La graine brûlée comes across as a quirky, charming cafe with bold, eclectic decor and a vibe that makes it a go to spot for working or catching up with friends, and it is noted for staying open late which is appreciated. The coffee is repeatedly praised as well prepared and tasty, with a wide range of drinks and snacks and a terrace that is popular for lingering. The space offers many seating options and coworking areas, plus unique touches like private nooks and walls you can write on, creating a creative, study friendly atmosphere, and there is even local merchandise to browse. The staff are generally friendly and helpful, and there is a noted commitment to reducing waste and sustainable choices. It is often described as a must visit in the village and one of the best places in town for studying, socializing, and enjoying a casual meal or drink. Some criticisms appear: a grilled cheese that misses the mark, occasional slow service or crowded hours, higher prices, and occasional uncomfortable seating or sensory issues in bathrooms. Some patrons mention extra charges for takeout cups or portions and size expectations for drinks, but overall the experience remains positive and the place is seen as a standout, vibrant and inviting hub for work, drinks, and socializing.
Cute little cafe to visit. Nice selection of coffees & they also have cocktails. There's also a photo booth, crane machine. I really like they also have a small boutique with local marchandise.
Belle découverte au café La Graine Brûlée à Montréal! J'y suis allé pour prendre un café après souper. J'ai essayé le dirty chai latte & un espresso, les deux étaient très bons. Le brownie était excellent aussi. Il y a plusieurs types d'endroits pour s'asseoir, dont une petite'boîte' assez spéciale mais vraiment une bonne idée. Ambiance agréable!
I've recently started working out of cafes once a week, this was one of the first I tried for this purpose & it was a great pick. This is a unique, eclectic space. There are a few seating areas that customer can climb to & hang out bunk style. Plenty of seating throughout. The offerings are of quality, they have some boutique goods too for those that are interested. They are not short on baked goods but a bit more variety would be a plus. Overall the atmosphere of this place is fun & inviting, but still peaceful enough to get some work done. I was very comfortable working here for hours.

Ambiance éclatée & style déjanté mais oh combien charmant. Je m'y suis présenté à le matin pour un café & 2h de travail à distance...3 cappuccinos plus tard, je peux affirmer que leur café est sublime & très bien apprêté. Chapeau pour la musique de génétiques de dessins animés dans les toilettes.
Endroit fancy pour se poser & travailler, boire un café/the/jus & petite restauration. Le concept est original, il y a même des genres de cabanes pour les personnes qui veulent s isoler en hauteur (même sans être des oiseaux!). Très sympa.
J'adore l'ambiance, les employés sont toujours super nices & le café est bien. C'est vraiment bien aussi que le café reste fermé tard, il y en a de moins en moins je trouve.
Par-contre no offense mais c'est le grilled-cheese le plus dégeulasse que j'ai manger de tout les grilled-cheeses que j'ai pu essayer à date venant de cafés/restos. La recette est à changer. plssss je sais pas qui s'occupe officielement de la cuisine ou des recettes mais je vous en supplie faite de quoi. Des pommes coupées en chunks carrés vont pas bien cuire uniformement sur la presse. Le pain etait bin ordinaire & les onions étaient bof as well. Merci
one of my favourite cafés to sit & chill at. whether it be on my own or with friends the atmosphere & vibe are incredible. definitely one of my favourites in mtl.
J'aime beaucoup m'y rendre pour parler autour d'un café ou d'un sandwich, & la boutique est cool. J'enlève une étoile pour les gens qui stagnent avec leur laptop sans consommer : plusieurs fois je me suis retrouvée sans place pour m'asseoir, le café devrait imposer des limites.
