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.

Chez Mère Grand is the kind of coffee shop you stumble into once & immediately vow to return.

The space itself is very cozy & offers a nice escape from the busy bustling streets outside. The baristas are genuinely knowledgeable & incredibly friendly. & the pastries? Made fresh in house daily & literally so so good. We were especially fond of the croissants & lavender & apricot scones, which struck a perfect balance of delicate flavor & melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Literally we loved this Cafe so much that we ended up visiting every single day we were in Montreal. Overall, this place is a true gem that we highly, highly recommend.

Très déçue de cet endroit.
Je suis étudiante & j'étudie souvent à la bibliothèque des archives juste en face de ce petit café. Je suis venue hier pour la première fois prendre un sandwich & un café, & j'ai été super bien reçu par un des employés. Seulement, en revenant ce matin j'ai croisé le patron & il a été exécrable à mon égard. Alors j'ignore si c'est par rapport à mon jeune âge ou le fait que j'étais un peu malade mais il m'a extrêmement mal parlé me mettant presque à la porte alors que j'étais en plein cours en ligne. Café à fuir, café pas très bon en plus. Déçue, cela aurait pu être mon endroit quotidien. Bon courage à ses employés !

I'd give it ten stars if I could. What a magical Cafe experience! The best croissant I have ever had. The coffee was delicious. Colin was truly the best. I look forward to our next visit.

Nous avons apprécié faire nos petits déjeuners au Café Mère Grand. Tout est sympa & tranquille, le lieu, l'ambiance, les employés, les produits proposés sont de qualité. Même le patron, qui a changé le nom du'café Americano' en'Canadiano', eh oui super taxe US oblige ...

Pranzo veloce a Montreal, ambiente molto carino, curato e pulito. I baristi veramente gentili. Croissants salati e paste dolci ottime
