Overall the reviews for Mollo Café - Gelato mix praise for delicious beverages, gelato, and the vegan grilled cheese, with oat milk London Fog noted as tasty, while a number of comments mention a new location with uncomfortable seating, limited natural light, loud music, and a confusing layout that includes half walls and a communal table that can feel like a tripping hazard; perceived inconsistencies include grilled cheese quality and availability near closing, occasional slow service, and the sense that some items such as baked goods and coffee are strong; many describe friendly staff, a welcoming vibe, and a pleasant cafe feel, with some loving the spacious new location and the ambiance, though some reviewers note hours and access quirks; dogs not allowed inside is also mentioned in one review; overall the place emerges as a local favorite for drinks, gelato, and casual bites, with caveats about comfort and consistency.
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.
