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.

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.

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

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!!
