Review Summary

Le Dépanneur Café comes across as a charming bohemian spot with a unique concept, offering live music throughout the day, a friendly team, and an atmosphere that suits working, reading, or gathering with friends. Coffee is consistently praised as flavorful and well prepared, with standout sandwiches and carrot cake, and the vibe is cozy, vibrant, and reasonably priced for take home meals. The space blends red brick walls, couches, and a back room that feels intimate, and the summer terrace is noted to be adorable. A few reviews caution that the music can be loud for conversation and that cleanliness or service at the entrance can be uneven. Overall, it comes across as a beloved local spot for breakfast, work sessions, and socializing, with live performances adding a warm, welcoming energy.

The live music was appreciated even though it was a bit too loud for my liking (I struggled to hear my friend during our conversation at times), but the coffee was delicious & the workers here are lovely! Service was quick & cordial

What you should come for? The sandwiches are excellent. The drinks & pastries were good but ordinary. We enjoyed the live music.

Un petit café plein de charme avec une ambiance super chaleureuse ! Des musicien·ne·s viennent y jouer en live, ce qui rend l'endroit encore plus magique. & l'été, la terrasse est absolument adorable, super pour profiter du soleil avec un bon café.

I enjoyed an excellent espresso & what might just be Montreal's best carrot cake. The real highlight, though, is the live music: we had the chance to hear Mari Sild perform, along with two other talented groups. This venue is a must-visit!

It's a lovely hangout & enjoyable atmosphere although I have to say that the music is pretty loud. I enjoy live music but it's hard to have a casual brunch & chat with a musician desperately trying to make a good performance.

Très joli petit cafe chill & hype . Le gateau carottes est très bon, la deco est sympa , piano, aquarelles aux murs en vieille brique . C était un lendemain de noel donc pas eu droit aux groupes de music live mais un fond sonore musical très sympa & recherche, on y reviendra sûrement. Menu simple & abordable. Toujours bon & sympa des mois après

I cannot believe I have never been to this cafe before! The sandwich they make is so amazing! I loved it. Simple, delicious & inexpensive. It's absolutely a place you have to go if you felt like most fancy cafes these days are just a hype… this place is just humbly charming. Live music with the love & support to local artists is also such a heartwarming uniqueness of the cafe. I cannot wait to go back ❤??🔥

Now this is a quintessential cafe in my book. I want to say it's the best I've ever been in (of many hundreds) but that might just be enthusiasm of several good visits talking. Firstly, it's both spacious & cozy, red brick walls mixed with couches, tables, stand up bar as well as a back room that feels more private but is more for noisier chatting. In the main room is, quite unbelievably, is live music every single day between 10-5pm which sends this cafe into another category of shared social spaces entirely. It is successful as a space to sit & read quietly, chat with a friend or listen to rather chill live music. The menu is small but good & coffee is great & always improving. Can't give it a better review. &! Many of the patrons actually have books with them which is heart warming to see.

Small coffee shop but almost continuous live music. Great place to stop for a coffee or water or light lunch & hang out.

Rather a hipster ambiance than a cozy coffee shop, the service is very good. Their carrot cake is amazing. Live music from 10 to 5 every day, quite nice.
