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.

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.

Great spot for a coffee, a catch up with a friend or a casual solo time. Live music makes it even cozier!

Je mets 4 étoiles car l'endroit est super si vous aimez la musique live & si vous voulez seulement prendre un café. J'ai été assez déçue de la cuisine. Le bagel au saumon fumé était vraiment très rudimentaire & le bagel en lui-même était très sec. Le pain d'accompagnement sur l'omelette était brûlé & noir. Assez déçus d'avoir attendu 25 minutes pour quelque chose d'aussi classique. Le chaï latte était bon & pas trop fort & l'ambiance très sympa !

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 👌

L'endroit est fort agréable & j'adore la musique live! Les portions sont GÉNÉREUSES & la soupe était bonne, mais il manque 2 étoiles pcque.. Le chai latté gouttait l'eau à la cannelle (lait d'avoine de qualité très bof & je sais pas s'iels mettent un sirop ou infuse en 15sec le thé, mais c'était pas mal rapide la prep). Le gâteau au carottes est HUGE, mais si ce n'était de la quantité généreuse de glaçage, le gâteau en tant que tel est sec. Le grill notchease était immonde. Sorry, mais j'ai jamais trouvé la purée de poivron. Le pain noir serait bon, mais complètement détrempé dans l'eau des tomates qu'iels mettent dedans. C'est le truc le plus moche que j'ai jamais mis dans ma bouche 🤣 un genre de sandwich mouillé aux tomates chaudes sans mayo 🤢 Conseils gratuits 🤷 Remplacer les tomates par de l'hummus, du végé pâté ou du vegan chease, ou retirer cette chose du menu 🙏 Bref, heureuse d'avoir donné 25$ à cet endroit qui encourage les artistes, mais je peux difficilement y retourner si je n'y trouve pas breuvage & bouffe à mon estomac ☹️
