The drink program is described as strong, with creative cocktails and well balanced coffee drinks, and a good selection of wines and beers, though some guests wish for more beer options.

A very cozy place with pleasant furniture & clean decor. It is spacious, so you do not feel squeezed between tables. No clutter & that allows the customer to enjoy the coziness. The beautiful lights (👍) are a great way to create an inviting environment, a fact neglected by many restaurants, eateries & coffee places in the city. The service was excellent & the food was truly delicious. The vegetarian burger had a perfect consistency (most of the time, veggie burgers are soggy or too dry). The fries flavoured with garlic were a delight & those who love spicy mayonnaise, you have it. The veggie tartare (beets) was nicely seasoned & balanced. The plain plates were a nice blue, allowing to showcase the colours of the dishes. The American IPA Les Trois Lettres, 6.5%, is an excellent IPA with a perfect amount of bitterness & earthy scents. Great experience! P.S. Just a tiny suggestion: some minimalist flower pots for some of the plants in the window would be a nice addition. 😊

It has a nice ambience but food was awful. I got El Pablo. Fried chicken wasn't eatable. It was too fried that became hard. Potato was the same. It looks like they just warm up a left over food. I though maybe because it was 2:30 pm & too late for brunch. Service wan't that good either. They forgot my request to re-fill my coffee & brought the bill.

Whenever I visit Montreal I come to Monk Cafe & absolutely love it. I come with friends, or to just sit & write while enjoying a coffee or cocktail. Aside from the delicious food & beautiful decor, the staff are so nice & welcoming which is the best part of all.

Excellent little Cafe on boulevard Monk, which is a very cute area. We went for breakfast with a group of 4 people & did not wait for a table. The service was exceptional with really thoughtful, attentive & kind staff attending to our needs. Coffee was amazing. I had a double shot of their blend, had great notes of berry & dark chocolate. Breakfast was so delicious & good value for the proportions. I had the Classic Breakfast & ate like royalty. The homemade mayo was great too for the potatoes. Eggs were buttery yum The ambience is a nice blend of Breakfast Cafe meet Cafe night life with a full bar. Overall would highly recommend & I will be returning A++++

Ordered the breakfast sandwich with fried chicken, comes with a side of potatoes. Friend ordered coffee. I had an oat chai latte. Everything was so delicious & flavourful! Decor great. Service attentive. Food was wonderful. Great little spot in Ville Emard.

The place is nice, the service is cordial. But after 40 minutes of waiting for our food, we got up ad asked. The cook had not even started! The coffee was great though & love the plant smorgasbord

Great food, coffee & service!! Just wish they had more on tap than West Shelford. They should team up with cinqasept for some good local microbrews

Brunch with friends. Loved it. The shakshouka wasn't exactly authentic but it was tasty enough. Needed more feta. Good coffee, good vibes.
