Flers Café serves a specialized selection of artisanal pastries and high-quality coffee beverages designed for a refined palate. The menu focuses on traditional baking techniques, emphasizing flakey croissants, dense pain au chocolat, and delicate fruit tarts that highlight seasonal ingredients. Each preparation reflects a commitment to balanced textures and precise flavor profiles rather than excessive ornamentation. The interior features a minimalist aesthetic with clean lines and functional seating arrangements intended for quiet concentration or focused social interaction. Patrons encounter a methodical approach to espresso extraction and bean sourcing that prioritizes clarity and brightness. This establishment provides a focused environment centered on the technical execution of classic continental café staples. The consistent quality of the baked goods ensures that each item maintains its structural integrity and distinct flavor from the first bite to the last.
Flers Café is widely celebrated as a standout destination in the Plateau, consistently praised for its warm, elegant atmosphere and exceptional house-made offerings. Patrons frequently highlight the variety of delicious, perfectly balanced flans, specifically the praline and pistachio flavors, as well as the high-quality coffee and freshly prepared sandwiches. The staff is generally described as friendly, welcoming, and helpful, contributing to a cozy and inviting experience for both solo visitors and groups. While the establishment is a popular spot for socializing and enjoying a break, some customers have expressed disappointment regarding the weekend policy that prohibits laptop use, as well as occasional challenges with noise levels during busy periods or specific interactions with management.
Super café qui propose un concept original & gourmand : des flans déclinés en plusieurs saveurs. Mention spéciale pour le Praliné, absolument DELICIEUX ! Passage obligatoire lors d'un séjour à Montréal. Je recommande sans hésiter. Bon flan ! ;)
My wife & I came on a Sunday to do some work on our laptops & have a nice coffee & sandwich to get out of the house. We order food & drinks, which was $40 for two without tip (this is a cafe mind you), open our laptops & start to work. Not moments later the presumed owner or manager swoops out of no where & promptly informs us no laptops are allowed on weeks, saying a sign was on the door stating as such. He was also quite condescending to my wife but amicable to me which was very disrespectful. We didn't see the sign because the door was propped open & out of view, when the sign should have been displayed on the window under the menu so people could actually see it. After that, another patron takes a seat & opens her laptop to start working & was not asked to put her laptop away. While the food & drink were good, & the service pleasant, the cafe needs to better display it's weekend laptop ban in much the way Lilly & Ollie does. After spending $40 on cafe food & the way my wife was treated we will second guess coming back.
Les flans & cafés sont vraiment bons, par contre le service, nul! La dernière fois, je suis allée avec une amie, nous avons commandés des boissons, en payant par carte, il y a bien entendu le % pour pourboire (la personne fait les cafés, mais pas de service à table, alors pourquoi les tips?), & quand on récupère nos boissons, il nous demande de ne pas oublier de mettre nos tasses dans le bac quand on aura fini. Sérieux? La prochaine fois, il faut qu'on fasse la vaisselle aussi? Maintenant, je vais dans un autre café, ou le patron & serveurs nous sourient, nous amènent nos boissons à table, ne nous demandent pas de mettre la vaisselle dans le bac, & on donne des pourboire avec plaisir.
Excellent café, tout le personnel est très sympathique & attentionné, & la nourriture est délicieuse sans être trop sucrée ! Mariano est le meilleur barrista en ville !
Très bien ! Gros + sur les flans qui sont il faut le dire une petite dinguerie gustative
J'attends avec impatiente le café filtre !
A bientôt
Bisous, un futur habitué
I'm really saddened to write this because I used to love this cafe. However, the recent changes are impossible to ignore. The vibe feels off, the staff seems disinterested, & the food quality has taken a major hit. It's no longer the 5-star gem it used to be.
