Thank you, thank you for the kindness & for the delicious oat latte! I appreciate everything about my experience at your charming cafe. My three days in Montréal (coming from Vermont) have been nothing but warm & inviting & the friendly, calm atmosphere (not to mention the yummy food & drink) at the cafe made me feel welcome. Thank you.
Nous sommes tombés sous le charme de ce magnifique café. Les croissants jambon fromage étaient exquis, les cafés incroyables (nous sommes même repartis avec un sac de grains) & que dire de l'ambiance. Le propriétaire était très gentil & a rendu l'expérience agréable! Ça vaut le détour si vous passez dans le coin. ❤?

Eating breakfast & having our coffee here (3/30/2025) & this little café is absolutely exquisite.
For drinks, I had an iced latte with maple syrup & my husband had a long espresso. Both were excellent. My husband enjoyed that the espress was quite strong, & my latte had an excellent flavor.
For food we had ham & cheese croissants, I had a bostock, & my husband had a lavender scone. Again, everything was scrumptious! The ham & cheese croissants (homemade pastry at the café) were a revelation, & my bostock was the best sweet pastry I've had in a very long time. The lavender scone was amazing, with a lovely lavender scent that didn't become a soapy taste on the palate.
The ambience is lovely, with an old-fashioned vibe & an open bakery. The smells of the fresh baked goods wafts over you enticingly as soon as you open the door
To boot, the owner/proprietor is an absolute gem of a human! Funny, personable, helpful, & eager to provide excellent service.
Un café tout cute au coin d'une rue, le propriétaire est super sympathique accueillant, intéressant & de bons conseils ! À deux jours de mon départ, j'ai enfin trouvé mon spot favori in town. Je serais de retour dès que je remettrais le pied en territoire québécois !
Partially eaten scone is proof we could help but scarf down the best croissants I've ever had an a delightful lavender scone. Cortado was smooth & perfectly balanced, & Romain has incredible vibes - it's like walking into the cafe of an old friend who became 10x too cool to know you but is still nice to you because they're just that chill of a person.
My wife & I were visiting Montreal a couple weeks ago & had to come here to enjoy this gem of a cafe because it was mentioned in a recent murder mystery book by Louise Penny called the grey wolf. We enjoyed a grilled cheese sandwich, a BLT, a latte & a flat white & everything was amazing. We were able to sit & relax & enjoy just being there. Talked with the owner for a bit - really friendly & appreciated hearing our story of coming there because of a story. We'll be back. Definitely recommend!
The cafe was across from our hotel & we were so happy that we stumbled upon it our first morning. The cafe is adorable & so inviting. The food was amazing. The drinks even better. The gentleman work possibly the owner was friendly & helpful with suggestions. I loved the London Fog with lavender. Should seek out if in the area.

Petit café vraiment sympathique & joliment décoré avec une bonne sélection de viennoiseries & sandwiches faits sur place (la chocolatine est délicieuse!!) Le latté est aussi excellent! Mon café préféré quand je suis dans le quartier. On peut aussi commander pour emporter. À visiter!
Incroyable découverte ! De visite à Montréal pour quelques jours, un local nous a conseillé cette adresse pour nos petits déjeuners. Au delà des chocolats chauds & autres cafés incroyablement bien préparés, des cookies, croissants & pains au chocolat délicieux qui feraient rougir bien des boulangeries françaises, c'est aussi & surtout l'accueil & la bienveillance du personnel qui tient toutes ses promesses. On s'est régalés & on a passé de superbes moments, comme à la maison, chez Mère Grand. Merci ! On repassera !
