Cafeterra earns praise for warm, friendly staff, a welcoming vibe, and consistently delicious food and coffee, making it a favorite for brunch and casual cafe visits in Old Montreal. The menu features healthy, flavorful options like Norwegian and Ukrainian breakfasts, avocado toast, pastries, and well crafted coffees, with many noting generous portions and quality ingredients. While some visits highlight attentive service and thoughtful details, a few comments point to slower service during busy times and occasional inconsistencies, yet the overall experience remains highly rated with frequent returns. The cozy, stylish decor and calm atmosphere, sometimes accented by soft jazz, create a relaxing setting that appeals to both locals and guests.
C'est un petit café très joli, situé dans le Vieux-Montréal. L'ambiance est chaleureuse & l'atmosphère est vraiment agréable, idéale pour faire une pause pendant la promenade. Le service m'a semblé excellent, avec un accueil attentionné & courtois.
J'ai goûté au chocolat chaud &, même s'il était correct, il manquait un peu de corps & de saveur de chocolat; le goût du cacao n'était pas très prononcé, mais c'est quelque chose qui pourrait facilement être amélioré.
Dans l'ensemble, c'est un très bon endroit pour s'arrêter & se réchauffer un peu en se promenant dans le Vieux-Montréal, surtout pendant les journées froides.
La comida es deliciosa, probamos una pasta al pesto de pollo y un par de sándwiches extraordinarios. El café late exquisito y un té de cranberry buenísimo. La atención es rápida y con gran actitud ambas chicas, sigan así y que crezca el negocio.

Awesome little cafe! Cafe latte & Matcha Late are fantastic. It's was nice that the large hot drinks were actually large!Enjoyed the shakshuka & Ukrainian Breakfast. The raspberry & white chocolate scone was excellent! The raspberry crumble cake was unbelievably good!
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 !
Cafeterra is the cutest classy place on Notre Dame. The food was amazing & the coffee was delicious. Great atmosphere & great service. I highly recommended.
We are visiting Montreal for the weekend & stopped in for lunch. What a sweet little cafe! It was quite busy when we arrived & we were seated at a small table but as soon as another table opened up we were offered a spot that fit our family of four more comfortably. The atmosphere was great & the service & food was amazing!

Cafeterra was the perfect spot for brunch with friends in Old Montreal. We loved the warm atmosphere & the delicious brunch menu. The staff were welcoming & attentive, which made the experience even bette
This café in Montreal instantly won my heart. It's spotless clean, cozy, & filled with pleasant music that makes you want to stay longer. The staff are incredibly kind & welcoming, & the service is quick & efficient.
The coffee is truly amazing - rich, smooth, & comforting, just like at home. The food is fresh & delicious, especially the avocado toast with salmon & the almond croissant. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Montreal. & the nicest surprise of all - it's run by Ukrainians, which made the visit even more special. 💛💙
Wonderful cafe right next to downtown Montreal! It has a peaceful atmosphere & is always cozy, clean, & comfortable-perfect for spending time with friends. The menu is quite varied, with a great selection of coffee drinks. Whether you're stopping by in the morning or coming for lunch, it's a great spot.
My absolute favorite is the Norwegian breakfast with salmon, avocado, & scrambled eggs. If you're more into bacon & sausages, the Ukrainian breakfast would be a great match. The staff is always nice & helpful.
Highly recommend this place-have a great time while visiting Montreal!
My self & husband & our 2 friends Visited this beautiful cafe this morning after arriving from Australia thank you very much for such a great service & the food was amazing keep up the great service
We had high hopes for Cafeterra but unfortunately, our experience fell short. The space is charming, but the food & service were inconsistent & left much to be desired. The London Fog lacked flavor-very mild & underwhelming. The pesto pasta looked pale & tasted just as bland, with the texture leaning toward overcooked as it practically dissolved with every bite.
Dishes came out at completely different times, & one croissant didn't arrive until nearly 20 minutes after the rest of the food. We had to stand up & ask about it after waiting 25 minutes with no update, & the staff at the counter showed no concern or apology-just a casual'it got missed.' The lack of customer service from the counter staff was disappointing, with no greeting or friendliness at all.
The salads were also underdressed-felt like eating plain lettuce. The avocado toast with shrimp was decent (7/10), but still missing a flavorful punch. The croissant, when it finally came, was actually quite good (8/10) & came with a tasty sauce.
To their credit, our server-a young woman-was fast, helpful, & the one saving grace of the visit. She apologized multiple times & even brought over three macaroons as a gesture, which was appreciated. Still, the overall experience had already been affected.
Unfortunately, this visit was a miss, & I wouldn't return. Hopefully, the management addresses the service gaps & consistency in food quality going forward
