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.
Great little coffee shop. Love the espressos, macchiatos, lattes, & the stock beans too.
I brought a KeepCup today for my order. The barista made sure to train the other person on staff the importance of filling the KeepCup with hot water. Kudos to the training of the staff, if this "minor" task is being trained, all the important won't be missed. That's why I keep coming back to Melk.
I got to know this cafe thanks to my girlfriend & now I am a regular customer. I'm not a coffee person but the iced latte with dulce de leche is really good for people like me who like their coffee not so strong & more sugary.
I used to order the cold brews from Lufa but this 2023 aren't available anymore so I decided to cancel my Lufa subscription.
I would be great for MELK to implement a loyalty card, most of us are loyal to this good coffee & support local shops. I would feel appreciated if there was these kind of promotions & programs.
While exploring cafes in Montreal, I dropped by this cafe today. The coffee was excellent, & it's a lovely spot to chill. But, honestly, I have no idea why the cashier was so grumpy! 😂 I've spent 8 years in the coffee industry, & I get how tough it can be, but this cashier took it to a whole new level!
Le coin parfait pour un excellent café le staff est vraiment accueillant & chaque boisson est aussi bonne que l'autre. Leurs muffins sont délicieux vraiment une place a essayer & adopter. Latte a l'érable ou latte matcha sont mes incontournables.
Bon café ☕

Obsessed with this cafe! Have been here almost day while on vacation. Great selection of gluten-free baked goods on a separate shelf from the regular baked goods - & they use separate tongs to make sure it is allergy & celiac safe. & their coffee?! AMAZING! Whether you get the plain filter coffee or a special drink - some of the best coffee downtown
