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.
The coffee is great. But the music is exceptional: whoever curates the playlist / nudges Spotify in a certain direction is overseeing the best cafe tunes around
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
