MELK Café Monkland Village, Montreal: 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

Reviews describe MELK Café as a place with excellent coffee and pastries, a cozy interior, and a friendly, approachable staff, making it a popular spot for studying or catching up with friends. Many praise the consistency of drinks and baked goods, including muffins and scones, while noting that prices can be a bit high. The café can feel busy due to limited seating and a lively atmosphere, which some patrons enjoy and others find overwhelming. A recurring observation is a shift toward a coworking vibe on weekends, prompting some to call for more laptop free hours to preserve the cafe experience. It remains a favorite for coffee lovers despite occasional noise and a few service quirks.

Great coffee & atmosphere. Very spacious. Knocked one star off for food because I haven't tried their selection of pastries. Lovely place to work - very bright & plenty of sunlight with outdoor seating.

Nice cafe on Monkland. Service was quick & efficient. Coffee is good, prices are a bit high. Lots of pastries if you want something to eat. Seating is quite limited & the tables are quite small & close together.

Great 3rd wave filter coffee (on the darker side but not French roast), pastries Coffee seems consistently good across the other spots in the chain. This location is spacious enough to host one's study session or a date but feels less local

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.

One of my favorite coffee places in Montreal. Only thing is it is small so sometimes you might not find a place to sit... Other than that, the coffee is really good, service & even their little pastries! The milk chocolate banana muffin 🧁 was a delight 💜

A bit pricey but the coffee is nice, love that they have maple flavoring. What really makes it good is the vegan options! The vegan brownie (with I think walnuts & fudge inside) & the chewy lavender lemon cookie are soooo delicious & it's hard finding vegan pastries in the neighborhood. The only reason I didn't give this a higher rating- & I did want to- is they allow dogs inside. Dogs do not belong where food is prepared & served.

Very friendly & very patient, even when 3 kids didn't know what they wanted from the pastries!
