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.

Nous avons apprécié faire nos petits déjeuners au Café Mère Grand. Tout est sympa & tranquille, le lieu, l'ambiance, les employés, les produits proposés sont de qualité. Même le patron, qui a changé le nom du'café Americano' en'Canadiano', eh oui super taxe US oblige ...

Beautiful little cafe in a convenient location near hotels & Old Port. Baristas are skilled & professional-Jacob & Justine provided great service & made me a delicious coffee. Beans are locally roasted, wide selection of teas. Almond & oat barista quality milks available-unfortunately no vegan or gluten free options available currently. Pastries, sandwiches are made fresh in house. In house syrups as well. Selection of local jams, spices, oils, etc. for purchases-good gifts for tourists. Small terrace outside & plenty of seating inside.

The Chez Mere Grand was such a fantastic jewel in Montreal we stumbled upon while starting our cycling trip. Colin kindly let us store or bikes in the lovely cafe courtyard while we enjoyed our incredible croissants &'Canadianos'. He became our honorary brother! Thank you Colin!

The outside entrance of this cafe looks pretty. Inside is a bit odd with the covered Albert Einstein poster.

I just tried the butter croissant, but it was not my thing.
Sandwiches are made fresh though.

Their croissants & pain au chocolat are absolute heaven! Owner & staff have really great energy too! They made sure we, including our dog, felt welcomed.
