Review Summary

Chez Mère Grand is widely praised as a charming, cozy destination near the Old Port, celebrated for its high-quality coffee, fresh house-made pastries, and inviting atmosphere. Many patrons describe the shop as a hidden gem, highlighting the delicious croissants, scones, and thoughtful decor that evoke a sense of being in a small village cafe. While the majority of visitors experience exceptional hospitality and friendly service from the staff and proprietor, a notable subset of reviews reports inconsistent interactions, specifically regarding rigid menu policies and occasional dismissive behavior from management, which can lead to polarizing experiences for customers.

Excellent customer service from the gentleman who was on duty yesterday. I definitely recommend the croissant , very delicious & crispy😋but I must say that the waitresses should be been a bit more discreet with their conversation specifically when it's loud in this charming & quiet café,that s the reason why I put 3 stars for the ambiance.

I am visiting from Ontario & Mère-Grand was excellent. Colin was incredibly friendly & welcoming. The cold brew was perfect & the ambiance & music was very well curated. 5/5 would recommend stopping here. Just a 3 minute walk from the Old Port.

Service décevant de la part de celui que je présume être le patron. L'attente a été très longue & l'accueil n'était pas particulièrement agréable. Je recommanderais d'explorer les autres endroits à proximité.

Awsome experience. I personally am from the area & wanted to try new coffee places & tried this one. Great ambiance, good food, good coffee & good personnel. My off sea friend gave it a try & absolutely loved it too. I recommend this place if you want a long morning coffee.

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.
