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.

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.

Any visit to Montreal must include a trip to Le Dépanneur Café. Best café to visit friends, cozy up with a book or catch some live music. This place is an absolute staple of the Mile End (plus the coffee & baked goods are delicious!)

Recommended. The "hippie" decor is nice. Their sandwich, carrot cake, & coffee are good, & their prices are affordable. The staff is friendly & the service is excellent. The live music they play through out the day is very nice.

My spot of choice, all year-long, for cozy breakfasts, reading sessions & great carrot cake. The live music is always a lovely time.

This is a love & hate situation. Pros: amazing vibe. Very cosy & welcoming The live music makes this cafe even prettier & lovely & the artists are very talented with amazing voices Coffee is good Cons: I didn't find the place clean. I ordered grilled cheese & it barely had any cheese. In fact they cut it in half & one half the cheese wasn't even seen The salad is not too fresh & the vinaigate is too acidic ( white vinger flavour is overpowering everything else )

We love this little Cafe in Mile End. Live music most of the day, coffee is hot & freshly made to order & the food is fantastic! Highly recommend the carrot cake 👌
