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.

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!!!! 🍀🍀
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.
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!

I love this cafe! The beautiful floral entryway & the aesthetic is gorgeous! The owner was such a gem making sure we were taken care of & satisfied with the food & service. I highly recommend you check this place out!
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.
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.
Moved in down the street about a year ago, & this was the first place I went. The owner, who is here every day, was very welcoming, & is a great guy. I am learning French, & every time I come in, he practices with me a bit. He makes amazing coffee, juices, & food. I especially recommend the hot americano or allongé, & appreciate that he doesn't offer a saturated amount of iced or artificial options like you would get at Starbucks. The atmosphere is really amazing, feels very comfortable & inviting, & I especially love the music. Once again, I want to emphasize how great the owner is, & it's respectable that he runs his business the way he wants, rather than jumping onto quick dying trends. I come here all the time with my boyfriend, & will always 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.
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!
