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!
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.

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.
The Chez Mere Grand was such a fantastic jewel in Montreal we stumbled upon while starting our cycling trip. Colin kindly let us store or bikes in the lovely cafe courtyard while we enjoyed our incredible croissants &'Canadianos'. He became our honorary brother! Thank you Colin!
Wonderful experience! The chocolate croissant & ham & cheese croissant were perfectly done! Our drinks were also fantastic. Last thing, the staff & environment are lovely. Highly recommend!

Their croissants & pain au chocolat are absolute heaven! Owner & staff have really great energy too! They made sure we, including our dog, felt welcomed.
Our weekend away with friends was made even sweeter by waking up to a delicious coffee & yummy croissant, served by the awesome Colin! It felt like we were in someone's kitchen! Started our day there all 3 days! Highly recommend!
Walking to Old Port & I discover this cute café. I asked the barista what he recommended, & he suggested the ham & cheese croissant. It didn't disappoint. I was delicious! It's near an intersection & hotel, so there are a lot of people that come in & out. I love the French style feel of the décor.
J'ai passé un excellent moment 😀
Le croissant & latté, un delice !!
Le cadre est trop chouette & on si sent bien de suite. Je d'ailleurs bu un deuxième latté !
Un grand merci pour votre accueil & gentillesse.
J'suis passé en bike, pis j'me suis fait pogner par les reviews en ligne - ben déçu. Le latté avait l'air beau, mais cr*** qu'y'était chaud ! Tellement que j'pouvais même pas y goûter. Pas pro pantoute, pis en plus c'est dangereux. La bouffe ? Rien d'extra : un ti croissant avec une tranche de fromage pis deux mini tranches de jambon - 11,50 $ ? Come on, c'est ben trop cher pour c'que c'est. Pis y'prennent même pas la carte. C'est clair que j'reviens pas icitte.
i love this place so much. the café itself is beautiful & the food is always consistently incredible. i've been going there for years & it's still my favourite café in the city. the owner is super friendly & gives top notch service every single time. i definitely recommend! their croissant sandwiches, they are superb as well as their coffee which is made with care. & their desserts are on another level! can't wait to come back.
