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.
Very nice cafe. Food was great. Ordered the bagel blt's, 2 chocolate croissants & 2 iced lattes, very friendly & efficient crew working over the counter.
La Finca Café in Old Montreal looks amazing: green, cozy, & the kind of place you'd want to chill in. But the coffee & food? Not it. I ordered a cappuccino & ended up with a latte, no foam in sight. The chocolate cookie topped with sea salt sounded promising, but the heavy sprinkle of raw salt turned it into more of a sodium rush than a sweet treat.
What really threw me off was the service speed. With four employees behind the counter, I figured I'd be sipping my drink in under five minutes, but that wasn't the case at all.
& then there's the size... only one option, a'extra small' For $5+tax, I expected a bit more than a tiny cup. Quality didn't make up for the quantity, & honestly, I walked away feeling shortchanged.
The atmosphere is the best part of the café, no question. I just wish the coffee & cookie matched the vibe. Hopefully next time it'll be a better experience.
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!
The vibe is nice like other cafés where w

Un café super mignon avec beaucoup de place pour s'asseoir! Nous avons pris un latte à la vanille & leur thé de l'été & c'était très bon! Leur sirops à café sont maison! Le staff était vraiment gentil!
We ate there for lunch during jazz fest. Had their'brunch' which was a poached egg on bread with ham & grated cabbage plus latte. Tasted ok but extremely salty- drank at least three glasses of water there & more after leaving. Plus $60 for two people seems like a lot to me. Otherwise ok for a busy cafe.
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.
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.
I had the chai latte & the shakshuka- both were very good.
Only caveat is that I needed to work & wasn't allowed to use my laptop at a table before 2pm - only at the bar seating which is really not the most comfortable to work at.
Amazinggggg little coffee shop. Incredible latte. Cinnamon bun thing was 😘😘😘. Laptops at the tall booth seats w no back rest allowed. Great chatty / catchup atmosphere.
A bit hippy, very affordable, wood + pastel colours. Loved it & will be back.
Really great atmosphere with kind staff. Food is slightly pricey but very good. I ordered a chai latte ($6) & the BLT bagel ($12). The bagel was delicious!
