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.

We were staying at the Sheraton Hotel nearby & decided to get some nice coffee. This place is super cozy, a little crowded but has solid drink options. I just wish the menu was a little bit easier to read, green on white isn't the easiest. We ordered the pumpkin spice latte as well as a flat white. It met expectations & was better than ordered from a Starbucks or coffee chain.

I love this place! First time I went was at the location on Monkland in 2018 when I first moved to Montreal. After relocating downtown, I was happy to find Melk nearby! I come from a coffee enthusiast family, so I take my coffee seriously. Whenever I order a decaf oat latte to go, or a decide to be adventurous with a regular full caff drink, I melt into the first sip & stop in my tracks to appreciate moment. Who knew coffee could be so grounding? I've also had the matcha, but I come back for the coffee. I've only sat in here 2-3 times because of how busy it can get for such a small cafe, but I'd say the window seat gives you the most peace & privacy! As for the pastries, they offer gluten-free options, banana bread, carrot apple loaf, cookies, bars, & whatever is on hand at the time. I don't always go for snacks, but from what I can tell, the availabilities change. They also have a tiny fridge under the counter with juice & other bottled beverages. I bought two bags of beans, local, to gift to my family. The tasting notes were interesting for a lot of the options available, but I was able to ask the enthusiastic barista for a recommendation based on preparation style & preferred notes. Always a treat!
