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.
Première & dernière fois hélas… presque 15 minutes d'attente pour un thé glacé avec une seule personne devant moi. Serveur gentil & poli mais lent & désorganisé. Le comble : plus de 4$ pour un thé glacé qui est en fait un sachet de thé classique dans de l'eau du robinet avec des glaçons.
Extrêmement décevant…
I can't believe I'm saying this but this cafe is modelled after the book 1984 - it appears the owners watch you on the security camera & if they notice you with a laptop, they will ask you to remove it. This is super creepy, & I'm confused how these business people have the time & energy to people-watch so that they can apparently control the flow of customers as if it's McDonald's.
The crazy thing is, they ultimately end up losing a lot of money in the long run by alienating their customer base, especially the regulars who account for consistent monthly cash flow. If you just do some napkin math & you have 20 regulars spending $10, 10x per month - that's $2k/month is just thrown out.
Really baffling, as this was once a cool cafe but has become uncomfortable. Oh well, there's many excellent cafes around here to switch to. I just never thought I would have to be worried about surveillance spying from a cafe lol.
Super café pour venir travailler ou simplement se détendre, ils proposent une large gammes de viennoiseries & de boissons, le personnel est très gentil, accueillant & arrangeant.
L'ambiance est très chill, la déco chaleureuse & inspirante, je recommande vivement.
Même quand il y'a du monde, s'asseoir au comptoir est agréable 👌🏻
Cute cafe with good coffee & amaretti, however there was a member of the staff that was sitting in the cafe, who was very loud & obnoxious. It really spoiled the atmosphere , which would have been otherwise very pleasant... she needs to learn about indoor voice & not yelling across a cafe to other employees.

Came this morning for the first time & I am very specific about how I like my coffee, they somehow got a perfect ring on my cappuccino with a great amount of foam, will come again
really delicious coffee for $4 is hard to find in the mile end!! keeps me coming back. also that almond cookie is to die for. nice place to come & do a bit of admin on my laptop in the mornings 💻 💫
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.
