Flers Café feels like a warm, cozy spot where fresh, house-made pastries sit beside excellent coffee. The standout is the flan lineup, especially pistachio and praline varieties, described as creamy and indulgent without being too sweet, with croissants also praised. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as welcoming and Parisian in vibe, making it a good place to relax, study, or catch up with friends. While staff are generally friendly, some reviews mention moments of service hiccups or miscommunication, and a few note price or closing-hour considerations. Overall, Flers Café is seen as a reliable neighbourhood favorite that makes most items in-house and fresh, inviting guests to slow down and enjoy a quality coffee and pastry experience.
Flers Café feels like a little escape from the city. The moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, elegant, & reminiscent of a cozy Parisian café.
The service was incredibly kind & welcoming, adding to the relaxed & inviting experience.
The coffee was excellent, but the true standout was the flan cakes. The praline & pistachio flavors were beautifully balanced - silky, creamy, & indulgent without being overly sweet.
Everything here feels carefully crafted & fresh. A lovely spot to slow down, enjoy great coffee, & treat yourself to something special.

We love discovering new coffee spots for date days, & Flers Café was such a beautiful surprise.
The space feels warm, cozy, & welcoming the moment you walk in. The staff were incredibly kind & friendly, which made the whole experience even better.
Their lattes are delicious & perfectly balanced, but the real highlight for us was the flan cakes. The praline & pistachio flan cakes were honestly some of the best we've had - creamy, rich, & full of flavor.
Everything here is made fresh from scratch, & you can really taste the quality in every bite.
It can get busy, but it's the perfect spot for a cozy coffee date, catching up with friends, or just enjoying a sweet treat with a great cup of coffee.
We love trying new coffee places & this one was amazing! The staff were super friendly & welcoming. The lattes were delicious, & the flan cakes - some of the best we've had. All their pastries & food are made from scratch & served fresh. We definitely will be going back!
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 :-)
