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.
i really really love this coffee shop 🫶 amazing pastries & sandwiches (the chicken buffalo one was top tier). they have seasonal holiday drinks, which i love to see!! honestly the vibe is so cozy & welcoming, warm atmosphere, great decor… montreal's best coffee shop
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!

feeling blue? stressed? in need of some hydration & loving kindness? Go directly to Cote Cafe. best tea, best vibe, best chillax I had on a very stressful day. will go there first thing next time im in town just to get the day started right.
Great vibe! The people who work there are super friendly. On the pricier side but worth it for the quality. Depending on when you get there, might be a long line.
All if not most of their hot drinks can be changed to ice.
Great location; nice stop before I head home. They are also dog friendly so that's great as well!
This place was incredible. Genuinely one of the best experiences I've had at a coffee shop, especially with service. The nicest barista ever, gave us so many recommendations & overall, just great vibes. The coffee was also really good, & it cost nothing extra for alternative milk which is the first place I have seen do that. Only point off is for the fact we were unable to sit outside because of all the bees, though that is not their fault at all, just something to note because there isn't much seating inside, just one bench. All in all, will be back next time I go to Montreal.
A Hidden Gem in Montréal - Cozy, Delicious, & So Charming!
I stumbled upon Cote Café during a quick stop on my way through the Côte-des-Neiges area, & I'm so glad I did. This place is truly one of the cutest cafés I've ever come across in Montréal. Tucked away just enough to feel like a local secret, the cozy ambiance immediately drew me in. Warm wood accents, minimalistic decor, & soft lighting give it that perfect blend of modern & homey. You can tell a lot of care has gone into crafting the vibe.
I ordered a cappuccino & it was fantastic. The coffee itself was rich & well-balanced, with a unique & refreshing layer. It wasn't overpowering at all; just enough to make you stop & say,'Wow, that's different - in the best way.'
I also picked up a spinach danish roll, which was flaky, warm, & packed with flavor. It had just the right amount of filling & a buttery, golden crust that practically melted in my mouth. Fresh, satisfying, & clearly made with quality ingredients.
The staff was friendly & welcoming, even though I was just popping in quickly. It's the kind of place where you could just as easily sit for hours reading or working as you could grab something on the go.
Overall, Cote Café has earned a spot on my list of Montréal must-visits. Whether you're in the neighborhood or just passing through, it's absolutely worth a stop. Highly recommend!
What a lovely, lovely café! The space itself is so warm, inviting, & relaxing to the spirit. I was happy the customer before me took some time to give his order so I could take a moment to sit & just enjoy being in that space. It gave me time to look around & appreciate the ambiance. The super cute tables outside, the plants inside, the eclectic & grounding feel of the place just makes you wanna sit there, maybe read a book, & enjoy your coffee. The service was top quality. The only bummer to my experience is that the matcha latte was so good I finished it fast, ha! Will definitely go back & most definitely recommend! That café is a VIBE. Thanks Charles for the delicious beverage & for setting up such a vibrant coffee shop!
