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.
Great little cafe with tons of unique items to try. Their food looked fantastic although we didn't try. The coffee was delicious & perfectly hot. The atmosphere was incredible. Like walking into a hidden gem off the street. Would definitely recommend as a great spot to go & relax with a cup or grab some coffee to continue your walk.
Very cute spot to grab a coffee & treat! Service was a bit slow but the place was packed which makes sense & didn't damper our day. Lots of great food & gift ideas as well. Love how cosy this place is, giving European vibes!
If you need a change from your larger portioned breakfast.... This place does some amazing pastry options. Not many seats inside but you can take away if you wish. Lovely atmosphere sharing a large bench table with other travellers & locals. Staff work really hard to service the constant queue of hungry visitors. Lots of options for drinks, but the freshly ground coffee was amazing.
Feels like a tourist trap - come, buy, leave. There are no toilets (which is odd since there are tables to sit down). I understand that some coffee places put a no-laptop policy on the weekends; but the staff should have enough judgement to allow the use of an iPad to write down notes for people who don't carry around paper/pen. Won't be coming back since there are so many nicer & more welcoming coffee shops around.

This is a fun & classic cafe! Their snacks & desserts are delicious, but I recommend the cupcake or chocolate croissant. They also have refrigerated & healthier options too if you need a quick health breakfast like chia seed pudding. We stopped here multiple times for a variety of things & the service was great. It's inside is very unique & worth a stop for a coffee or snack. They're open late night too, so if you need a last minute wine bottle or dessert check it out.
I visited on a weekend & as expected, the place was crowded. Upon walking in, there was not a very strong scent of coffee which kind of made me uneasy as it mostly serves coffee.
The interior is adorned with jams & other stuff they were selling. There is a very tight space between all the seats that makes it hard to navigate. I do hope they change the layout a little to make the crowd flow more effeciently.

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.
We stopped by for snacks & drinks after visiting Notre Dame. The staff was super friendly. I was trying to decide between a chocolate & coffee shake, & the barista said they could make me a chocolate shake with coffee. It was delicious! I also had a cheddar cheese & greens onions scone, which was also really good. My husband had a lemonade with honey. He said it wasn't sweet at all, so it wasn't his favorite. If you're nearby & want some refreshing drinks & parties, I definitely recommend stopping by!
A very pleasant place! The team here is wonderful - even during the busy Saturday morning rush, they were smiling & handled everything with great professionalism. Thank you for the delicious coffee & the lovely atmosphere!
Un endroit très agréable ! L'équipe est formidable - malgré l'affluence du samedi matin, ils sont restés souriants & ont tout géré avec beaucoup de professionnalisme. Merci pour le délicieux café & cette ambiance chaleureuse !
This is the kind of place you visit for the atmosphere! A quaint coffee shop full of character. We only tried a latte & a London fog, & both were delightful. Definitely worth a visit!
Our home away from home, Le Place D Armes, I was first drawn to get a coffee, excellant by the way. But we had many lunches as well. First night we got a lovely pinot & soft cheese to take back to our room. Delightful.
Love our experience here! One of the best coffee we had in Montreal. Service & food is also great! We had a matcha latte & london fog & they didn't disappoint! Place is really cute & spacious enough. We went April 2025 & there is construction in front so just beware.
