Overall, reviews describe Mollo Café Gelato as a place with excellent drinks, standout gelato, and enjoyable grilled cheese options, including vegan choices, with friendly service and a relaxing vibe; some praise the spacious, bright atmosphere and working-friendly setup, while others criticize the new location for uncomfortable seating, dark lighting, and a confusing layout with a central communal table that can feel risky or disruptive; there are occasional complaints about slow or inconsistent service and even that grilled cheese can be frozen, but many also note great coffee, pastries, and a welcoming neighborhood feel, making it a popular casual stop despite adjustments in space and hours.
Really don't like their new location: seating is uncomfortable & positioned far from any natural light; once again - the music is too loud. The whole restaurant just seems dark, with a weird layout of half walls & that communal table in the middle of the room is ridiculous & a tripping hazard when people leave their backpack on the floor near their chair.

J'adore le Mollo! Très bon café. Déçu par contre du changement de local puisque la disposition des lieux offre peu d'endroits intéressants où s'asseoir.
Belle découverte au Café Mollo à Pointe-Saint-Charles. J'avais des attentes plutôt modestes, mais j'ai été sincèrement agréablement surpris.
Nous avons pris un milkshake à la vanille préparé avec leur gelato maison & du lait d'avoine (option végétale disponible). La vendeuse m'a rassuré sur la texture avant que je commande - & j'ai bien fait de lui faire confiance : super onctuosité, équilibre parfait, vraiment excellent. La glace maison est délicieuse.
Le cookie, sablé & bien sucré, correspondait exactement à ce que j'aime. Ma fiancée le préfère plus fondant, façon pâte à cookie, mais elle savait que ce style-là me plairait. & c'était le cas.
Service très courtois, personnel disponible. L'ambiance est cool, détendue. On a mangé sur les bancs à l'extérieur, mais l'intérieur est accueillant & la boutique offre un joli choix de merch.
Une belle adresse de quartier à découvrir, que je recommande sans hésiter.

WOW....The flat white was superb, this place is a real Jem. Super clean very friendly 👌 coffee is the best, ill be coming back very soon & you should too!!
One of the best coffee places in town for serious coffee lovers. A good selection of beans, & the baristas are top-notch. It's a hidden gem for coffee lovers.
I went there to have my very first affogato, & it was delicious! I took the oreo/caramel gelato option. I also got an iced matcha latte, that was always very good.
