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.
Coffee is better than average but price is high. Service is good but nothing exceptional. Place is cute but a bit small, seats are not very comfortable. Overall good but has room for improvement.
Coffee was okey little over extracted at the time maybe because it was quite early in the morning & raining... I asked to pour left over milk in a singe espresso cup for my baby & they charged me $2.50... none of coffee shops ever charged me left over milk I just needed tiny amount for baby to sip. Not whole cup of milk. She said she understood what I needed but still cost $2.50.
I come here 3 days a week to get my coffee fix & order a flat white. The last two times, it tasted like warm milk with no expresso. Very disappointed. They seem to have some new baristas that don't make it the same.

Really nice small coffee place. Continuous line & for good reason. Quality coffee prepared well. Worth the 5-10 minute wait. Food options are unremarkable, same pastries as everywhere.

Average coffee shop with accommodating seating, quick service & reasonable prices. The baked goods were not particularly good & were rather dry & the drinks not very sweet against personal preference. There are double doors for entry & a few ledges to get in.
One of the best matcha's I've tasted in Montreal! The warm matcha with oat milk is very smooth, earthy & slightly sweet. For some reason, the iced version doesn't taste as good & as such, wouldn't recommend it. Very cute coffee shop, perfect for catching up with friends. It's quite small but has plugs & wifi for studying.

The scones were a really interesting find; not too sweet with an epic crust that dunks beautifully into coffee. One of the better coffees I've had from the quirky coffee shops around. Service was good but this is rather more a grab & go place because the chairs are not very comfy.
