Review Summary

Cafeterra is widely regarded as a charming and cozy destination in Old Montreal, celebrated for its welcoming atmosphere, beautiful decor, and high-quality breakfast and brunch offerings. Many patrons praise the delicious, fresh food, particularly the avocado toast, shakshuka, and diverse selection of pastries and coffees, while also noting the intentional, relaxing environment fostered by the policy against laptop use. Although the majority of visitors experience friendly and attentive service, some guests have expressed dissatisfaction regarding the practice of paying before receiving their orders, occasional inconsistencies in service speed, or rigid seating policies during peak hours. Overall, it remains a highly recommended spot for those looking to enjoy a well-curated dining experience in a peaceful and aesthetic setting.

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.

The food was delicious. The seating area is kind of crammed - good for eating the food but not for eating & talking in a relaxed way.

We had a great experience here. The food was an easy 5 stars, & the atmosphere was great, but I'd give 10 stars to the service if I could. Everyone was beyond kind. We came with our two kids & a stroller, & though it's not designed to be a kid-friendly space, no one made us feel unwelcome, & the staff did their best to help us out (we came at an off-peak time, I would not recommend a stroller during their peak busy times). I will definitely come back, maybe with friends though so I can truly enjoy the atmosphere & food 😆.

Expérience bizarre. Mon amie a commandé un thé & on lui a donné le sachet à la main sans l'eau chaude & j'ai commandé un dirty chai que j'ai du terminé moi même. 11 dollars quand même pour un latte.

Édit: the waitress got to my friend & I while finishing & didn't excuse herself but just explained stuff « it's like that » it was extremely rude & inappropriate. Will not come back.

Following the establishment's official reply (included below), my initial impression is confirmed. The tone is condescending, personal, & unnecessarily aggressive for a professional response. There is no apology, no attempt to understand the customer experience - only justification & personal remarks. Readers can draw their own conclusions.

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.
