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.
Their matcha latte & scones are simply the best. They bake several batches of fresh scones throughout the day. The cheddar, everything bagel with cream cheese, & chocolate blueberry scones are just so good. You do need to go in early though as after 2pm they are usually all sold out. Worth the trip!

Come for the scones. There's coffee too, but the espresso falls flat. There's no depth to the roast. It's easy drinking you could say. Coffee for the non-coffee drinker. The everything scone tho… it's a thing of beauty. Wasn't expecting the cream cheese baked into it. Wonderful touch. The dough was a bit overworked & tough but that's a small nitpick on a great offering. Will come back for another.
Good coffee, we always buy their beans for coffee at home. I like their scones & muffins. However, it's an in & out coffeeshop, the place is too small.
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.
Such a cool little cafe. It has a nice amount of seating, including benches with a table, seats with a table, & bar type seats.
The pomme scone was delicious, & the brownie was perfection.
The latte was really nice, but the maple latte was the perfect amount of sweet & not overwhelming. I will go back for that latte alone!
They have a good variety of drinks at a reasonable price. The people working there were super kind. They speak English & French perfectly. We were able to switch between the two languages flawlessly.
They will be seeing my partner & I again!
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.

Very cute shop; went for the scones! They were fine; moist & well made but perhaps lacking in a flavour oomph (especially for the apple scone). The lattes, though, were excellent! There were only two flavours & the shop was busy. Go early!
the best scone I've ever tried specially the lemon cherry one, the cortado also was well done & has a strong taste. I loved it so much & planing to come back definitely
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!
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 everything scone was really nice. The 3 chocolate hot chocolate was also very tasty. The only thing that was not a 5 out of 5 was the straight espresso. I prefer lighter, more acidic & fruit espresso. This was darker & more bitter. Not bad, just not to my preference.
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.
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.
We ordered a latte (very good), iced chai latte (just ok), cheddar scone (a little old), & lavender lemon cookie (delicious!!). Nice staff & fast enough service. Cute little cafe!!
