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 love their lavender & dulce de leche lattes, & their coffees overall. What I did find somewhat off putting is the fact that you are immediately presented with a tip prompt when you go to pay.

Such a cool little cafe. It has a nice amount of seating, including benches with a table, seats with a table, & bar type seats.
The pomme scone was delicious, & the brownie was perfection.
The latte was really nice, but the maple latte was the perfect amount of sweet & not overwhelming. I will go back for that latte alone!
They have a good variety of drinks at a reasonable price. The people working there were super kind. They speak English & French perfectly. We were able to switch between the two languages flawlessly.
They will be seeing my partner & I again!

Awesome roaster. I've been buying their beans for months & would recommend them for those that make their own espresso at home. The coffee served in-store is certainly great as well, but the limited space makes the place feel crammed.

Excellent espresso drinks! Kind staff, but super tiny location. You are falling over one another in line.

The Stanley location is really small, more of a place to grab on the go, but overall a nice cafe. The only thing I didn't like was how loud they played the music.

There are some ups & downs to this one but overall a good spot. The two things that docked it for us were the noise & cround. I know you cant do much about the amount of people in there but the way the sound bounced around the tiny room really made it hard to talk. That being said, it had a nice atmosphere otherwise with light design & greenery. The main thing that matters is how the coffee is & the coffee was pretty good. They let us have a sample of the coldbrew before ordering which was great. In general the staff was super friendly & fast for how many people were in there.

Such a cute spot to grab some coffee or matcha! This was the best matcha I had on my Montreal trip & the service was impeccable. Small spot but lots of character.
