C'est conviviale, mais pour le cadre & l'ambiance.... C'est cher pour ce que c'est. 15,55$ taxes incluses, avant pourboire pour un café & McSaucisse maison. Grosse musique alternative du style Pearl Jam a 9h le matin. C'est ok. Sans plus. A vous de juger.
Went here only because it was right nextdoor to my hotel. Got the ricotta pancake, breakfast burrito, & poutine. All three were phenomenal, especially the ricotta pancake. Everything was really fresh & delicious. Wasn't going to get poutine until I saw them peeling potatoes in the kitchen. Highly reccommend

Nous avons été reçu par une jeune femme très agréable. Elle a été transparente avec nous car nous étions pressés & nous a dit qu'il fallait attendre un peu pour la cuisine. Nous avons pris un latte & un double espresso qui étaient vraiment savoureux. Bien meilleurs qu'un endroit dont je ne citerai pas le nom qui lui ne mérite pas, à mon sens, ses étoiles. Bref je recommande Big Trouble !
Le Café Big Trouble offre un espace intime avec une déco unique & des cafés de haute qualité. Le service est chaleureux & l'ambiance conviviale, parfait pour une pause café ou une discussion tranquille.
Great little tucked away place on Dt Denis. Comfortable environment, good food & the coffee is good. This may just become a weekend neighbourhood stop for me. Writing the review even as I'm tucking into a plate of steaming hot pancakes 😄 & the music? Spot on!! Perfect Sunday vibes.
The food is delicious, comforting kind of breakfast food. They serve Traffic coffee, which is OK, but not an amazing roastery; suits the vibe though: bright pastel just missed the brat summer bandwagon kinda vibes: cute. If you're in a rush though, or even if you're not, just be advised that you wait a surprisingly long time for something as simple as a breakfast sandwich. The first time I came, it was busy, & the wait for a breakfast sandwich was around 45 minutes. The second time I came it was pretty quiet, & I still waited 30 minutes for a breakfast sandwich. I do like the flavor of the food at Big Trouble. If you have the time, try it out. I've just got less free time on my hands than others must have to spend it waiting that long for an English muffin, egg, sausage, & American cheese than other people have, apparently. Also, it would help if they called orders out more than once, in case you're in the bathroom or sitting outside & it's difficult to hear. Cool logo, so we bought the t-shirt.

C'était bon mais le service était beauuuucoup trop long. Nous étions 9 dans le restaurant, dont 2 déjà servis. J'ai attendu 35 minutes un avocado toast (& j'ai été la première servie) entre le moment où j'ai payé & le moment où je l'ai récupéré ! 35 minutes pour une tranche de pain & de l'avocat dessus !! Yes, it's a really big trouble !!
Definitely one of the best brunch spots in town. If you want to enjoy the best avocado toast without resorting to robbing your grandma (but seriously, that bread is next-level), you're in the right place. Don't even get me started on the pancakes-they're better than your mom's, (no offense, Mom). But my personal favorite? The homemade Pop-Tarts, literally stuffed with love (ok, not literally). & of course, they serve a DAMN good coffee, as Dale Cooper would say. Café Big Trouble feels like home (but better).
J'ai apprécié la nourriture, mais il n'y avait pas de service aux tables, ce qui a rendu l'expérience un peu moins agréable. De plus, l'aménagement extérieur semblait en mauvais état, ce qui a affecté l'atmosphère générale du café.
Had breakfast here with a group of friends. All of us left the cafe raving about our experience. The coffee was made with care, the food was freshly prepared with quality ingredients-& was delicious! The service & atmosphere were friendly. It was a great place to start our day. Thank you !
I stopped by on my most recent trip to Montreal, although my hangover won & I didn't get there in time for breakfast, I had a really great iced coffee & the service & atmosphere was fantastic.
