Côte Café comes across as a tiny, charming neighbourhood spot housed in a thoughtfully refurbished carriage house, with a warm, plant filled interior and a relaxed, welcoming vibe that many describe as community oriented. The coffee is repeatedly praised for quality and variety, including rich cappuccino, the Montreal fog, salted peanut butter latte, rose latte, and a range of latte options and matcha, with some noting that hot drinks can be enjoyed iced. Pastries and small bites such as almond croissants, butter croissants, danishes, and spinach and feta pinwheels, along with sandwiches, are frequently praised, and many appreciate the option to sit outside on a pleasant patio or take drinks to go. The service is often highlighted as friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, with staff making guests feel at home and the overall atmosphere described as cute, charming, and inviting, even during busier times. A few reviews mention limited indoor seating, heat in the summer, bees outside, or lines at peak times, but the general sentiment is that Côte Café is a beloved local gem worth returning to, a reliable stop before Mont Royal where one can relax or linger.
Un super petit café dans notre quartier qui en manque tant . Magnifique accueil du proprio. Dog friendly ( le proprio était trop sympa avec Lilly plus bol d eau a l extérieur pour les amis ) des viennoiseries top fraîches. J avais pris un croissant épinard ricotta excellent . Ça fait du bien d avoir un joli endroit a côté du golden square mile. Toujours aussi bon, sympa & beau .
The cappuccino had lots of foam & a rich, full-bodied flavor. The Montreal fog was delicious & perfectly sweet. A cozy café with warm, friendly service
Merci❤?
Community, coffee, & comfort. Côte Café is such a lovely oasis in the heart of the city, building a real community with its laidback atmosphere, popping aesthetic, considerate barristas & of course, its fabulous drinks. A not so hidden gem :) Thank-you Côte!
Très bel endroit joliment décoré qui sert de très bons cafés, chocolats chauds ou encore jus. Vous y trouverez également de bonnes viennoiseries ainsi que des sandwichs pour un petit dej parfait. Les prix sont raisonnables.

Such a cute lil cafe! There is a small seating bench spot for about 2 people inside. I got the almond crossaint, spinach & feta pinwheel, cheese crossaint, montreal fog [london fog with maple syrup], & cinnamon bun latte [winter special]. I do wish the pastries were warm but I also did not ask if it was possible to get it heated up~ Everything was delicious! The spinach & feta pinwheel was my fav~ The barista was also very sweet!
Had the pleasure of stopping by this adorable cafe last week - the coffee was great, the staff were friendly & provided neighbourhood hints to see & enjoy for some tourists that stopped in. Customers seemed genuinely engaged & happy. Heartily & happily recommend.
Excellent little cafe well stocked with Zab & Traffic beans. Ryan, originally from Vancouver, opened this place after moving into the area & finding a lack of good coffee options. They know what they're doing here! A second location is in the works.
Côte Café is a beautiful little escape; tucked away in athoughtfully refurbish historic carriage house. ! The vibe is super relaxed & welcoming, the staff are friendly & knowledgeable, (shout out to Charles). Everything-from the free trade & locally roasted coffee to the decor-feels thoughtful & easygoing. The kind of place you could spend hours at without realizing. Absolutely love it here! Ccafé tucked away in a historic & cleverly refurbished carriage house. Super welcoming, fun staff (shout out to Charles); these guys are clearly passionate about their coffee (free trade partners & local roasters) & epic patisseries. We only had the butter croissant but it may be the best in the city! Stop in & see for yourself!
Small cafe that has indoor & outdoor seatings but you will find a small outdoor seatings nearby where you can enjoy your coffee if you won't find anywhere to sit. I got a flat white which was ok.
Un des plus minuscule café de Montréal, mais comme le dit le vieil adage dans les petits pots les meilleurs onguents, ça vaut le détour pour le charme indéniable de l'endroit & pour sortir hors des sentiers battus...
