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.

Yo Anna & Sarah, I told you I'd post this.

MELK is great; it feels like there's 100 different people working there, but they're all delightful. The coffee is top-tier, the atmosphere is great, & if you want to chat, the staff will bounce fun banter off you. But if you just want to keep quiet & grab a good coffee, they'll do that too.

Great spot overall, dogs, good music vibes, fun place to get work done, nice terrace.

You'll even learn the names of the ladies working there, & you might even promise them you'll write a Google Review.

You can't go wrong at MELK. It's like if CHEERS from that show CHEERS was a coffee shop.

Cheers,
Ty

Really cute coffee shop but unfortunately the coffee taste isn't consistent (same for matcha). I still end up going because it's a 50/50 chance of having a nice cup or a burnt one 🥲. Overall workers are sweet & the shop is always clean & comfortable

Really nice coffee shop with great iced oat latte & carrot muffin.
Interior is beautiful & there is a cute sitting area outside too

Good service & a beautifully designed interior, but the cappuccino was one of the weakest I've had-barely any foam. For a high-end third-wave coffee shop, it was a disappointing experience.

Good vibes at the coffee shop, a place that you can tell people come to do work, very small space & tables though. There were literally rows of people on laptops inside, me being one of them. Space was clean & cool inside.

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.
