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.

As soon as you open the door, the aroma that permeates the air is a double enjoyment of vision & smell.

But the coffee is bitter, even with sugar, it's still so bitter that I doubt my life.

Very cute shop; went for the scones! They were fine; moist & well made but perhaps lacking in a flavour oomph (especially for the apple scone). The lattes, though, were excellent! There were only two flavours & the shop was busy. Go early!

J'avais peut-être des attentes trop élevées, mais je n'y retournerai pas. Le café & l'ambiance étaient ordinaires & il faisait chaud. & c'est pas donné. Bref, expérience très bof.

A cute little shop, nice to have a quick grab. The store is pretty small so it took a while to get the drink & not too many seats. I do like my ice latte. 🙂

One of the servers this morning was rude to me. He didn't want to serve me for any reasons & kept washing dishes. The barista who were supposed to do the coffees only, saw the situation & came himself to take the order. The rude server then shout at me'receipt'? Who does that & what was his problem?? The Latte I took was terrible. Only milk & I couldn't feel a drop of coffee.
