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.

Service décevant de la part de celui que je présume être le patron. L'attente a été très longue & l'accueil n'était pas particulièrement agréable. Je recommanderais d'explorer les autres endroits à proximité.

Awsome experience. I personally am from the area & wanted to try new coffee places & tried this one. Great ambiance, good food, good coffee & good personnel. My off sea friend gave it a try & absolutely loved it too. I recommend this place if you want a long morning coffee.

What a great cafe to stumble upon. The coffee was brewed to perfect, not bitter at all, to steam oatmilk so precisely too takes loads of practice. I enjoyed a delightfully warm pastry here that had goat cheese & tomato, was flaky & buttery. This cafe is located in the perfect spot right off the lake, great spot to start if you'll be going walking around the old port.

I forgot to leave a review but I suddenly remembered this place 2 weeks later when I was looking through my album. This cafe is absolutely amazing, the coffee was great, soothing, & the croissant was so good too. The guy behind the counter gave me a complimentary pastry because he thought the croissant I ordered was taking too long to prepare (but it was honestly not taking long at all! I was really just chilling & enjoying the cafe's vibe). But it was really sweet & it shows that the people here really cares about their customers ❤? Merci!

Food & ambience are delightful. The owner is funny in both french & english & provides a great experience to all of his customers. All of the pastries have the perfect flakiness to them, 100% recommend to stop here!
