CHAT COLATE comes across as a cozy cat themed cafe in the Old Port, with charming cat paraphernalia, vintage touches, and a warm, friendly vibe that makes the space feel welcoming even when it is busy. Ice cream and sorbet are praised for texture and depth, with classics well balanced and seasonal flavors adding variety, while hot chocolate is described as comforting and not overly sweet. A range of sweets such as crepes and waffles are mentioned, and there are dairy free options for those who need them. Prices are often noted as a bit high, and a few reviews mention inconsistent hours that don’t always match posted times, which can be frustrating for planning. The shop is small and lively with seating packed together, offering a lively atmosphere but limited privacy. Some comments address cleanliness and the lack of an on site restroom, though service is generally warm and efficient. Overall, the place feels charming, cat friendly, and a solid pick for dessert lovers and cat enthusiasts.
I can't say enough good things about this gem of an ice cream shop! This is absolutely not a tourist trap-it's a small, artisanal spot run with genuine passion & talent where locals flock to for a nice treat during the day or for an after dinner stroll. The owner is a trained pastry chef who studied under none other than Christian Faure, & it shows in everything she makes, from the beautifully crafted ice creams to the delicate cookies & refreshing granitas.
The prices are in line with the rest of Montreal which comes as a good surprise, especially when you're getting real, quality ingredients & handcrafted desserts by a trained pastry chef.
The shop has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, & you can tell a lot of care goes into everything. Local or tourist, if you appreciate quality & love desserts made with heart & talent, this place is a must-visit!
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.

Super cute cat-themed cafe with interesting decor & good hot chocolate. Only downside is not much seating, so you're often out of luck for a spot to stay awhile.
Nous sommes tombés par hasard sur cette boutique offrant du café & du chocolat chaud. La décoration est géniale avec des chats partout. C'est original & agréablement bien agencé. 3 petites tables pour consommer sur place, il y a une petite terrasse extérieure donnant sur la rue mais moins agréable. Je retournerai assurément

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!!
Lovely place! Cozy atmosphere with lots of interesting cat miscellaneous. I've recently moved to Montreal & was craving sweet crepes when I came across Chat-Colate. Of course, I ordered the "Fiesta" crepe (it seems to be the most ordered sweet there) that comes with banana, strawberry, Nutella, whipping cream & vanilla ice cream. I must say: it was delicious! They also have ice cream, & coffee for those looking for a lighter after-meal dessert/drink. Just be aware it's a small shop, so I assume it must be a bit difficult to find a place to sit during busy hours. Anyway, I highly recommend it!
CHAT-COLATE is a really nice place to enjoy a coffee or ice cream. The design of the shop is unique, & they offer a lot of interesting products. Unfortunately, during our visit, we were less lucky as something happened, & water was dripping from the ceiling near the tables, making it difficult to sit & enjoy our coffee. However, we still appreciated the atmosphere & hope they've fixed the issue.
