Came here for lunch & really enjoyed it. Got the smoked salmon croissant & wife got the avocado toast. We both loved it & the side potatoes are great as well! Great stop for lunch in old town.
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!

I like to support Ukrainian owned businesses & this one was conveniently located near Notre Dame.
In terms of food & coffee, it was pretty average & didn't match the many other great breakfast spots in Montreal, so I wouldn't return.
I had the vegetarian avocado toast, & felt the bread was a bit soggy - a crustier sourdough would help. The espresso macchiato was very dark roasted & also not my favorite.
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.
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.
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!
