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 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.

Le serveur a gentiment accepté de modifier mon type de lait à la dernière minute. Je recommande, ils sont chouettes !

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!
