MELK Café Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
CaféDesserts & SweetsGluten-free Options

We opened our first cafe in 2013 with the mission of offering specialty coffee in a warm and inclusive environment.

During our expansion, we quickly understood that as a company, our central commitment was to our employees. It is with them and thanks to them that everything else is possible.

Review Summary

Overall, MELK Café is described as a cozy inviting spot with strong coffee and a reputation for tasty home style snacks and fresh scones. Reviewers praise drinks like dulce de leche latte, lavender latte, chai and matcha, and note excellent latte art and quick friendly service in many visits. The pastry selection gets frequent praise with many loving the variety of scones such as everything bagel with cream cheese, lemon cherry and chocolate blueberry, though some say they can sell out early. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable and good for studying or working, but seating is limited and the space can feel crowded and noisy during busy times. Service quality is mixed in a few cases, and a few comments mention a prompt for tipping at payment and occasional lapses in attentiveness. A handful of critiques point to milder or flat coffee profiles and higher prices, yet many call MELK Café among the best in Montreal and a worthwhile visit for those seeking good coffee and standout baked goods.

The latte has a rich, creamy flavor & tastes really good. Love the scone & carrot cake, especially the cake 🍰

Delicious scone (not too sweet!) & cold brew. The only downside is there's no washroom available in the cafe.

A small hole-in-the-wall cafe that offers excellently brewed coffee with friendly staff & a cozy interior.

Great staff, she even threw a pinch of cinnamon when I've asked for a pumpkin latte & she said that they wouldn't make those anymore, cute place & I was lucky to grab a place to sit.

Very nice personnel & cozy place but with limited seating. There are plugs & free wifi so one can work nicely without problem. However, the toilets are located outside the café, on the parking lot nextdoor which is not very convenient.

Friendly & fast service. Coffee decent. Lovely space. Was open on Easter Sunday which was a bonus as a lot of downtown Montreal places were closed. Coffee beans for sale. Didn't eat anything but there were yummy looking pastries & biscotti's

BEAUTIFUL cafe, with a vibrant & friendly staff! Incredible lattes, scones, & atmosphere overall. I tried the citron scone so much that I ordered one of each kind of scone they had! I was not disappointed! Only wish there was more seating, but the latte art was unique on each latte we ordered, & the different coloured saucers were a beautiful edition. Will definitely come again!

I need another Melk in the West Island!! This is my fav coffee place by far & def recommend to everyone. Iced coffees are to die for. I've never brought anyone there & gotten a bad review!
