Across the reviews, Le Café Big Trouble comes across as a lively, quirky cafe with a warm, welcoming vibe and a strong brunch and coffee scene in Montreal. The coffee is repeatedly praised, along with generous portions of pancakes, avocado toast, sourdough breads, breakfast burritos, and other playful dishes, many showcasing homemade touches. The atmosphere is described as fun, relaxed, and visually engaging, with eclectic décor, a friendly staff, and occasional music or projector moments that add to the experience. It is often called a hidden gem and a reliable spot to start the day or grab a quick bite, with several mentions of great service and good value. A few drawbacks appear: service can be slow or inconsistent during busy periods, some visits noted long waits for food, and a couple of comments about price or ordering options. Overall, Le Café Big Trouble is seen as a standout brunch and coffee destination that delivers on flavor, vibe, and community feel.
Got the poutine & chai latte, & both were great. Freshly fried fries, savoury gravy (surprisingly it's vegan), plenty of cheese curds, in good proportions. Chai latte was legit too, with fresh ginger & cinnamon. Tasted my friend's latte & it was also very rich & flavourful. Good chill vibe where everyone seemed to be having a great time. Prices are reasonable in a city where everything seems so expensive these days. Would come back anytime.
Was pleasantly surprised by this découverte! Came with my daughter, staff was very accommodating & friendly & the food (breakfast sandwich especially) was quite tasty! I recommend ☺️

Good tunes, delicious food, good coffee, solid vibes, super friendly staff. Visited this spot twice while in town for a few days. Both visits were great, keep it up.
Seriously good food with no pretence. Everything is homemade & delicious. The décor is perfect. Engaging server/cook/owners & super friendly. The burger on a homemade bun with salad - out of this world. & I can hardly wait to go back & have another heavenly pop tart.
The wait for the food is a bit long but it was fresh & decent. The price is a bit expensive but the beverages are 10/10!! Staff who took our order was super friendly & nice!
L'endroit est duper cozy. Belle ambiance! Le service etait cool aussi. Mais le café n'étais pas à la hauteur. Le chocolat chaud non plus. Ils ne goûtent rien, & mon café froid était translucide. Peut être une prochaine fois!
An absolute go-to Latin Quarter cafe which puts a deliciously unique spin on everyday classics. The service & staff are super nice & friendly. I enjoyed the Déjeuner Burrito, banana bread, Avocado Toast not to mention the surprisingly mega delicious Vegan Mac & Cheese! Lots of attention to detail & lots of bang for your buck! Great goodness for the tummy that leaves you wanting to go back again & again.

Coup de coeur :) Je recommande fortement. L'ambiance est vraiment plaisante, le latté délicieux, le staff beaucoup trop gentil. Je vais revenir assurément travailler dans ce beau petit café unique.
Generous portions at an extremely reasonable price. Tried the avocado toast, breakfast burrito, pancake, pop-tart, gingerbread cookie & coffee. Everything was satisfying. There's a laidback yet fun energy to this place. The owners are super personable, you really sense the love that goes into everything they're doing. Def recommend.
La nourriture consommer sur place étais à la limite du mangeable... pizza rouler froide & indigne d'un restaurant & le café étais amer & vraiment pas bon... par contre le personnel étais très agréable
Just the best experience every single time. Genuinely excellent food & coffee, a warm, welcoming room & the service is always truly excellent. Friendly, accommodating, sweet & patient.
