What a great cafe to stumble upon. The coffee was brewed to perfect, not bitter at all, to steam oatmilk so precisely too takes loads of practice. I enjoyed a delightfully warm pastry here that had goat cheese & tomato, was flaky & buttery. This cafe is located in the perfect spot right off the lake, great spot to start if you'll be going walking around the old port.
Great cafe with really good coffee & pastries. I really recommend their Canadiano! We really enjoyed our time here. Definitely will come back. Thank you so much again!!!! 🍀🍀
I forgot to leave a review but I suddenly remembered this place 2 weeks later when I was looking through my album. This cafe is absolutely amazing, the coffee was great, soothing, & the croissant was so good too. The guy behind the counter gave me a complimentary pastry because he thought the croissant I ordered was taking too long to prepare (but it was honestly not taking long at all! I was really just chilling & enjoying the cafe's vibe). But it was really sweet & it shows that the people here really cares about their customers ❤? Merci!
Food & ambience are delightful. The owner is funny in both french & english & provides a great experience to all of his customers. All of the pastries have the perfect flakiness to them, 100% recommend to stop here!
Chez Mère Grand is the kind of coffee shop you stumble into once & immediately vow to return.
The space itself is very cozy & offers a nice escape from the busy bustling streets outside. The baristas are genuinely knowledgeable & incredibly friendly. & the pastries? Made fresh in house daily & literally so so good. We were especially fond of the croissants & lavender & apricot scones, which struck a perfect balance of delicate flavor & melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Literally we loved this Cafe so much that we ended up visiting every single day we were in Montreal. Overall, this place is a true gem that we highly, highly recommend.
Très déçue de cet endroit.
Je suis étudiante & j'étudie souvent à la bibliothèque des archives juste en face de ce petit café. Je suis venue hier pour la première fois prendre un sandwich & un café, & j'ai été super bien reçu par un des employés. Seulement, en revenant ce matin j'ai croisé le patron & il a été exécrable à mon égard. Alors j'ignore si c'est par rapport à mon jeune âge ou le fait que j'étais un peu malade mais il m'a extrêmement mal parlé me mettant presque à la porte alors que j'étais en plein cours en ligne. Café à fuir, café pas très bon en plus. Déçue, cela aurait pu être mon endroit quotidien. Bon courage à ses employés !
I'd give it ten stars if I could. What a magical Cafe experience! The best croissant I have ever had. The coffee was delicious. Colin was truly the best. I look forward to our next visit.
Nous avons apprécié faire nos petits déjeuners au Café Mère Grand. Tout est sympa & tranquille, le lieu, l'ambiance, les employés, les produits proposés sont de qualité. Même le patron, qui a changé le nom du'café Americano' en'Canadiano', eh oui super taxe US oblige ...
