Chez Mère Grand

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.

Everyone should come visit Chez Mère-Grand Café & Épicerie!

I got a scone & it was very dry, as if it had been made days ago & not stored properly. I also got the smoked salmon bagel, I had been made the day before or few days ago. The salmon slices were dry on the edges, the crème cheese was dried out & the cucumber looked like it was out of date. For the price, I expected better. The coffee is good though.

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.

You must visit this exceptional place. If you are staying in the Old Port area, make it your own: It's several blocks up from the Clocktower Quai. You will feel like family, &--more soon--revel in the deliciousness. If you're not staying nearby, it's worth special trips. The pastries & sandwiches are out of this world--lavender scone, the best ever. Super high-quality condiments, drink mixes, & sweeteners are available. The ambiance is perfectly old-world charming. The owner & staff are the best. Can't give a high enough rating--thank you, all!

Cute & friendly spot for baked goods & coffee. The lavender scone is especially good. Croissants are pillowy soft & flaky.

So cute & the people were so nice. The scone was the best I've had. Bring cash because they don't usually accept international cards.

The gentleman told me I was going to eat the best cheddar scone I would ever consume. He was correct.
