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.
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!

The matcha is good, but it was overpriced considering I ordered a large iced coffee & matcha, & the matcha cup was smaller.
The'bio-milk' they use is nothing special besides your regular grocery, affordable milk. At the very least, I thought it would be one of those fancy, expensive grocery milks.
The pastries are also good, but are just a bit too sweet for my taste.
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 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.

Average coffee shop with accommodating seating, quick service & reasonable prices. The baked goods were not particularly good & were rather dry & the drinks not very sweet against personal preference. There are double doors for entry & a few ledges to get in.
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.
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 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.
