Reviews describe Muru Crêpe as a charming Totoro themed café in Old Montreal with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that suits families and travelers alike. Crepes are praised for being light, golden, and slightly crisp at the edges, with standout options like the crème brûlée crepe and matcha tiramisu crepe, alongside a wide range of sweet and savory choices. Latte art and visually striking drinks, including rose latte and hojicha and matcha beverages, appear frequently in praise along with strong coffee and tea. The decor is repeatedly noted as adorable and Instagram ready, perfectly matching the Studio Ghibli Totoro theme. Service is described as friendly and efficient, though the small space can lead to wait times and occasional slower pacing when busy. Some reviews mention prices as a bit high for portions, but many feel the quality, atmosphere, and experience justify the cost. Fans of the theme often call it a must visit and say they would return for the charming environment and tasty crepes.
The cutest ghibli cafe in Montreal! This place is mainly for breakfast, lunch, & dessert. They have plenty of drink & food options. We tried their signature creme brulee crepe & also their matcha latte with a special totoro latte art. Everything tasted super delicious . The atmosphere is super cozy & the decorations are so cute! Theres mainly totoro stuff. Would totally recommend if you're walking around old port
Cute little café with good options for a quick breakfast. The food is tasty, but the menu & seating capacity are both quite limited, which is the only downside.

This place was a happy accident to find the last night of our trip we made a special trip for our last breakfast in Montreal it did not disappoint real fun place if you're a fan of the movie as we were
Wow, what a gem! We stopped in for breakfast while visiting the Old Port & it was honestly one of the highlights of our weekend. The service was outstanding - super personal, friendly, & so attentive, it really made us feel welcome. The crêpes were next-level delicious (the crème brûlée one was out of this world!). The coffees were perfect, & our kids were over the moon with their hot chocolates. I also tried the avocado toast with bacon & loved it - such a great combo. If you're looking for a cozy, delicious spot to start your day in Montreal, this place is a must. We'll definitely be back!
If you or someone you know is a fan of My Neighbor Totoro, this is a must-visit. The crepes were amazing & the decor was absolutely adorable, from window decorations to the blackboard to plushies & pillows on the seats. They were full when we arrived but within 10 minutes we were seated & had the best breakfast of our trip.
All-round great spot to get breakfast. Service could be slow depending on how busy it gets. For example, we arrived during a bit of a lull but 15 minutes later 4 or 5 tables arrived in quick succession. The table of two beside us left because the sole server didn't quite get to them fast enough. Nevertheless I found the service to be efficient. Would definitely return for breakfast.

We came here for breakfast as a group & had an absolutely horrible experience with one of the staff members. From the moment we sat down, he was slamming food onto our table, wearing earphones, & made no effort to engage or provide decent service. He was visibly annoyed by our presence from the start.
At the end of the meal, we EACH paid around $65 for our food - so we were far from'cheap.' One of us tipped, & despite that, he loudly said,'I know you tipped, but your friends didn't - that's really cheap. But maybe being cheap is just part of your culture.', & this was an openly racist & disgusting comment.
Tipping is not an obligation - it's a personal choice based on the quality of service. You don't get to treat people terribly & then shame them for not tipping you extra on top of it. & again, we did tip, despite the poor service.
To make matters worse, he followed us outside, continued yelling, & said we should go to McDonald's if we want to'act cheap.' We were respectful & paid full price - no one deserved that kind of treatment.
This experience was degrading, racist, & completely unprofessional. No customer should ever be treated like this, especially not after spending a significant amount of money. Avoid this place - there are far better restaurants where your presence & business will actually be respected.
This is the BEST place for breakfast/brunch/lunch in the world. The staff is so kind & attentive. Not to mention, super talented with the latte art. Every single thing I got from the menu was soooooo good. You can't go wrong with anything. Merci beaucoup, Emily!
This is an awesome little spot. Super friendly service, the food is made quickly, so there's very little waiting, it's delicious & exactly as you ask for. Their coffee is also made with care & with all the modifications implemented, so there's no need to do the work yourself. The only downside is they close by 230pm... Breakfast food this good should be available all day long 😉 Highly recommended.
My partner & I had breakfast here this morning. The food was mediocre & the service was not good. Upon arriving we asked the waitress if they had any gluten free options. She said no. This was obviously not true, so we ordered an omelette with potatoes, tomatoes & fruit (all gluten free). We also ordered a croissant & two lattes. The omelette was pretty basic. The croissant was dry & tasted stale. My latte was lukewarm. I asked the waitress to microwave it. She said they don't have a microwave & will make me a fresh cup. Yet, the cup she brought back was the one I had sent back, which was slightly warmer. I don't recommend this restaurant.

Nice place to enjoy a good cup of coffee. Hazelnut latte & nutella crepe are amazing alongside a plethora of other options. An ideal place for a quick breakfast/brunch.
Adorable little cafe in Old Montreal. Studio Ghibli themed - which added to the cuteness of it. For a seemingly small cafe, the maple latte & breakfast ordered blew me away. I ordered just two eggs with bacon & toast, but the breakfast potatoes were just fantastic. & the maple latte, complete with the cutest latte art I've ever received, was out of this world. We loved it so much we tried to go back the next day, only to see they were closed! Amazing visit, excited to return to Montreal to stop in again.
Fun little place in a great location! The crepe & the bacon, eggs & potato plate were all lovely & very worth the price. The Chai was the only miss of the breakfast as it did not have much flavor & mostly resembled cinnamon milk, but that happens. Also loved the Studio Ghibli decor. I did notice a severe lack of Princess Mononoke, which is criminal, but I'll let it slide because of the Totoro latte art.

Really good customer service here. The basic breakfast could be a little better but overall, everything was well cooked & tasty. Maple & rose latte were very good. Lots of cute Totoro & studio Ghibli decorations
We had brunch for two on a Saturday & it was absolutely perfect. Location: Parking is not always easy to find in this area so you might have a more pleasant experience by taking the metro; you should stop at Champs de Mars metro (orange line) & walk around 8 minutes. It is in a beautiful part of the city, in the old Montréal vicinity, so the walk there is very pleasant. *There are some streets with upward slopes in that area, so on a wintery slippery day you might consider a side street or postponing your visit instead. Food: We started with lattes (rose latte) & it was good enough; the presentation was the best part, served in a cute cup & with latte art. We also ordered the breakfast crepes & it was very tasty. There are good vegetarian options (goat cheese, mushroom, potatoes, eggs, salad, fruit etc) so you can skip meat easily if that's your dietary preference. We also ordered their famous crème brulée crepe as dessert & it was a delicious & a truly perfect way to end the meal. It was not overly sweet & the portion was quite generous. Service: The service was 10/10; staff was kind, helpful & quite fast, given how busy the cafe is (the flow of clients was constant & they were so efficient!). I will definitely come again.
The breakfast was okay, just pricey for small portions compared to all other breakfast places. Worth comming for the Milk Teas, Lattes & the crème brulée crêpe. Those were delicious & really well made.
