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.

Delicious croissants & wonderfully warm service. The owner was very sweet with my little ones & makes a superb lavender latte 👌🏽 We spent two days in Montreal & ate breakfast here both mornings because it was that incredible! Would highly recommend stopping by if in the area.

This has become a regular stop on our visits to Montréal. It is a delightful spot, with friendly & charming hosts who always welcome us warmly. The drinks are perfectly created, whether hot or cold, & the treats to accompany them are always imaginative & tasty. On this visit we tried & greatly enjoyed their unique grilled cheese. This isn't your average grilled cheese. It's a perfectly grilled masterpiece with a most creamy & delicious cheese & some equally tasty smoked meat. A real treat that I'd recommend highly! So happy there's such a place.

We tried many different cafes in Montreal during our 5 day stay & this was my absolute favourite! Great lattes, extremely friendly service & peaceful & unique ambiance. The croissant was more like a cornetto but it was freshly baked & didn't take away from the experience. Would highly recommend!

i absolutely adore this place - the service is lovely & all the employees are such wonderful people. the vibes & atmosphere is immaculate & it’s a smaller, quieter cafe amazing for catching up with people. the baked goods are what makes this place so fantastic & i would highly recommend the ham & cheese croissant.
