We opened our first cafe in 2013 with the mission of offering specialty coffee in a warm and inclusive environment.
During our expansion, we quickly understood that as a company, our central commitment was to our employees. It is with them and thanks to them that everything else is possible.
Overall, MELK Café is described as a cozy inviting spot with strong coffee and a reputation for tasty home style snacks and fresh scones. Reviewers praise drinks like dulce de leche latte, lavender latte, chai and matcha, and note excellent latte art and quick friendly service in many visits. The pastry selection gets frequent praise with many loving the variety of scones such as everything bagel with cream cheese, lemon cherry and chocolate blueberry, though some say they can sell out early. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable and good for studying or working, but seating is limited and the space can feel crowded and noisy during busy times. Service quality is mixed in a few cases, and a few comments mention a prompt for tipping at payment and occasional lapses in attentiveness. A handful of critiques point to milder or flat coffee profiles and higher prices, yet many call MELK Café among the best in Montreal and a worthwhile visit for those seeking good coffee and standout baked goods.
Such a cute spot to grab some coffee or matcha! This was the best matcha I had on my Montreal trip & the service was impeccable. Small spot but lots of character.
The matcha is good, but it was overpriced considering I ordered a large iced coffee & matcha, & the matcha cup was smaller.
The'bio-milk' they use is nothing special besides your regular grocery, affordable milk. At the very least, I thought it would be one of those fancy, expensive grocery milks.
The pastries are also good, but are just a bit too sweet for my taste.
One of the servers this morning was rude to me. He didn't want to serve me for any reasons & kept washing dishes. The barista who were supposed to do the coffees only, saw the situation & came himself to take the order. The rude server then shout at me'receipt'? Who does that & what was his problem?? The Latte I took was terrible. Only milk & I couldn't feel a drop of coffee.
Very good coffee generally & a great reputation. The chocolate wasn't mixed well in my mocha leaving a bunch of half-melted chocolate at the bottom so a little disappointed there. Will come back to try again though
A cozy spot for an afternoon coffee or matcha. The staff are very nice & remembers my preferences. It can get super busy in the morning of work days. I would probably not come during that time, because the line can get quite long & the wait time as well. Their cookies are also quite tasty. They pair well with their Latte, but maybe a bit too sweet when eaten by themselves.
I liked the banana bread ,it was not too sweet , & the oat milk latté was great! You take your coffee from the counter & find a spot to sit down. Washroom is located outside of the coffeeshop, in a public parking lot ,which I didn't find it convenient as it was not clean!
