Reviews describe La Finca Café as a bright, cozy spot with a welcoming vibe and a strong focus on breakfast and coffee. The food gets high marks for variety and a homemade feel, with standout dishes like shakshuka, frittata, croque madame, a salmon and kimchi sandwich, and a much loved bagel BLT. Pastries and desserts earn frequent praise, especially cinnamon rolls, croissants and locally made yogurts and chocolates. Coffee is consistently praised for quality, with smooth lattes, bold cortados, and well balanced cappuccinos, though a few notes mention temperature or speed issues. The atmosphere is described as charming, relaxed, and family friendly, sometimes lively and busy with a small space that can get loud, though a back terrace adds charm. Service receives praise for friendliness and efficiency when possible, but lines and waiting times during peak hours are common critiques. Overall La Finca Café comes across as a reliable go to for breakfast or brunch with good coffee, tasty in house food, and a welcoming vibe.
Only place I went to twice in my 4 days here. Frittata one day when did not want pastries. Light & fluffy, very nice with the goat cheese on it, otherwise very mild flavor. Nice sesame toast. The masala chai was a bit sharp, almost spicy rather than sweet to me, but it grew on me. Went back because yogurt & granola was appealing in all the heavy fare & I was a little sad I had missed it on my last visit. Really is as good as everyone says. The granola is loose, not clusters, wonderful flavor, & the yogurt is super light & fluffy, little sour which is offset by the granola & fruit. The lemonade was a surprise, tart & strawberry infused. I couldn't help myself & got the breakfast danish too, didn't make it through that. Quite good but the mustard flavor is quite intense, & I was frankly just full as it was more than I was needing but I couldn't not try it.
we went here twice during our stay because it is so so lovely! the breakfast danishes are amazing, but so is all the other food items! great coffee! super friendly service & accommodating to us anglophones who failed to muster up the courage to speak french! merci & a bientôt
I really loved there rigour on use of tables. No taking a table until you have ordered. No use of laptops or taking large tables unless you have two or more people in your party.
Oh, great coffee, great food, warm & friendly service !
This place is mainly for breakfast (bagels, parfaits, etc) with good quality coffee, the pastries are less than average. Place is very popular so there might be a queue, service is slow but very friendly.
There are plenty of coffee shops near our hotel, but we were lucky to discover this one. When we arrived, there was a long line, but the service was fast, so it never felt like a problem. I wish I had asked the name of the lady at the cashier-she was incredibly friendly & welcoming, even though she was busy.
I ordered a matcha latte & a breakfast danish, & both were delicious! Exactly what I needed to start the morning: a positive vibe, a simple breakfast, & great taste. Honestly, it's a 1000/10!

This is the place to go! I ate here three times on my trip to Montreal & all of the breakfast dishes are fresh & incredible. There was always a line out the door but it moves fairly quickly.
I recently visited La Finca for breakfast, & I can't recommend it enough! The coffee was great, & the food was simply delightful. I highly suggest trying the brunch with the poached eggs & meat on top; it was absolutely to die for!
We also enjoyed a delicious Danish, & the granola yogurt was a yummy treat. The atmosphere was cute & cozy, making it a perfect spot for families. Yes, there was a long line, but it kept moving, which speaks to its popularity!
If you're in Montréal, make sure to stop by for breakfast or brunch. You won't regret it!

I stopped by around 8AM & there was already a line, ~6-7 people in front of me, which moved a bit slowly. Once I got to the counter, the staff was really nice & friendly, which made up for the wait.
I ordered a latte & croissants to go, & both were great. The latte was smooth & rich just what I needed to start the day.
I was also eyeing the Danish breakfast, but I asked if they could leave out the mustard, & they said no changes were possible. I ended up skipping it, which was a bit disappointing.
All in all, great coffee, great pastries, & kind service, just be ready to wait a little during the morning rush.
Great little friendly place & staff. Awesome Honduran coffee beans & the baristas know their art. Fast & friendly service & the food was very good. We shared the Brunch Breakfast. It was loaded with delicious maple ham. My friends had the BLT & a croissant & really liked it. Thanks for an excellent breakfast experience! We will be back. : )
I went for breakfast this morning after being recommended by several people & my group & I were all equally disappointed. To start, the chai lattes tasted like a ginger latte. Which is fine but wasn't what we expected when we ordered chai. We ordered a breakfast danish & the egg was so overdone it was rubbery. When we asked the server about it he said'this is the way we do it' which is okay, but I still feel like it was overdone in general. Eggs should never be hard & rubbery, in my opinion anyways. We also got a parfait & though it was the best thing we ordered it was still just, fine.
This is my go to breakfast place when I'm in Montreal. Had the yogurt & granola last weekend & it was the best yogurt I've ever eaten! I was told it's made in house which explains why it's so good. Coffee is delicious too. You can't go wrong.
