Review Summary

Velora Café Pâtisserie earns praise for a warm, calm, and stylish space that invites lingering, with generous seating and decor that feels both cozy and elegant. Desserts are a standout, especially pistachio and tres leches cakes, plus a variety of pastries and saffron cakes, while the drinks program shines with pistachio latte, chai latte and a well balanced coffee lineup. The menu's variety and emphasis on quality ingredients come through in shakshouka, matcha with pistachio, a fresh yogurt bowl, and other sweet treats, all complemented by friendly, attentive staff. Some reviewers note occasional slow service or higher prices for certain items, and a few mention layout or queue quirks, but the overall mood remains welcoming and bright, suitable for studying, catching up with friends, or a relaxed date. Regulars plan to return to try more cakes and drinks, reinforcing Velora as a standout dessert and café destination in the area.

Horrible service, expensive for average food.
If i could give a Zero I would. There is a bad smell of moist or mould as you enter.
Staff ignore you even when it's not busy.
Service is also slow, we had to remind them to come take our order.

I will not again there.

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.

Most appalling & confusing service I have ever experienced. It felt like nobody was in charge. When I walked in & said my friend was waiting for me, the waiter greeted me with little enthusiasm. I sat down & after 20 minutes, he still hadn't come to take my order. We had to call him ourselves. When my friend asked for an extra cup for the pretty large teapot she had ordered, the waiter seemed irritated by our request & begrudgingly accepted. Then I placed my order, which seemed to astonish him. My friend finally received her food (after a very long time), & the cake I ordered didn't arrive. We had to remind the waiter about it, which is strange because the place was practically empty. Long after we were done eating, he did not come to clear our plates or to ask us if we wanted anything else. My friend had to call him again to ask for a glass of water (none was provided in the beginning). The waiter brought one, & only one. Which was a total lack of courtesy. Finally, when we went to pay, we asked that the tea be split in half, which the waiter was completely unable to comprehend. He made a single attempt & then gave up. I must add that his language skills in both English & French were very poor, which did not help the situation.

It's really unfortunate, because the place itself is very beautiful & we enjoyed our food very much. The saffron dulce de leche cake was delicious, though it only had one single saffron flower on top.

All in all, I will not be returning to this café. It was not worth the price, &, frankly, the disrespectful indifference with which we were treated.

Un véritable petit havre de douceur. Les bols granola sont frais & savoureux, & le décor, dans des tons crème subtils, crée une atmosphère calme & réconfortante. Parfait pour un moment tranquille, seule ou accompagnée

L endroit est joli & bien présenté. Cependant, dès notre arrivée, il y avait une odeur désagréable, comme une odeur de plomberie ou provenant des toilettes, qui est restée tout au long de la visite.

La nourriture était correcte, mais la qualité n'était pas vraiment à la hauteur des prix. L'expérience était donc plutôt moyenne.

Nice-looking place, but there was an unpleasant smell (like from the bathroom or plumbing) during the entire visit. The food was okay, but the quality didn't really match the prices

Endroit joli, mais une odeur désagréable (comme une odeur de plomberie ou des toilettes) était présente tout au long de la visite. La nourriture était correcte, mais la qualité ne correspondait pas aux prix.

L'endroit est joli, mais l'expérience ne justifie pas le prix. Le café & les pâtisseries sont très chers pour la qualité offerte.
Il y avait aussi une odeur désagréable dans le local & il faisait vraiment froid à l'intérieur, y compris aux toilettes.

J'ai adoré ce café ! L'ambiance est vraiment chaleureuse & calme, parfaite pour se détendre. Ils vendent aussi leurs confitures maison super bonnes & joliment présentées sur les étagères.
Le service était excellent, tout était parfait du début à la fin.
& alors… le sapin de Noël était tellement cute!
Il donne vraiment une atmosphère magique au lieu.
Je recommande ce café à 100 %. Une très belle découverte !

Je suis allée plusieurs fois dans ce café & à chaque fois, je l'apprécie encore plus. Excellente qualité, super musique, service impeccable, tout est parfait.
En entrant, j'ai été accueilli chaleureusement avec un sourire, & lorsque je me suis installé, le barista s'est montré très aimable & accueillant. En partant, j'ai discuté avec lui & lui ai dit combien un endroit comme celui-ci nous manquait
Ils ont ajouté des codes QR aux tables, ce qui est une excellente idée. Cela permet de voir les photos des articles à tout moment.
En résumé, c'est un endroit idéal pour les familles & les amis, ou même pour étudier. Je vous le recommande vivement. Vous ne le regretterez pas.

Cafe is quiet which is what I enjoy. Lots of people on laptops or quietly chatting. Didn't get a chance to try the pastries in the window but did get a yogurt bowl & latte, which was good. I'd come here again to get some work done.

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.

Omg, the tres leches cake was amazing, & the strawberry one too! Highly recommended. Unlike many spots in Montreal where they cram so many tables together, here you actually have space & you're not stuck listening to someone else's conversation.
