Nous avons ouvert notre premier café en 2013 avec la mission d’offrir du café de spécialité dans un environnement chaleureux et inclusif.
Durant notre expansion, nous avons vite compris qu’en tant que compagnie, notre engagement central était face à nos employés. C’est avec eux et grâce à eux que tout le reste est possible.
Dans l'ensemble, MELK Café est perçu comme un lieu chaleureux où les cafés de qualité et les viennoiseries comme scones, cookies et chocolatines sont très appréciés, avec une équipe sympathique et multilingue et un cadre cosy et lumineux; la clientèle loue l'atmosphère conviviale et le service attentif, mais plusieurs avis signalent des prix élevés et des tables parfois serrées, un bruit important et une fréquentation qui peut donner l'impression d'un espace coworking lorsque les ordinateurs portables prennent le dessus; certains critiques remarquent aussi des variations dans la constance du goût et du service, avec des expériences parfois excellentes et d'autres plus mitigées. En résumé, MELK Café ressort comme une adresse incontournable pour le café et les gourmandises, avec une décoration agréable et une ambiance accueillante, mais l'affluence et les coûts peuvent influencer l'expérience du moment.
I've been coming to this café for over 10 years. This is my place - my favorite coffee, my favorite atmosphere, my little ritual. But lately… what is going on?
Every time I try to come in, sit down with a friend, enjoy a coffee, read a book, or just relax with my child, I end up walking into what feels like a fully functioning coworking space. It's no longer a café - it's'Open Office 24/7.' Every table is taken by someone glued to a laptop for two, three, sometimes four hours. At this point I honestly feel like some of them should start paying rent.
I miss the atmosphere this place used to have - when you could actually find a table, enjoy the vibe, & connect with real people instead of feeling like you're interrupting someone's Zoom meeting.
Please consider making weekends laptop-free. No need for anything drastic - just give people who come here for the coffee, the warmth, & the community a chance to actually enjoy it without competing with a sea of glowing screens.
I love this café with all my heart. That's exactly why it's so sad to see it slowly turn into a tech hub instead of the cozy place it used to be.
Great coffee. Little expensive. Nice atmosphere. Beautiful interior. Decent service & very Anglo friendly. Don't like the minimum of 18% service charge, so often say no service now when taking away.
I've had multiple drinks from here & loved all of them! This spot is in a great location & had lovely interior designing. Great for a quick study spot or a place to grab a coffee with a friend. The Matcha was phenomenal as well!
Usually love this place. All the baristas are super friendly & nice to chat with. I reliably get a great drink made well every time I come in (a few times a week). The other day there was someone I'd never seen working who threw off the whole vibe (an older woman maybe mid 40s). She seemed friendly enough with customers but was rushing & stressing while making my drink. She also seemed to snap at the other people working which was very tense & weird to see. I'm not sure if she thought they were moving too slowly or doing something incorrectly but it was way more disruptive to have someone so visibly frustrated than it would've been to wait another minute for a drink. The chaotic energy felt more suited to a starbucks or fast food spot than the cozy local coffeeshop I'm used to. Hoping she was just a trainee (& there's always room to improve!) but, owning a business myself, I'm always happy to receive feedback & wanted to offer my own.
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

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.
