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.

We stopped by for brunch & it was so lovely. Smoked meat grilled cheese, scone, croissant & coffee were all delicious. The owner was upbeat & very nice. The cafe is also adorable! Highly recommend this place!

It was a pretty hot day in Montreal, but it was the warmth of Chez Mére Grand that drew me in. This quaint little cafe in Rue Berri had lots of charm, from the branding to the interior decor. The gentleman who served me was so friendly, & he really made my visit nice. Due to the weather I was looking for something chilled, & so he crafted an off-script iced moka that hit the spot. It's too bad I'm only passing through town, because this cafe's quiet charm & warmth would have me coming back time & time again.

Excellent place to have a latte & croissant. Almond ones were so good. My husband & I ate there each morning this past week while we were in Montreal. Owner even remembered our order. So nice!!

Première visite à ce commerce de la rue Berri. Même avant de passer le pas de la porte, nous savions que notre bref arrêt du midi serait agréable & nous n'avons pas été déçus. Le service est affable & courtois & le choix de sandwichs très satisfaisant. La douceur du scone aux canneberges a superbement satisfait notre dent sucrée. On approuve & on y retourne sans hésitation !

Super cute cafe with a very friendly owner. Everything on the menu is good, but especially the lavender matcha. Google hours seem to be a bit inaccurate, though.

Cute cafe with the patisseries. We ordered ice matcha with lavender syrup & another one with maple syrup. The lavender one is aromatic. Both are nice but the sense of matcha is not that strong. The croissant with almond cream & apricot jam is so tasty. The outdoor seats are so chill, good for sitting & sipping.

The best pastries in town. Highly recommend getting the grilled cheese & the chocolate croissant.
