Oh My Deer Café is described as a cozy welcoming spot with excellent coffee and a strong lineup of pastries and empanadas inspired by Colombian flavors. The atmosphere is often called homey and calm, making it a good place to study or chat, with warm attentive service from the staff.

The gelato and sorbet selection is frequently praised for real fruit flavors and vegan options, with customers sometimes getting to sample the flavors before choosing.

A few reviewers mention seating comfort or occasional service hiccups, but these are outweighed by the overall impression of warmth, delicious treats, and a place to relax or work. In sum, Oh My Deer Café is seen as a standout cafe in Montreal for coffee lovers and pastry fans, with many calling it a favorite and recommending the empanadas, pastries, and ice cream or gelato flavors.
Absolutely delicious & warm experience. The owner I believe served my friends & I.
We ordered different empanadas, some bunuelos, my friend's pastry I forgot the name of lol & a pastry with guava that I also can't remember the name of! I ordered a cappuccino & despite being someone who struggles with the bitterness of coffee without sugar, this was delicious. Rich & frothy & a delight to down. All of our food was crisp or fluffy where needed & flavourful.
I'm so glad my friend showed me this cute Colombian cafe. I must check out the rest of the authentic eats here & learn their names when I come back to Montreal in the summer!
Not your typical cafe, very unique. Cute & very cozy. No music playing but students were dead quiet in a really peaceful kind of way. The chicken pastellito was crispy, flaky, heavy, flavourful. Oh my gosh it was good. I'm told the pastry dough is made & folded in house. Cappuccino was also very balanced though I wish the steamed milk froth was made into neat latte art.
Marked down one star because the center wasn't quite reheated to being warm, but an easy fix & absolutely worth trying again.

The staff gave us samples of each flavour & was very helpful in explaining their different flavours. The quality was phenomenal. The gelato tastes like real fruits not like sugar. Super good. 10/10 would recommend
Came in for a scoop of ice cream & the lovely lady behind the counter made me try all the flavours before I made my decision, too right! I settled on the passionfruit & the dulce de leche but all were top notch, you could tell they were made with pride & love. Very unique flavours served with a smile, I will be back for more! The cakes & pastries looked great too.
Wow!!! Last week me & my friend were looking for a cafe at 7 pm in Montreal… we couldn't find anything until we magically stumbled upon this beautiful café. Probably was faith because damn EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOD. The owner is so sweet & welcoming & took the time to give us an amazing ice cream tour trip which even with our seatbelts fastened we couldn't have been ready for the amazingness of what hit our mouths. The coffee was delicious as well. All the ice cream is sooo good with options for everyone from vegan to lactose free… my personal favorite was the dulce de leche but all the fruit flavours were so natural & delicious- just perfect. The cafe is so cozy too with great music & a great vibe. This is definitely my favourite spot I've found this month. If you're looking to get your tastebuds amazed, have a great day or just want to meet some new people & have a good time this is the place to go!!! (Also so refreshing to have a coffee shop open after hours)
Went in for the ice cream, the owner made us try every single flavour they had. They had all sorts of fruits unique to central & South America (Lucuma being my favourite!) I highly recommend anyone looking for new flavours to check them out.
I haven't had the chance to try their pastries, but they had some interesting combos, including a guava & brie pastry that I want to try next!
Lovely place with Colombian empanadas & pastries, which were so good, as well as coffee. Exclusive flavours of ice-cream - incredibly delicious. Friendly & really nice service.
Such a beautiful & aesthetic local cafe. It's a great ambience to sit & just enjoy a great coffee shop atmosphere. The deer theme is such a classic. & the drinks are great quality I especially love the mocha the mocha flavour is top tier. Employees are really welcoming too!
Cute & cozy cafe. The owner took us on a cool gelato tasting adventure which was a great way to taste a variety of flavours based on South American fruits. Vegan gelato options are plenty! Asked for an empty cup to share & was told there would be a $1 charge for the cup. Owner came around to the tables to check on us & see if we liked everything. Nice to support a small local business that has non dairy options.
What a surprise!! We came for coffee & stayed for a full ice cream tour 🥸 Oh My Deer has a huge selection of unique Latin American inspired ice cream flavours. The owner offers a full tour of all the flavours since most of them are unfamiliar to people in mtl.
Amazing ice cream, unique South American fruits. Many of the flavours have both dairy & vegan options. The coffee was fantastic too! Highly recommended.

COME TO THIS SHOP!!! 😳🫶🏻🍨 Warm, friendly atmosphere that invites you to take a trip for your tastebuds with authentic Latin American flavours. Literally, the owner will invite you to take a tour with them & then offer you & your party a taste of every flavour of ice cream/sorbet available. It makes you feel so special & really knowledgeable of all the options. All of the fruits are imported from countries like Peru & Colombia, & you can really taste the difference. Hooray for this ice cream café :D
Beautiful cafe with some delicious South American fare. The highlight is the ice cream collection made from fresh South American fruits , & the owner very sweetly & kindly gives a free taste of the entire collection & insists that you try all of them before choosing a flavour. The ice creams & desserts are delicious. The "Gloria" was especially good. The ambience & location add to the charm of the place.
Lovely place, the coffee is amazing, real nice Colombian taste, & the gelato is super. A nice selection of South American flavours. A place where you can relax & have a nice coffee & great time.
