Review Summary

Reviews describe Chez Mère Grand as a cozy, charming cafe in Old Montreal with outstanding coffee and freshly baked pastries. The croissants, ham and cheese croissants, chocolate croissants, and lavender scones are repeatedly praised, along with standout options like Canadiano, cortados, and cold brew. The in house baking and warm, friendly service contribute to a homey, old world atmosphere with a small terrace and courtyard. The staff and owner are highlighted for bilingual, attentive, and humorous hospitality that makes guests feel welcome and valued, with many mentioning they would return during visits. Some reviews note occasional inconsistencies or a negative encounter and that cash is preferred or payment options can be limited.

My friend brought me here because she loves the place. Coffee was a 10/10 & I still sometimes think about the grilled cheese 🤤 the owner was super friendly as well!

J'adore ce charmant petit lieu super charmant avec sa petite terrasse ! Le gérant est super agréable & les produits sont excellents ! J'adore le cappuccino & j'en ai testé des dizaines dans la ville & celui-ci fait partie de mon top 5. Je vous recommande vivement ce café !

Gorgeous Fabulous Corner Cafe 🌸🌺

The entrance is beautifully designed with floral, located at the corner of a building. Everything about this cafe is carefully designed & sculpted, so much to take in & see. A comfortable place for a day visit, co-working, reading or just people watching. The owner is super welcoming & funny, he is also super passionate & it shows in his excitement to share the day's specialties & hand-crafted coffees.

My boyfriend & I had the grilled cheese, flakey chocolate danish, flat white ☕ & a cold press drink. Spent a brief 30mins absorbing the spectacular space but definitely needed more time. Will be sure to return & try out everything on the menu.

Definitely one of my favorite cafes to capture photos. Enjoy & hope you may find yourself in this captivating place soon.

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.

Je n'ai pas l'habitude de poster des Avis mais là.
Notre séjour à Montréal était court mais nous ne pouvions pas nous passer du brunch chez Mère Grand.
Entre les boissons merveilleuses, la nourriture exceptionnelle, l'ambiance cosy mais surtout le gérant, qui lui est juste génial 😍 (& c'est peut dire).
Bref vraiment allez-y les yeux fermés vous ne pouvez pas être déçu !!!

Loved it here. Great music playing while the owner prepared our coffee & meals.

Watching the barista prepare the coffee was something nice to watch & he was super friendly to speak with while he was doing it.

I had the grilled cheese which was delicious & every seat in the place were pleasant spots to sit. I always like a view of the street.

Hope to come back here someday.

Le meilleur petit déjeuner que nous avons eu à Montréal. Un service irréprochable avec beaucoup d’attention vers le client. Tout était fait maison avec des produits frais & de bonne qualité. Hautement recommandé pour leur croissants & pain au chocolat.

Came to Montreal to visit & this cafe happened to be near my hotel. It was the best chocolate croissant & latte I have ever had. I had to come back a second time on my way out of the city because it was that good!!

Charmant petit café aux portes du Vieux-Montréal. Personnel sympatique. Le grilled-cheese avec smoked-meat est excellent. Seul petit inconvénient; ils n'acceptent que le paiement par débit.
