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.

Great food, extremely friendly host, amazing atmosphere. This place is a gem. Get the grilled cheese with smoked meat. Croissants are also top notch. Coffee was perfection.

The cafe was across from our hotel & we were so happy that we stumbled upon it our first morning. The cafe is adorable & so inviting. The food was amazing. The drinks even better. The gentleman work possibly the owner was friendly & helpful with suggestions. I loved the London Fog with lavender. Should seek out if in the area.

I still dream of this lovely morning. Fantastic croissants, friendly service, & such a warm, welcoming spot with the dried flowers & open kitchen area to hear the sound of bakery prep as you enjoy a hot drink & croissant on a great collection of plates!

If you're visiting Montreal, Chez Mère Grand is an absolute must-visit. I stumbled upon this charming spot as it was conveniently located right across from my hotel, & it turned out to be a true hidden gem. The ambiance is warm & welcoming, a perfect reflection of the exceptional people who run it. The staff is genuinely some of the best I've ever encountered - friendly, attentive, & clearly passionate about what they do. Their personal touch makes every visit feel special. Everything here is freshly made, & you can tell they invest a lot of time & effort into ensuring the highest quality of not just the food but also the music & the ambiance. It's this attention to detail that makes the experience truly unforgettable. Chez Mère Grand captures the heart of Montreal's hospitality & artistry. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor & make time to stop by-you won't regret it!

After eating here, my partner said "that breakfast was so good I forgot about the outside world." We have been trying to sell our house while on vacation & this is genuinely the only thing that has helped him stop worrying about the sale. The man at the counter was so kind & the food & drinks were incredible. Thank you!
