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.
Très bonne atmosphère & des super décorations. Seulement un peu cher pour ce qu'on recoit mais c'est downtown Montreal donc je crois que c'est la moyenne.
Nice artsy cafe, good service & great coffee - I took the cold brew & a lavender lemonade. It's also a great place to work - fast wifi & plenty of power outlets.
Le barista a mal fait la commande en plus d'avoir une attitude. Exige des frais pour une paille après avoir servit la boisson alors qu'on lui avait dit qu'on voulait une paille & qu'on voulait pour emporter.
I've been coming here over the years & I do enjoy this coffee shop although I was surprised that they charge extra for straws. In an era of continuous health outbreaks, it should be understandable that some people may prefer not to drink directly from a glass. A straw shouldn't be treated as a luxury
FOU AMBIANCE! La terrasse est trop cool, la playlist est fire, les muffins sont bons, ils ont plein de sirops trop bons (surtout celui à la pistache). Dès que vous entrez à la Graine Brulée, surtout quand Youcef est là, votre mood sera instantanément boosté! #meilleurcafedemontreal
Bien que le service ne se fasse pas aux tables, le personnel est vraiment sympathique & offrant de bons conseils sur les produits offerts. C'est un lieu unique & adorable. Vous y trouverez aussi cartes & cadeaux originales ; de quoi rendre très gay la personne élue de votre coeur... Essayer ce lieu, c'est l'adopter. & en plus, c'est abordable ! Je recommande ce café sans aucune réserve !

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!
Super cute coffee shop in a beautiful neighborhood ! It is open late, delicious drinks/snacks, & of course, great staff! The inside is very cozy & has a lot of personality & style, I highly recommend for a date ! I tried the London Fog & it was delicious!

Quartier a Montréal pas très frequentable. Localisation pas idéale.
Ambiance interieure très cosy, retro, sympa, atypique. J'adore. Il y a aussi un magasin pour acheter des tasses, cartes & autres.
Le service etait bon.
Les produits sont ok mais sans plus malheureusement. Vous avez des choix de produits salé, sucré, etc.
