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 stylish, cozy spot with excellent coffee and friendly, multilingual staff. Passion for the beverages is evident with praise for matcha, chai, and a standout cappuccino, and cookies, scones, and banana bread are frequently highlighted as tasty treats. Prices are sometimes described as a bit high, with muffins, scones, and other snacks cited as pricey, though many feel the quality justifies it. The interior and atmosphere are repeatedly praised as warm and inviting, and some reviewers rate it as among the best cafes in the area. Crowding and noise can be an issue, especially on weekend mornings, with tables small and often taken by laptops, shifting the vibe toward a coworking feel. A few comments touch on inconsistency in drink taste or service and on a service charge, but overall staff are friendly and attentive. The place is noted for its versatile seating and occasional outdoor area, with decor and a photo above the bar earning compliments.

I've had multiple drinks from here & loved all of them! This spot is in a great location & had lovely interior designing. Great for a quick study spot or a place to grab a coffee with a friend. The Matcha was phenomenal as well!

Usually love this place. All the baristas are super friendly & nice to chat with. I reliably get a great drink made well every time I come in (a few times a week). The other day there was someone I'd never seen working who threw off the whole vibe (an older woman maybe mid 40s). She seemed friendly enough with customers but was rushing & stressing while making my drink. She also seemed to snap at the other people working which was very tense & weird to see. I'm not sure if she thought they were moving too slowly or doing something incorrectly but it was way more disruptive to have someone so visibly frustrated than it would've been to wait another minute for a drink. The chaotic energy felt more suited to a starbucks or fast food spot than the cozy local coffeeshop I'm used to. Hoping she was just a trainee (& there's always room to improve!) but, owning a business myself, I'm always happy to receive feedback & wanted to offer my own.

Good drinks & pasteries. We enjoyed the matcha latte, cappuccino, carrot cake & cherry lemon scone. About 25 seats. Gets quite busy & loud on a Saturday am.

Melk on Monkland is a great neighborhood cafe. the coffee drinks are certainly passable but please note: their coffee beans for sale are not in the same league as ones you would get from Pista, St. Henri, or Detour - on the Francophone side of town. These are truly mediocre (& expensive) in spite of the fancy descriptions & beautiful packaging. Believe me, I have tried a bunch hoping this was not the case. All in all a nice neighborhood spot though.

It is really cozy european coffee place. A lot of options & nice options for milk alternative. It is really busy it is not guaranted the place to sit. There is free water to drink that is such a great thing because coffee dehydrates. The stuff is kind & smiley. Thank you

Been coming here for years & drink quality has gone down significantly over the past year. It used to be the coffee would be very acidic when hot, then cool down & become more flavorful. Now the acidity & bitterness continue increasing as the drink cools.

Cute lil café with lots of beverages & snacks! I got a large hot chocolate with dark chocolate & marshmallow, & it tasted very good! Very busy on a Saturday morning, but they serve your drink quite quickly, & they fill it to the brim (I had to drink a few sips before I took my photo, otherwise it would've spilt). Hot chocolate with tip was 6.54$ :)

Cozy cafe with yummy drinks, but a bit pricey & limited seating. Will return though!

Cherche un boisson refraichissant sans caffeine? Prenez le thé rooibos glacée. Il n'ont pas du limonade malheureusement! 🍋 (la prochaine fois). Mon ami•e a pris le matcha glacée. Le café sens tellement délicieux donc je dois retourner pendant le matin pour le prendre. ☕️ il y a des places pour s'asseoir de hors ou à l'intérieur. J'aime beaucoup le vert & les tabourets coloureux. Merci! Looking for a refreshing drink that's caffeine free? Have the iced rooibos tea. They unfortunately didn't have lemonade 🍋 (next time). My friend took the iced matcha tea. The coffee smelled so yummy so I will have to return in the morning to have a cup ☕️ there is places to sit outside or inside. I like the green packaging & the colourful stools outside. Thank you! Bonus: il y a des ampoules sur un chaîne 💡 there are light bulbs on a string (don't know if they have a different name haha 😂) Double bonus: il y a une rampe à l'entrée (mais j'ai vu juste les escaliers devant. C'est curieux).
