for a relaxed brunch or to work with a nice coffee. Both the salad & the avocado toast we ordered were just perfect in terms of portions & flavor.
