Reviews portray Flers Café as a cozy, welcoming neighborhood spot where the flans are the stars, with pistache and praline often singled out for being delicious and creamy, along with vanilla and sesame varieties; coffee and pastries are consistently praised, from cappuccinos, moka oats, flat whites, and cortados to croissants, brioche and other house made treats. The atmosphere is described as warm and relaxed, a place to socialize, study, or linger, with friendly staff and attention to detail in presentation. Some notes about the space include strong lunch and snack options like BLT and grilled vegetable sandwiches, and the place being very laptop friendly on weekdays with plenty of outlets. Occasional drawbacks mentioned include crowded weekends and trouble finding seating, plus a policy that laptops are not allowed on weekends which some guests would like clarified. Overall the quality is repeatedly highlighted as high, with the flan varieties especially popular and the cafe consistently recommended as a top Montreal spot for coffee and desserts.
Je suis venue car j'avais envie d'un flan, j'avais peur car souvent les flans pistache ont un goût de chocolat blanc coupé avec un peu de pistache. Mais là c'était vraiment full pistache c'était super bon!
Le personnel est très gentil & il y'a de la place même si c'est très occupé le week-end.
I'm so glad Flers Café took over this location! The previous café was pretentious & only spoke English - embarassing when I'd come with francophone friends in Le Plateau Mont Royal & they weren't served in English! But Flers is FABULOUS. Great coffee, lovely vibe, chatted with two employees are both were extremely warm (& bi-lingual!)
The Flan is the most delicious flan I've had in the area! Pistachio was out of this world. Big portions too! I'll certainly be back 🙌🏼
Missed the very small sign on the front door saying no laptops on weekends, & after spending $9 on an americano & cookie, was told I couldn't have my laptop out. So I had to leave because I work weekends. At the very least, there should be more signage, but on a broader level I resent this approach to managing how the space is used/how time is limited through this rule against some media (laptop) over others (books). As businesses in the plateau, this kind of regulation is anti-social & prioritizes the bourgeois who has time off on the weekends to enjoy their paper-based leisure-time activities. FWIW the cookie was good (I threw the americano out as it got cold on my walk back home).
Délicieux & les prix sont super corrects ! On a pris BLT, sandwich aux légumes grillés, flan pistache, flan régulier, matcha lait d'avoine & flat White. Tout était super bon mais mention spéciale aux flans 😍
Such a noisy place ! Loud music, staff not making much effort with the dishes. Not smiling, not looking in the eyes when you say hello, speak like machines when they address you. Don't ask'is there smth else you would like ?'go straight to'you have to pay now'. You can feel they just needed a job & are not really into service & relationship to people. They choose music that is just wavy, adding to the bad acoustic of the place that resonates a lot. Believe me, there are a lot of better coffeeshops in the neighbourhood
Je suis allée chez Flers spécialement pour goûter les flans pistache & praliné. Comment vous dire qu'ils étaient tres bon ! En plus l'accueil est chaleureux. Je recommande :-)
Je continue ma quête du meilleur flan à Montréal
& honnêtement je n'ai pas été dessus, mention spécial au flan au praliné qui était super bon.
Dommage il y avait bcp de gens en télétravail dans le café, compliqué de trouver une place
