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. Overall, Chez Mère Grand is seen as a must visit for quality coffee, top notch pastries, and a charming neighborhood vibe that draws locals and travelers alike.

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!

Cute & friendly spot for baked goods & coffee. The lavender scone is especially good. Croissants are pillowy soft & flaky.

Walking to Old Port & I discover this cute café. I asked the barista what he recommended, & he suggested the ham & cheese croissant. It didn't disappoint. I was delicious! It's near an intersection & hotel, so there are a lot of people that come in & out. I love the French style feel of the décor.

J'ai passé un excellent moment 😀
Le croissant & latté, un delice !!
Le cadre est trop chouette & on si sent bien de suite. Je d'ailleurs bu un deuxième latté !
Un grand merci pour votre accueil & gentillesse.

J'suis passé en bike, pis j'me suis fait pogner par les reviews en ligne - ben déçu. Le latté avait l'air beau, mais cr*** qu'y'était chaud ! Tellement que j'pouvais même pas y goûter. Pas pro pantoute, pis en plus c'est dangereux. La bouffe ? Rien d'extra : un ti croissant avec une tranche de fromage pis deux mini tranches de jambon - 11,50 $ ? Come on, c'est ben trop cher pour c'que c'est. Pis y'prennent même pas la carte. C'est clair que j'reviens pas icitte.
