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.

Staff were friendly & attentive they have the best scones in Montreal I highly recommend all bagels scones for savory & the dark chocolate for sweet but all scones I've tried are pretty delicious unfortunately their white chocolate & cherry scones are no longer available which was my favorite.

There are some ups & downs to this one but overall a good spot. The two things that docked it for us were the noise & cround. I know you cant do much about the amount of people in there but the way the sound bounced around the tiny room really made it hard to talk. That being said, it had a nice atmosphere otherwise with light design & greenery. The main thing that matters is how the coffee is & the coffee was pretty good. They let us have a sample of the coldbrew before ordering which was great. In general the staff was super friendly & fast for how many people were in there.

Absolutely love the decaf beans, though I could tell that everyone else was enjoying their caffeinated drinks. Friendly staff. Highly recommend this place.

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

BEAUTIFUL cafe, with a vibrant & friendly staff! Incredible lattes, scones, & atmosphere overall. I tried the citron scone so much that I ordered one of each kind of scone they had! I was not disappointed! Only wish there was more seating, but the latte art was unique on each latte we ordered, & the different coloured saucers were a beautiful edition. Will definitely come again!
