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.
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.
Perfect petit café. My latte was perfect.👌 The flavour was rich. It was hot & it came with a heart. I tried a Blueberry-chocolate chip scone which was very good too. My friend had a cafe alongé with warmed milk, but she said mine was better.
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.
Dommage que certain en fasse un bureau personnel & bloquent des tables pendant 3h en prenant seulement un cafe ...alors que d'autres personnes attendent ou partent dans un autre café ...
Le scone pomme cannelle est délicieux comme tout le reste de leur pâtisseries.
Café tenu par des jeunes , manque un peu de politesse , & de concentration dans les commandes.
Love my Vanilla Latte from here, usually I would go for a savoury scone (Cheddar, Onion & Cumin). But recently tried the berry & oranges which was pretty good too. I would say it is bit on the pricey side- I ended up spending like $12 for a Small latte & a scone.

Melk is the best! Every single staff member is so friendly & wonderful, & they make such great coffee! It's always such an amazing start of my day to stop in for my morning latte. Thank you so much to the entire Melk team, I hope to keep seeing you for many years to come!
I absolutely loved my time at MELK Cafe! The service was amazing, & the place is just adorable - the perfect little cozy spot. It's also super kid-friendly, especially with those delightful macaroons! My kids shared a hot chocolate while I enjoyed a matcha latte, & we spent a lovely afternoon just hanging out together. I can't recommend MELK enough for a date night or a family outing - it's truly a charming spot that everyone will enjoy!
This place gets crowded like the downtown location. It is much bigger though. The decaf soy latte I got here was much more roasted than the one I remember having downtown. There are about 11 tables or so to work from & a small front outdoor patio. It's cozy. The pastries here are bomb. They are not organic like the coffee is, but so good.

I love their fresh scones, which are baked on site daily, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside & very low sugar, great to compliment with a Macadamia-Nut-Milk Latte. Temperature & consistency of the latte is always perfect. The Lavender Latte is very unique, but a bit too sweet for my taste. The venue is small indoors so seating is hit or miss, but they do have a nice outdoor seating area which works well, temperature permitting.

Polite staff & exceptional service! Fantastic atmosphere to relax in on a cold October day! I highly recommend the Maple latte for those who like it sweet! ☕🍁
A nice & always packed place. The Macha latte was good, although it was the first time I had one of those. Still prefer latte or vanilla latte, which they got. The fruit muffin was the greatest. I would recommend trying this place out if you are in the area, but expect taking out unless you are lucky to find space or share the table with others.
