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.

Good coffee & great muffins. The staff are a little too cool for school, but the place is cute & the service is quick enough.

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

Iced oat latte taste like americano, It feels like the right water, but you can't taste much of the oat milk flavor. I don't want to give a bad review, but it really doesn't taste good.

Je viens de déménager dans NDG & je cherchais un petit café. Excellent latte & café en grain à rapporter à la maison! ☕💚🤍

Great brew, though the scone was slightly overdone. It's crowded because folks use it like a library, grab one drink & camp out forever.

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.
