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.
Recomendación para mis paisanos mexicanos de visita en Canadá. Es muy rico el desayuno, probé la Frittata (es como un mouse hecho con huevo, arriba queso de cabra, acompanado de lechuga, recomiendo el extra de pan), el café es rico. El desayuno está alrededor de los $300.00 pesos mexicanos por persona.
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.

Had an excellent cortado & frittata for lunch. Just don't come here if you are in a hurry - the restaurant gets very busy for lunch. The restaurant also gets pretty loud since it is such a small space.
Beautifully open cafe with delicious coffee & a good assortment of food & pastry. I had the frittata & it was amazing-cooked perfectly, topped with goat cheese & a simple salad.
Can get busy, but they do a good job of managing tables; we had no problem finding a place to sit
Superbe café, ambiance décontracte & nourriture excellente. Nous y sommes allés en famille avec nos deux filles pour le déjeuner & nous avons adoré les viennoiseries (coup de coeur pour le cinnamon roll croustillant & tendre à la fois) & la Frittata avec salade & fromage de chèvre. À distance de marche parfaite de l'hôtel Marriott Courtyard Centre-ville. Merci pour l'excellente service également.
This morning, my wife & I visited La Finca Café in Montréal for the first time, & it was a delightful experience. Nestled in the heart of the city, this charming neighborhood café offers a perfect blend of warmth & sophistication. The ambiance immediately stood out-a cozy yet modern space with a welcoming vibe. The café's clean, minimalist design was complemented by soft lighting & a mix of patrons working, chatting, or simply enjoying their coffee. The subtle hum of conversation & the faint aroma of freshly brewed coffee created a relaxing atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for a casual breakfast or lunch. The food was equally impressive. My wife opted for the Frittata, which was light, flavorful, & perfectly paired with a creamy Latte. I went for the Yogurt granola, a refreshing & well-balanced dish with just the right sweetness, alongside a buttery Croissant that was flaky & delicious. To top it off, I tried one of their Smoothies, which was fresh & vibrant, leaving me energized for the day ahead. The quality of the ingredients was evident, & the focus on local & fine products truly elevated the experience. The service was outstanding. Gabriel, our server, was attentive, friendly, & knowledgeable about the menu. He made excellent recommendations & ensured our visit was seamless from start to finish. His warm demeanor added a personal touch to the experience, making us feel like valued guests rather than just customers. Overall, La Finca Café impressed us with its inviting ambiance, high-quality food, & impeccable service. It's a spot we'd happily return to & recommend to anyone looking for a memorable café experience in Montréal.
Never had grilled cheese like this before. Leeks & mustard worked wonders. The chicken & herb sandwich was really good too! Combined with the fresh orange juice & the ambiance this made for a perfect quick brunch. Visited again after 3 years. Shakshuka was good. As was the frittata. I just hope service was a bit faster i think it was busy time. Loved the financier. I genuinely missed their old menu. Their leeks & mustard sandwich i still remember to this day. I wonder why its a redesign & they've leaned on muted flavors. Not bad but missed the pizzaz.
What a find!! While having a short stay in Montreal we found this gem. The bagel BLT was so fresh & delicious. The frittata did not disappoint either, as it was full of so much flavor. The problem was we kept buying other items, the pecan tart (twice) & a croissant. All exceeded our expectations. The maple latte & a mocha we had were equally as good. The service was friendly. Being the food was so fresh we had to wait a bit for our order, but so worth the wait.

Really enjoyed the shakshuka & cinnamon roll. My wife had a frittata that we pretty decent though somewhat under seasoned. Cute vibe with really nice employees. Great little breakfast cafe.
We came in late morning on a summer weekday & this place was really busy, but we were able to place our order & got the food quickly! Also love the vibe & art work on the walls. Highlights-the coffee products & sweets were delicious. So was the shakshuka. The frittata -perhaps canadian frittatas are different but all the folks in our party that tried it thought that it was off. Bottom line - have anything besides the frittata & you & your stomach will be happy.
Returned because the American Sociological Association meetings are here again. Bit of a wait but the food was good & the coffee excellent. My parter had the Bagel BLT & ate it quickly. Generous size & lot of sauce. I had the frittata plus some bread. Honestly the bread was the highlight. Would return. From 2017: Interesting space. Wasn't sure what the "office" part meant, but there were some glass walled-rooms to one side that maybe were meant for working? I sat outside in the backyard patio. The coffee & pastry were excellent.
Nice environment & incredible frittata: tender, light, aromatic & pairs well with the goat cheese, & the added salad is a nice touch. The almond matcha is a bit bland but not sweet which is nice. There was a delay in serving frittata due to a minor mistake & the staff was so nice to give me a complimentary dessert: which tastes amazing by the way: impeccable customer service!
