Le Petit Dep comes across as a cozy, charming spot in Old Montreal where a mix of coffee, pastries, and a small gift shop creates a welcoming, European vibe; guests praise quality drinks like lattes, chai lattes, matcha, and iced options, and pastries such as almond croissants, caneles, and cookies, often paired with friendly service and a warm ambiance, though some visits note crowded small spaces, limited seating, and occasional slow service; a few reviews flag higher prices, variability in pastry freshness, and reminders that the cafe is not a place for long laptop work, with a no-computer policy in certain areas, plus logistical quirks like construction outside and no toilets in some locations; despite these, it remains a popular, photogenic stop for tourists and locals who want a quick bite, a memorable coffee, or a visit to the shop for local treats.
Nothing is priced!!! Out of all the beautiful made in Quebec specialties items ( just what I was looking for) not one was priced. The girl suggested I just bring it to the cash she will let me know how much it costs but that was not going to work as I wanted to know the cost of everything! Coffee was excellent unfortunately bought nothing, did not have the energy to keep inquiring!
They have a beautiful atmosphere & something of a corner store vibe but with gift style options & pre-packaged food & drink. They have gluten & lactose free baked goods, I had a giant chocolate & nut cookie with their Americano which is delicious.
I was looking for a coffee shop open on Christmas Day since most places in Canada were closed. I stumbled upon Le Petit Dep, which is popular with tourists in Montreal because it's right beside Notre Dame Basilica. The exterior looks very aesthetic, & inside there was a long line. The space is small, so you may need to wait to sit. I ordered a latte & their almond croissant, & both were excellent. The croissant was worth every bite & good value for money. After, I checked their shop & bought some chocolates for friends. I didn't see the prices & was shocked when the bill came to $130 for 8 chocolates, lesson learned! Overall, the experience was very enjoyable. Great coffee, amazing croissant, beautiful spot. I'll definitely come back but will ask prices first next time.
This beautiful café offers excellent & unique local products. Unfortunately, the pros stop there. The service has been consistently disappointing, marked by contemptuous & arrogant attitudes on more than one visit. It's a shame to see such potential be overshadowed by such poor customer treatment. With better service, I would actually recommend it to my friends.
Been here several years ago & remembered the place fondly as a beautiful cozy taste breakfast place. It still looks nice but baked goods & prepared sandwiches are beyond stale. They were also selling'older croissants' for 50% off, we did not partake… based on the age of our sandwiches & scone, cannot imagine how old those croissants are.
A beautiful & quaint little coffee shop in the heart of Old Montreal. I think I spend $150 over 2 days every time I stay near that location. Coffee is amazing with tons of other options such as desserts, food & plenty of drinks to choose from.
Just a gem, like you're in another country when you're there.
This busy little cafe is totally Instagram worthy! It was consistently busy, with folks wanting to capture beautiful memories in this place. It is wonderful that they serve delicious drinks & pastries! I have to say I enjoyed my latte & cookies enough to keep visiting them during my short stay in Montreal! A must-visit if you are in the area!

got a dirty chai & it was terrible if i'm being honest, & the giant oreo was just okay, but this place is so beautiful & such a great ambiance especially on the weekend in the evening so I will be coming back & hopefully I get a better drink :)
The atmosphere of this cafe is beautiful & charming. I ordered a hot chocolate & an espresso with almond croissant. The hot chocolate was good & not too sweet & . The espresso however was not nowhere near what I expected from a classic espresso. It was very acidic & the volume was very little overall you could barely call it espresso unless there are different definitions for this beverage.
