Across reviews, Le Café Big Trouble stands out as a cozy, quirky Montreal brunch spot with strong coffee, homemade sourdough and a menu that delivers generous portions from breakfast burritos to pancakes and avocado toast; the staff are repeatedly praised for friendliness and attentiveness, the vibe is welcoming and lively, and the decor playful, making it a reliable place for casual mornings or afternoons, though a few comments note slow service during peak times and music that can be loud on Sundays.
A cozy cafe with good food & ample portion sizes. The service was exceptionally friendly & efficient. If I lived in Montreal, this cafe would be go to place to visit again.
Legally Blonde & Pancakes 🥞 . Perfect start to my birthday. The pancakes taste just like my mom's but with a zesty blueberry twist. I enjoyed every bite of nostalgia. Service was warm & friendly. Favorite restaurant in Montreal, will always come back here when I visit

This cafe is awesome they offer great service & food the atmosphere is a total vibe & yes they have great coffee we all had such a great breakfast we will definitely come back for sure next time we are in Montreal
I absolutely love this place. As a big fan of Turbo Haus, it's obvious they're related because of the effortlessly cool decor & vibe. Staff is lovely & menu is fantastic, they have specials which at the time I went was carrot cake pancakes that were to die for. Highly recommend!
Such a fun place. The food was wonderful & homemade. I had the pancakes & they were amazing! Service was really friendly & the music upbeat & fun. Loved the quirky decor & whimsical vibe. Highly recommend.
Awesome little brunch spot! Staff are super friendly & welcoming with great service. The pancakes are top tier, would highly recommend! My friend was torn between the breakfast burrito & the pancakes but ended up choosing the burrito so they gave him a complimentary pancake on the side, free of charge. Loved that they were playing The Addams Family on a big projector screen too 🖤 Will definitely be going back.
We love this cafe! Its a must for breakfast every time we visit Montreal. The service is great, the food is delicious, the coffee is excellent. The decor is irreverent & eclectic in that uniquely fun montreal way. Good vibes for days.
Vibes were immaculate - friendly staff & super welcoming. Pancakes were godlike! Well worth the windy & icy walk down the hill for me as a soft Vancouverite.
Café Big Trouble on St-Denis is a solid spot for a quick coffee stop. The cappuccino was really good, nicely balanced & well made. I also had a breakfast sandwich, which was decent & did the job.
Overall, the food was all right & it's a good place to grab a quick bite & coffee when you're in the area. Worth stopping by if you're on the go.
Such a cool place. Really good vibes & workers were very nice. Food was so good too! Sourdough is amazing, I had the avocado toast & my friend had the full breakfast. Her potatoes were fantastic & both of our eggs were cooked perfectly. Would def return is a hidden gem in the city.
