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.
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!
Came here to study! Totally recommend. I got the matcha latte & it was super good. Atmosphere was traditional cafe vibes & there is free wifi & outlets everywhere.

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.
Awesome roaster. I've been buying their beans for months & would recommend them for those that make their own espresso at home. The coffee served in-store is certainly great as well, but the limited space makes the place feel crammed.
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.

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

I need another Melk in the West Island!! This is my fav coffee place by far & def recommend to everyone. Iced coffees are to die for. I've never brought anyone there & gotten a bad review!
Just woke up at the hotel & looking for a coffee, actually a good one (it's Saturday) , found this place on the map . Highly recommended , right now I started 2nd coffee.
