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, 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.
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!
Cute cafe with cute aesthetics. Their matcha latte is pretty good. My go-to is getting it with almond milk & less sweet. Pretty tempted to get some merch here as well.
My favorite cafe!! The drinks are amazing, highly recommend the dulce de leche latte or any of their specialty drink depending on the season. Their chai is also very good! It's small but I always find a seat to study & there's also free WiFi. The music might be a bit loud for some people & there's a lot of people going in & out which might be distracting but I personally don't mind. The baristas are always very nice & froth milk perfectly. Highly recommend!
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!
I was staying near by on a trip to Montreal so I stopped here twice for my morning beverage. First day I had the vanilla latte, it was perfect. Second day I had the iced matcha latte. It was also good but also not the best I've had. All in all, I would go back.
Ordered a soy latte takeaway which was excellent. Incredibly busy (went at 11am on a weekday) & cramped place though. Despite this, staff do an excellent job at turnover the orders (waited about 5-8 minutes for my order, not bad consider there were 10 ppl waiting when I arrived). Probably wouldn't recommend coming if you are looking for a quiet spacious place to catch up with a friend.
Their matcha lattes & chai lattes are wonderful! The staff is really kind too & they actually listen to their clients. The place is a little tight but it "works" & goes with the overall vibe.
Charmant tout petit café au centre-ville ! La décoration est sympa & c'est le logo qui m'a attiré en passant devant ! J'ai commandé un iced chaï latte délicieux, le scone aussi très bon :) la limonade maison était à mon goût un peu trop sucré. Le service est très agréable :)
I really wanted a good cup of latte during my visit to Montreal & I'm so glad I dropped by here - the scones aren't too sweet (which is what I like) & it pairs so well with their delicious latte.
The scones! One of the most unique & tastiest scones I've ever had. It is more buttery, with a denser muffin like texture on the center. Then they have sugar crystals on the top to provide a really nice crunch! I ordered the banana & milk chocolate bread & you could still taste the notes of both behind the butteriness. I also ordered a decaf soy milk latte. The decaf was processed without chemicals & is organic. It's so good. Just the location is a bit small & not where expected. But I It adds to the uniqueness of the place.
