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.
Best hot beverages in all of Montreal, scones are to die for, crispy on the outside, moist & tender on the inside. Many other tasty snack options available like their yogurt&granola.
Super cute cafe if you want to have it'for here'.
All the baristas are very nice.
Service is consistent, friendly & reasonably quick.

Les cafés Melk sont mes préférés dans tout Montréal. Les scones & les cookies sont tout aussi délicieux. J'achète également mes grains de cafés la bas & pour avoir testé beaucoup de torréfacteurs, je trouve que ce sont également parmi les meilleurs grains. Je recommande vivement pour tout fan de cafés !
I had the best blueberry scones there. Their matcha with macademic milk is also really good.
Atmosphere is vibrant.
Service is good; they aren't too chatty, just simple & very direct.
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.
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.
The scones are delicious! A must if you're a scone lover. I had blueberries & dark chocolate. Muffins are very good also! The coffee blend is too acidic for me. But that's just preference.

5. Great spot with lots of delicious treats & seasonal specials. Good mix of tables & booths & lots of folks working as well as socializing. Many options for coffee, tea, & matcha- & a variety of alternative milks. Really loved the iced chai! The baked goods were great- they had 2 types of savory scones which is rare, & wonderful! Not many vegan baked goods available. Friendly staff & nice space.
There is not always space to sit & enjoy your coffee. We usually get it to go. The everything bagel scone is the best savoury scone & I highly recommend.

Awesome flat whites & great choice of scones & muffin in a well lit local with a gorgeous patio. I come here often & it's always a pleasure. Only drawback, there's often a wait. It's the price to pay for greatness!
Love this coffee shop, staff is always amazing & their coffee/matcha is very good too, however there’s a flies problem & it’s annoying & disgusting, especially when we see them on the scones, cookies etc. � hopefully there will be something done to fix this issue.
