It's got the perfect cozy vibe for a work day or coffee with friends :) I come here sometimes to change my environment during the work day & it's perfect every time! The staff is also quite lovely & attentive! 10/10 would recommend!
This is one of my favourite cafes in Montreal. The desserts are delicious, notably the dubai chocolate tiramisu. The coffee was delicious & the employees are all very kind & sweet. The area is spacious & you can definitely spend a while here studying & relaxing.
Try the safran lèche cake!!!! Its sweet but it marries very well with a hot coffee! The cake was super light & very tasty! Highly recommend - Didn't take a picture of the cake because we all were enjoying it too much 😆 Everything was super delicious & the service was also excellent!!
Great coffee, tasty food, & amazing desserts, plus super nice service. Really enjoyed this place!
Loved it! Velora has some of the best desserts (tres leches cakes 🤤) & lattes. Finally a coffee place that stays open later at night for an impromptu treat, a study session or to end a date night on a sweet note 🩷 super friendly staff too!
I will go back to try their other cakes 🤪🧁🍰
A lovely café with a warm, relaxed atmosphere. I stopped by for a coffee & ended up trying their yogurt bowl with fresh fruit & granola as well.
The coffee was well-made & flavorful, & the yogurt bowl was fresh, balanced, & not overly sweet. The yogurt was smooth, the fruits were fresh, & the granola added a perfect crunch.
A great spot for good coffee, a healthy bite, & a calm break during the day. I'd definitely come back.
Such a cute coffee shop with an amazing decor & their pistachio cake & matcha are to die for!
The coffee here is really excellent-well balanced & served at the right temperature. You can tell they use high-quality beans & take care in how each cup is prepared. Whether it's an espresso or something smoother, it's consistently good.
The atmosphere is relaxed & welcoming, a great place to sit down, have a conversation, or even get some work done. The music is low, the space is clean, & the staff is friendly.
A great spot to enjoy a good cup of coffee in a comfortable setting.
Terrible Service & Food, Will Never Go Back
I sat down & after 20 minutes, no one came to acknowledge us even though I said hi to the lady as I walked in> She was arranging some pastries at the window. After 20mins I had to go ask them to come take our order & even then, we still had to wait before they came. When they bought my coffee, they didn't bring my sweet order at the same time. I had to ask then again.
There is a very bad smell, as you walk in it's like musty mouldy smell.
The prices are high: $18 for a'pein perdu' that took a long time to bring .
I will not be going back there. This business will not last. It was empty.
I wish I had read the reviews before going there as this seems to be a common them among customers.
This is a very new place (approx 2 months) From the outside appearance, this place does look inviting. Once inside past the door, a sign greets you saying'let me assign you a place' &, although a very large space minimalistically decorated & inviting enough, it gives a'sit down restaurant vibe with large tables surrounded by many chairs. More for families i guess rather than the online worker or hang out place.
I personally prefer the walk in'sit where you want' open invitation type cafe.
As far as pastries, this is not your typical croissant flaky pastry place. This one has more Middle Eastern cakes, Baklava & such..
Of course, the menu is more extended that I did not have a look at because that was not what I was looking for..
Now we get to the coffee…I had myself a latte & they do have a selection of three plant milks which consist of oat almond & soy only.
I do not like sugar in my coffee, & this coffee was far too sweet without adding anything extra. The flavouring was more like of caramelized molasses & it left a lingering sticky after taste on my tongue. If you like your coffee sweet from the get go then, this place is for you. it was also rather quite expensive over seven dollars for a cup of Joe without leaving a Tip. The hostess, which was also the barista, was sweet & seemed just as new working In this field. The knowledge of what kind of coffee or bean Was limited to reading the label on the bag.
As far as I'm concerned this place is not for me. It did not cater to what I was looking for & the ambiance although might be good for families, I did not feel comfortable to hang out, not to mention overpriced for my simple experience. I wouldn't be encouraged to go for more.
I like to encourage new openings, but this does not seem to fit with the area & café mentality that we are accustomed to locally.
The experience fell a little flat for me hence my rating.
My new favorite place in montreal amazing the coffee & cake are one of a kind & the service is the best love the girl that works at the cafe shes the sweetest
I loved this place before the renovations. It was more cozy, intimate, with mismatched tables & chairs. The pastries (esp the Persian cakes) & service were also better. While Velora looks nicer now, everything else that made it beloved falls flat. I'm not sure why they have the pastry shelves out at the front, making it look like you can go in & order like a self serve (especially when there are plates near it). The hostess seemed annoyed that I didn't know where to go when I ordered (at the coffee station in the back? Right at the entrance at the hostess desk? At the corner near the pastry shelf?). So already the layout is confusing. Cafés are usually order & then seat. This place doesn't know what it wants to be (a café? A sit down restaurant?) It doesn't help that the hostess (who worked Sunday evening at Nov 23) had this disinterested look on her face & kept clicking on her nails. Also literally the Gen Z stare. She also walked away when I tried to ask questions or follow up on my order (I wanted to order more things). The man who produced my takeout order did the same (just disinterestedly asking me is this your food, & then pushing the takeout bag to me across the counter), so it took 2 more follow ups & me waiting or chasing them down to complete my order with a beverage. The'Persian love' cakes (?) weren't as delicious, moist, fragrant, or large as their previous pastries. I felt cheated with the smaller portion sizes. I am not sure if they changed managament...The lattés are decent though; can't go wrong with anything pistachio. You can come here if you want to feel like being in a beautiful cafe, but food & service is meh.
Velora is such a cozy little gem ☕?✨ The atmosphere is calm, inviting, & perfect whether you're catching up with friends or taking a solo coffee break. Their dessert section is next level - everything looks & tastes amazing, but the tres leches is truly the star 😍 Moist, creamy, & just perfectly balanced.
If you love good vibes, great coffee, & irresistible desserts, Velora is 100% worth the stop! 🍰💛
I rarely write reviews, but this cafe deserves one. I've only been there three times, & it's already become one of my favorite cafés in Montreal. The staff are genuinely kind, every time I walk in, someone greets me with a smile.
The place is bright & spacious, & I love that they keep big tables open for people with laptops. It's the perfect spot to have a coffee & study on weekends for me. Even their music taste is great.
& the desserts are sooo good, I love their pistachio cake 🍰🍰🍰
Velora cafe is a nice spot to sit & have a coffee, not for a full meal. Overall staff are very friendly & the space is cute.
I would like to preface that at the time of this review it is a new restaurant, however the service is extremely slow. It took nearly an hour for the Dutch baby, the French toast & a granola bowl to come out. We were told it is because all of the bread is made in house, however, I do not think that is reason for it to take as long as it did. Overall it is quite unorganized. We were brought the wrong food, not brought cutlery & had to ask for water multiple times.
The food is good but not worth the 45+ minute wait time. It is also slightly overpriced.
Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, very delicious Tres leches, so fluffy.
Good coffee.
Amazing😋
New taste & really recommended. Enjoy coffee & brunch at this place
Dulce de Latte☕?
Velora Café is a beautiful new spot in Montreal! I didn't get the chance to try their coffee or desserts yet, but the decor alone makes it worth visiting it's impressive, cozy, & gives such a peaceful vibe.
I also had a nice chat with one of the team members, Nika, who was super kind & friendly. She took the time to answer all my questions with a smile. Can't wait to go back soon to try their menu
THIS IS ALI NOOR & THIS IS MY REVIEW
