The menu delivers generous portions and house made breads, with standout items including sourdough, pancakes, avocado toast, burritos, and a salmon or lox platter, along with creative breakfast sandwiches; vegan options are noted as thoughtful. Coffee is frequently praised, from well balanced cortados to refreshing filter brews, and the pastries are often highlighted.

Occasional drawbacks include longer waits during busy periods and, for some, value or consistency issues with certain dishes. Overall, Le Café Big Trouble is regarded as a memorable Montreal brunch destination with strong food, a fun ambience, and a sense of community that makes it worth a visit.

This is a cute cafe. There is no table service, you go to the counter but it works, they have self serve water & everything you need on the table. Staff is friendly, food is just okay & not a very big selection. They discontinued the tomato soup & grilled cheese so we had a hard time finding something else we wanted with the limited options. I would check it out again if they brought that back but probably not otherwise.

Un peu cher pour la qualité du petit dej. Tu dois passer ta commande au comptoir & payé avant de manger !!!
Beaucoup de bruit dans la salle a manger & pas très spacieux.
il y en a qui aime mais moi appréciant manger au calme & avoir un bon service. Je ne reviendrai pas.

We went on Sunday morning (March 30) & it was easily the best breakfast spot we visited on our 4 day trip. The space was cute, the staff were above & beyond friendly & the food was delicious, of a generous portion size, & not at all unreasonably priced. We look forward to returning to town so we can start our day here.

Huh it seems the'big trouble' there is the waiter... He was kinda rude... said'jesus christ' when bringing our drinks because we didnt hear him at first... so yeah, unless this was part of some weird concept of being rude to customers I believe he might wanna have a good night sleep before coming to work. Otherwise the food was good & I would still recommend this place.

Back in the day, catching up with friends meant a night out over beers, loud music, & questionable decisions. Now that we're older (& wiser?), it's all about cozy cafes, cappuccinos, & deep conversations about back pain. The gossip is still the same, but now it comes with a side of foam art & zero regrets the next morning.

I love the place, amazing atmosphere! The staff are awesome & the pancakes are killers! If you're visiting MTL,CA you must try out their pancakes!

Tried the latkes, breakfast plate, & pancake stack. 10/10 across the board. Service was top-notch as well. Shoutout the girl working at the counter today (Tuesday, Dec 10th at 10:30 AM), thank you for accomodating to our requests with a smile on your face at all times & for your patience, too. We truly loved our experience here. The music playing in the restaurant was so nice & fit right in with the atmosphere of the place.

L'endroit est vraiment sympa, la nourriture était bonne & à un prix abordable. Le service ne se fait pas à table, pas évident donc de savoir à quel moment c'est bien notre commande qui est prête. Néanmoins, la déco est bien choisie & le rapport qualité/prix des repas est vraiment bon. J'y retournerai sans aucun doute lors de mon prochain passage à Montréal :)
