MELK Café Downtown, Montreal: Menu, Reviews & Reservations (2026)
CaféDesserts & SweetsGluten-free Options

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.

Review Summary

Overall, MELK Café is described as a cozy, small spot with excellent coffee, standout matcha and scones, and friendly, fast service that makes it a good place to work or study, though seating is limited and the space can feel crowded during peak times. The menu and drinks get high marks, pastries are often praised, and prices are generally considered reasonable, with some notes about the occasional pastry being a bit sweet or the espresso not having depth. A few reviews mention moments of inconsistent service or a busy, noisy atmosphere, and one highlights a tip prompt at payment, but the overall vibe is warm and the quality of drinks and snacks keeps people returning.

Came here to get out of the rain. The service was very kind, drinks were beautifully prepared. The space is small but cozy, with bathrooms in the parking garage connected to the cafe. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a good latte & dirty chai!

Coffee was good! I loved the overall aesthetic of the Cafe. Very comfortable & cozy with a fair amount of seating for people even though the overall area was rather small.

Loved the location, perfect as I am staying directly by it at the Sheraton. I would come back & try other items on the menu!

Stopped by Melk & absolutely loved it! The cappuccino was smooth & perfectly made, & the scones were fresh & delicious. Cozy spot with a warm vibe, definitely worth a visit if you're in Montreal.

Small but cozy coffee shop. Limited seating space but found a spare stool to wait out the rain. Maple latte was smooth & tasty.

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 always like going to Melk when in Montreal. A small shop that allows for limited seating has a cozy vibe. My go to is the matcha latte & all the snacks are delicious. I recommend going if you need a little pit stop from the crowds on St. Catherine.

Sortez de votre routine Starbuck ou Tim, ce petit café vaut le détour! Personnel ultra gentil! Café latté délicieux! J'ai pris un scone aux pommes. Habituellement je n'aime pas les scones, trop sec, mais celui-ci était simplement décadent! Tout frais sorti du four! L'ambiance est cozy & parfait avec un ami ou seul!

A small hole-in-the-wall cafe that offers excellently brewed coffee with friendly staff & a cozy interior.

Very nice personnel & cozy place but with limited seating. There are plugs & free wifi so one can work nicely without problem. However, the toilets are located outside the café, on the parking lot nextdoor which is not very convenient.

We were staying at the Sheraton Hotel nearby & decided to get some nice coffee. This place is super cozy, a little crowded but has solid drink options. I just wish the menu was a little bit easier to read, green on white isn't the easiest. We ordered the pumpkin spice latte as well as a flat white. It met expectations & was better than ordered from a Starbucks or coffee chain.
