Le Monk café est plusieurs choses sous le même toit. Un café de spécialité, un endroit idéal pour les brunchs, l’apéro, le souper ou tout simplement prendre un verre en partageant quelques plats.
Monk Café Buvette receives praise for a cozy, airy atmosphere, friendly staff, and a versatile menu that suits coffee breaks, brunch, and dinners. Dishes like tartares, burgers, eggs benedict, and salmon, along with homemade jams and a notable espresso martini or standout cocktails, are frequently mentioned as delicious. 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. Service is often described as attentive and welcoming, though a few reviews mention slower service during busy times. Overall Monk Café Buvette is seen as a neighborhood treasure delivering quality ingredients, thoughtful presentation, and a lively, friendly vibe, with many planning to return.
Unfortunately I had a couple of really bad service experiences. One of which the server forgot several items - including a drink- & was chatting with her colleague when I tried to get their attention - which is fine but, when I kindly asked for the missing items they said'ok jai oublie' in a very passive aggressive tone. Kind of mediocre. Another time someone butt in line in front of my friend & the cafe attendant ( I think the same person ) served the other person first ?!?! She waited but, when her turn came the server snarled at her… anyway. I like the evening menu & I've had some good experiences -including good service experience- in the past but, not recently.

Great restaurant, i love going there for brunch. The service is always amazing & the food is great, everything tastes fresh. The coffee is so good too.
Went last night for dinner. My wife & I had the menu a partager. Wonderful experience from start to finish & the food was absolutely delicious. Very reasonably priced considering the great level of care & quality of ingredients. We are new to the area & excited to have found such a gem of a neighbourhood spot. We will be back!
Wonderful, airy atmosphere with lots of light. High quality, well-seasoned ingredients: tofu, bacon, avocado, toast (you know how you get the flimsiest Pom toast at some brunch joints?). Beats a chain brunch spot in every way.
Amaaaaazing spot !! A huge thanks to our bartender JP for the great homemade drinks (pear margaritas YUMMY) Service quick & friendly. Highly recommended !!!!
Super d'avoir ce genre d'endroit sur Monk, qui manque cruellement d'offre.
La bouffe est bonne, le service & l'ambiance sont super également.
Seul hic, la bière West Shefford est loin de la qualité de la compétition à Montreal, & le bar n'offre rien d'autre. Ça serait bien d'avoir au minimum quelques bières invitées, sinon c'est direction Messorem ou Memento pour les fans de bière.
(J'ai changé mon score, je préfère focuser sur le positif, je veux encourager les business de qualité dans le quartier, & j'apprécie votre réponse. Bon succès!)
