Review Summary

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.

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!

It's a nice eclectic café. I like they have a spot with local merchandise to sell. The staff were super friendly. Brownie was delicious so was my latté. They charge 50 cents for take out cups. Bathrooms have strobe lights so if your are sensitive to that, I suggest not going in. All in all, really good experience.

Endroit charmant, mais la barista était froide & dormait debout, & apparemment pour elle ~tous les breuvages sont des lattes & personne ne va s'en rendre compte~ ce qui est ordinaire quand on commande un cortado & un cappuccino

I only had coffee, & it was very good. Once again, I will complain about the price. My impression before going there was that the coffee was cheap, it is not. Also, maybe I'm used to the size of a café latte Venti when I ask for a large coffee, it seems I'm always disappointed outside of Starbucks. My feeling is if you will ask seven dollars for a coffee then you better damn well give me a big one. It doesn't cost the coffee shop that much more so just do it. Also I should warn you that they have a strange policy of charging $.50, yes $.50 for a paper cup. Of course they say it's for the environment….. other than those two things the place was quite fun. It seem to be more like a playground for kids than a coffee shop. But it was a fun atmosphere. The staff were very friendly & nice to talk to you.

Un must dans le village, toujours agréable pour étudier ou profiter de leur terrasse en sirotant leur délicieux chaï latte! L'endroit est accueillant, on se sent comme chez nous!

C'est un espace de travail niché en plein coeur du Village, & il n'y a qu'un mot à dire: cool. La deco est cool Le wifi est cool La musique est cool Le latté au curcuma est cool Les muffins sont cools Le garde du corps à l'entrée est cool Les serveuses sont super cools L'ambiance est extra cool... Bref quand j'ai envie d'étudier & travailler dans un environnement plein de coolitude :'D c'est ma place préférée!
