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. Some comments mention occasional busy times, mixed experiences with staff, and practical details such as cash payments and limited vegan or gluten free options. Overall, the place comes across as a beloved local gem with high quality coffee and pastries and a homey feel that invites return visits.
Colin, the proprietor dubs it,'the little village café in the big city.' I agree. It's just around the corner & the service is quick & friendly. They serve the perfect cortado to go. All shots are double, so no need to specify.
Not only did they let Muki in, Colin even gave her three cute little treats (which Muki would only eat once we got home).

You must visit this exceptional place. If you are staying in the Old Port area, make it your own: It's several blocks up from the Clocktower Quai. You will feel like family, &--more soon--revel in the deliciousness. If you're not staying nearby, it's worth special trips. The pastries & sandwiches are out of this world--lavender scone, the best ever. Super high-quality condiments, drink mixes, & sweeteners are available. The ambiance is perfectly old-world charming. The owner & staff are the best. Can't give a high enough rating--thank you, all!
Super cute coffee shop! Unfortunately I arrived just as it was closing but got an iced latte & tea to go! Both were delicious! Service was also excellent!
Premier passage Chez Mère-Grand! La nourriture était excellente, le nouveau propriétaire est super sympathique & la nouvelle cuisinière l'était tout autant! Chapeau :)
