Le Petit Dep comes across as a quirky, cozy cafe that blends a small boutique vibe with a warm, eclectic atmosphere in the Old Port, where the coffee and pastries are praised for quality, vegan and gluten free options are appreciated, and the selection of local goods is noted, while the space is often described as tight with limited seating and a strict no laptop policy that some reviews say is not clearly posted, causing occasional frustration with order accuracy, stock availability, and table cleaning, though many visitors still find the decor charming, the atmosphere welcoming, and the experience worthwhile for a quick visit, a cafe break, or a casual browse.
A very cute little cafe in Old Montreal. You can pick a sandwich out of the fridge & they can heat it for you. They are not made to order. If they are out of what you want, you are out of luck.
On the day we went, the man at the register would speak English to customers (who didn't know French), but then when their orders were ready he called them out in French. I could see the customers confusion, but he didn't notice. They had to get his attention & ask if it was theirs. To be fair, he was busy & I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it. It's likely just habit to speak French. I just don't think it classifies as 5 star customer service.
Personally, the service & the food quality make this a 3 star experience. It was fine as a quick stop when passing by, but I wouldn't seek it out.
I went to the St-Sulpice branch a few days ago, food was ok but a staff member shouted at me after I asked a simple question. I also visited the Plateau branch a few months ago & found the service disappointing; in both cases I felt unwelcome.
Service client irréprochable, les employés ont tous été adorables, mention particulière à Mathilde pour sa gentillesse & son latte art fabuleux ! Je reviendrais !

Great service & such a cute place to stop by. Please note they don't allow laptops I'm assuming so you don't hog the seating the entire day which is kinda nice since it is a busy area. Coffee & lattes are so good here just wish they had better sandwich options.
The coffee is ok, very sour for my taste, the hot chocolate wasn't hot or even taste like chocolate more like milk & very pricey for 8$ no chocolate taste. Nice decoration but not much space at the old port location. Pastries are ok.
It is very pretty inside with cute merch. The food & drinks are ok. I would not return as it is extremely busy with tourists, just for unimpressive food.
Un petit havre de paix à côté de la place d'armes!
Bon chocolat chaud & plusieurs choix de gâteaux.
Petite boutique bien fournie en produits locaux.
