FAME CAFÉ is described as a welcoming, chill spot with warm, inspiring decor and plenty of space to work or relax, offering a wide range of pastries and drinks along with consistently good coffee from cortados to lattes and cappuccinos, plus playful options like apricot matcha and almond lemon cookies. The vibe is lively yet relaxed, with nice music and even live DJ sets on weekends, making it a great place to study, meet friends, or simply hang out. The staff are often praised for being friendly and efficient, though a few reviews note moments when noise or pace can disrupt the mood, and some concerns include pricing for non-dairy milks, extra small latte sizes, and the layout of the restrooms. Overall, FAME CAFÉ comes across as a beloved, stylish neighborhood gem with solid coffee, thoughtful flavors, and a vibe that invites lingering, even as occasional issues arise.
Prices are reasonable when you compare within Mile-End. Cappuccino (the empty cup in the second picture) was fine however we didn't like the concept of Affogato (ice cream & cafe were separated). There're some problems with quality of patisserie products, we didn't try the matcha, but it was quite popular in there. Have a nice day ✌?
Superbe endroit pour prendre une pause café, j'ai essayé leur latte pistache qui était très bien! Il y a aussi des à côté fait sur place chaque jour. Les grains proviennent du torréfacteur Barista.

Delicious almond & lemon cookies. They have fun flavoured drinks like an apricot Matcha. Nice music & ambiance. Lots of natural lighting & big windows to enjoy a nice sunny day.
Great coffee here despite the fact that the staff do not respect patrons time & order & the patrons can be pretentious given the neighborhood. Shame. If they made the ordering more streamlined & people respected one another's time it would be better rating.
I'd give it a 10/5 for atmosphere! Great vibe, good for working, chatting, or just casual ting!
For just a drink it's $1-$10 if you're grabbing anything else it'll be $10-$20
FAME Café is a hidden gem-had a delicious cortado while vibing to great music on an impressive sound system. It's like a mini listening bar tucked inside a cozy café. Warm vibes, quality sound, & top-notch coffee make it a must-visit spot.

I didn't give the low rate, because the first time, with another barista, I was happy & the owner is a nice person.
I ordered a Cortado. The coffee was good, however, it more looked like a Macchiato, in terms of size & quantity of the milk, but the price was more like a Flat White/small Latte that you get from other coffee shops in the neighborhood. The first time that I got a Cortado there, the size was the regular size & when I mentioned that to the barista, she said that I was wrong.
Lieu superbe & convivial ! On est accueilli avec le sourire, & on s'y sent bien. Le quartier est très chouette, & la carte est vraiment bonne d'après ce que j'ai pu tester.
Lovely little spot for a hangout with my daughter. We had both hot & iced lattes which were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was light & chill & the barista was lovely. Apparently they have DJs here on the weekends which I would go back for.
