Review Summary

MELK Café is widely regarded as a standout destination in Montreal, celebrated primarily for its high-quality coffee, diverse latte options, and exceptional scones that many consider the best in the city. Guests frequently highlight the inviting atmosphere, beautiful latte art, and the consistently friendly and efficient service provided by the staff. While the space is often described as cozy and intimate, its small footprint can sometimes lead to crowded conditions and limited seating, which some visitors find challenging for longer stays. Despite occasional mixed feedback regarding the intensity of the roasts or the noise levels, the establishment remains a popular choice for both locals and travelers seeking a reliable spot to work, study, or enjoy a craft beverage in a pleasant environment.

Great little spot for a quick coffee & pastry. Lots of fun latte options (vanilla, marshmallow, maple syrup, & cetera).

Coffee was okey little over extracted at the time maybe because it was quite early in the morning & raining... I asked to pour left over milk in a singe espresso cup for my baby & they charged me $2.50... none of coffee shops ever charged me left over milk I just needed tiny amount for baby to sip. Not whole cup of milk. She said she understood what I needed but still cost $2.50.

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!

Der Kaffee ist gut, eher mild als stark. Auch mit doppeltem Espresso Shot wenig Unterschied. Es gibt Milchalternativen, die Bedienung ist freundlich und die Atmosphäre angenehm. Auch wird eine kleine Auswahl an Gebäck geboten.

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.

I come here 3 days a week to get my coffee fix & order a flat white. The last two times, it tasted like warm milk with no expresso. Very disappointed. They seem to have some new baristas that don't make it the same.
