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.
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.
Just stellar everything delicious breakfast sandwitch&poutine cafe was good & the bloody ceasar nice selection of drinks too cozy atmosphere definetely the best place around!
I came here specifically to try their vegan mac & cheese after reading the reviews. It did not disappoint! It was delicious. I would like to see more vegan options on the menu in the future.
I visited this place months ago & it was as good as I remember the bavette was incredible & all the breads are so awesome, by far one of the places I will visit when I return to Montréal.
Nice & cute neighbor café, the service is pretty much self serve, order at the counter & go get it when is ready which is fine. The breakfast sandwich was really good. The coffee was a little disappointing, the Latte didn't have micro foam & even though it was just made it wasn't hot. The place is nice with plants & is a nice escape away from the cold outside
Can't say enough about how much I love this place. The coffee is the best in montreal- very smooth & creamy. Must get their pumpkin spice latte if visiting in the fall, still thinking about those complex & comforting flavours. Don't forget to get their loyalty card, you get a free coffee after only 5.. which is SO generous considering every other cafe requires 10. The fried chicken in chicken & waffles was perfectly cooked, crispy, juicy & tender. The waffles were cornmeal, making this dish unique & especially satisfying. The spicy honey was great- not too sweet. Having fruit on the side was a nice touch to cleanse the palette at the end. Great vegan / vegetarian options too. The vegan Mac & cheese was served in the cutest bowl & was honestly better than regular Mac & cheese. Pickled onions & crispy bread crumbs complemented the richness of the Mac & cheese. We also got the latke with house made hot sauce, the perfect side dish to anything on the menu. Their bread & pastries are all made in house, & you can tell they pay special attention to the details of their food. If it's your first time, recommend their breakfast sandwich too, it's my go-to grab & go. But having the brunch & bottomless mimosas was a nice treat. Super friendly & kind staff too. Wish I took a pic, but ate everything too fast! All in all, you must try this place!! Best new restaurant of 2023 hands down.
