Chez Mère Grand is described as a cozy, welcoming cafe in Old Montreal with excellent coffee and freshly baked pastries, with croissants, chocolatines, and lavender scone highlighted by many visitors. Friendly staff and a charming vibe make it a reliable spot for a morning coffee or a leisurely bite. Several reviews note a warm Parisian inspired atmosphere and in house baking, and the location near the lake and the Old Port is frequently praised.

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.
Server spoke English.

Nestled into a cozy corner in old Montreal, this split level cafe caters to tourists & locals alike with kindness, care to detail, & with grace. Food is fresh & the coffee beans can also be purchased by the bag.
If you order an iced cafe latte, you will be pleased to see what patience & care they take to create this refreshing & energy boosting beverage. It's like alcohol mixology & they even use a shaker to chill the espresso, creating a smooth frothy'crema'. All I can say is go.
It's clean.
It's affordable.
Cool layout & atmosphere.
Air conditioned.
Kind bilingual service.

Worth your time & energy to go.
