CHAT-COLATE is widely regarded as a charming, cat-themed destination in the Old Port of Montreal that appeals strongly to animal lovers and dessert enthusiasts alike. Visitors frequently praise the cozy, whimsical atmosphere and the variety of high-quality treats, including artisanal ice cream, sorbet, hot chocolate, and crepes. While many guests describe the staff as warm, patient, and professional, experiences with service and pricing are notably inconsistent across reviews. Some patrons find the offerings to be exceptional value for the quality provided, whereas others express frustration regarding high prices, perceived industrial taste in certain products, and cleanliness issues in seating areas. Despite concerns over operating hours and occasional crowding in the small space, the shop remains a popular spot for those seeking a unique, cat-focused experience with a wide selection of themed merchandise.
Amazing shop! Staff was super sweet & patient with the customers! Tried the raspberry lime sorbet, it was delicious! The latte was also very well made! 10/10 would recommend!
Warm & inviting atmosphere, with different ice cream flavors to choose from. Their nutella crêpes are to die for & their iced latte always hits the spot 🤤
Iced matcha latte with vanilla is SO GOOD. I highly recommend eating inside. Saw some AI art though & was disappointed 😾😿it's very easy to tell so make sure to purchase from the authentic artists!

Un bel écrin… mais la magie n'opère pas tout à fait
On est tout de suite charmé par le décor : lustres élégants, ambiance salon de thé à la parisienne, emplacement de rêve face au port… Mais très vite, on se rend compte que l'expérience ne suit pas vraiment. L'endroit est bruyant, avec un va-&-vient constant, & l'espace semble plus pensé pour la vente rapide que pour une pause gourmande. Les produits dérivés (badges, autocollants...) donnent une impression un peu trop marketing à mon goût.
Autre bémol : l'absence de service à table. Une seule personne gérait le comptoir malgré l'affluence, ce qui ralentit pas mal le service. La terrasse, pourtant bien située, manque clairement d'attention : un peu négligée, sans charme particulier.
Côté glace, le choix de parfums est plutôt limité. J'ai tenté le triple chocolat, mais j'ai été franchement déçue : rien de marquant, ni dans la texture ni dans le goût. En revanche, les gaufres artisanales façon galette avaient l'air appétissantes… Avec le recul, j'aurais peut-être dû opter pour ça !
Bref, une adresse qui en jette au premier regard, mais qui gagnerait à aller un peu plus loin dans la qualité de l'expérience.
After walking around for a while, it is such a rewarding place to stumble upon. Small & quaint space but very well decorated & strategically arranged seats for efficient crowd flow. The staff was very nice & patient.
Got an iced pistachio latté for $10. 💸 It tasted like a regular latté; barely a hint of pistachio. 😐🥲
Lots of stuff to buy with cats on it. Mugs, notebooks, journals, pens, bags & etc. 💞💕
This place is adorable & a must stop for any cat enthusiasts. There is lots of selection of coffees & lattes as well as hard & soft serve ice cream . Not to mention the adorable cat products so sweet
This was our first time visiting, & we really enjoyed the vibe! The cat-themed decor was adorable & cozy, creating a warm & relaxing atmosphere. Both the coffee & matcha latte were very good, & the waffle smelled amazing,we'll definitely try it next time. The little cat-themed gifts were charming, & the overall space was peaceful & inviting. The service was great, & the staff were very kind to us. We truly appreciated the quiet, relaxing time at this café.
This cozy cafe in the heart of le vieux port has a vintage vibe & has endless knickknacks & decor for every car enthusiast. The store mascot is adorable & dashing. The seating is very comfortable to enjoy a cup of coffee alone or with a group. I only saw one outlet should there be a need. The staff were super friendly & proactive in service, even when it got busy. I feel much at ease in an atmosphere where the staff are apparently enjoying their work. I enjoyed the toffee but latte & even the coffee cups were super cute! I loved the attention to detail. Many small items for sale that would make great gifts. Would be happy to drop in again! The only downside was that there is no washroom on site so we had to go a bit down the street to find one.
This is my second time here this week & a new go to spot for a cute little cafe. The second time I came I got a London fog with a croissant & this time I got the iced Cafe latte & both items were just as good as the other. The service was amazing both times & the overall cat theme is a cat lovers paradise. If you're looking for a cute cafe if you live here or are visiting & want souvenirs to take with you this is the place!!
