very good indie coffee, one of the best nearby. Crowded during business hours. a bit expensive.

Todd Rawlings

Best pastries downtown. Boom.

Saka

Really great coffee and milk options - definitely try the macadamia milk! Also their chocolate chip cookie is quite good. Definitely recommend

Damian Lalonde-Pulcini

The most authentic non processed coffee I have ever tasted. I had come here on the recommendation of a good friend and I must say I was not disappointed. MELK please don't ever change!

Judy Samakie

Best coffee in Montreal.

Kyle C

The best hot chocolate I have ever tasted. Perfect for a cold Montreal day. The prices were very fair. The staff was absolutely lovely.

Jianshu Cui

One of my favourite café downtown Montreal, small space but with a lovely display. Great to meet friends for a catch-up or for a business follow up.

Betsy Berger

Cute spot, excellent coffee.

brandnyin

Small coffee joint, but cozy place. Amazing Matcha Latte. Good service.

Eugene Vin

Difficult to find great independent coffee in downtown Montreal? Not here at Melk: well brewed and a concise selection of in house pastries to match. Very much recommended!

Ablson

(Translated) Very small but very good service and coffee! (Original) Très petit mais très bon service et café!

Edward Garson

Really very excellent, friendly.

Nicolas Longchamps

(Translated) Melk is one of my favorite coffee bars in Montreal. Small but very welcoming. The coffees are carefully prepared with a good machine and they use the 49th parallel as a grain. In short, all of the good quality. I have never been disappointed. (Original) Melk c'est l'un de mes bar à café préféré de Montréal. Petit mais très accueillant. Les cafés sont soigneusement préparé avec une bonne machine et ils utilisent du 49e parallèle comme grain. Bref, tout de la bonne qualité. Je n'ai jamais été déçu.

Peter Schmidt

Pastry is nice. Coffee ok. Service kind of ok - not particularly friendly though

[ David ]

Great espressos and nice ambience.

Samuel Delmas

(Translated) Very good coffee from my colleagues. In any case they are friendly. And for my part I can say that the scones are very good (Original) Très bon café dapres mes collègues. En tout cas ils sont sympathiques. Et pour ma part je peux affirmer que les scones sont très bons

Justin Dupuis

Delicious coffee with fast & friendly service!

Tiny shop but great coffee, pastries and service. Highly recommended.

Leeloo Hsu

nice coffee, great staff, wonderful vibe. Definitely going back!

Fabrizio TheFab

(Translated) Finally a real and good coffee .... not easy when surrounded by Tim Hortons and Starbucks downtown :-) (Original) Enfin un vrai et bon café.... pas facile quand on est entouré de Tim Hortons et Starbucks au centre-ville :-)

Ali S

Small place but the best coffee in Montreal.

Lara Geinoz

Delicious coffee

Cristina Oliver Gameiro

Great staff and amazing coffee! Best part of my morning.

Anthony Lombardo

A perfect place to grab a perfect cup of coffee. The staff was very nice and service was quick.

Steph U

Downtown really needed a place like this — a tucked away, comfy coffee place. Little expensive, but definitely to be expected from this league of café. The matcha latte was quite good.

Sylvie A Benoit

(Translated) Best downtown cafe :-) (Original) Meilleur café centre-ville :-)

Bassam Saleh

Has nice people working there but the cappicutino was not so okay and also loud micsic.

Max Romanoff

Awesome scones and Lattes.

Eddie Pak

A great coffee spot. Good selection of pastries and snacks too. A handful of nice tables to sit at as well.

Shawn Cowles

Cool spot

Sachie Mendez

Sophisticated design, cute cup, nice service. Just my Americano with soymilk was not that good.

Jovan Cheema

Tried the Cappuccino with the Banana Bread - both amazing. Cappuccino was done right, perfect amount of froth. Banana Bread was not overtly sweet - ideal snack. Nice little place away from the madness of St Catherine street.

Geneviève Dumais

(Translated) Very good cappuccino, strong with a nice sweetness (Original) Très bon cappuccino, fort avec une belle douceur

John R.

Lovely fast service. A nice place to kill some time.

Nicolas Ternisien

The macadamia milk latte is to die for.

Romain Jolibois

Cute tiny little place to have a good coffee downtown Montreal! One of a few :) I went once and I’ve got a moka (see the pic below)

Catherine Blais

(Translated) Small, but very good. A little removed from the hustle and bustle of St. Catherine, this cafe is cozy. Having less space than her twin at Place d'Armes, it remains the perfect place to dive into her thoughts. (Original) Petit, mais très bien. Un peu éloigné du brouhaha de Sainte-Catherine, ce café est douillet. Ayant moins de place que son jumeau à la station Place d'Armes, il reste que c'est l'endroit parfait pour plonger dans ses pensées.

Meernout Zahour

(Translated) The Melk is one of the few little cafes with real Barista located in the city center! Indeed in the CBD it is very difficult to drink a coffee made with good product by a real barista! Of course I do not speak of the second cup, Tim's or other Van Houtte! Here the product is highlighted with a real craftsman who knows his job !! As in any café you have the choice between different types of coffee, latte, espresso, cappuccino ... I find a little quality of know-how that we had in Italy or Australia! It's not the regulars who will tell you the opposite! Taste coffee Milk will literally change your habits! No more cafes in big chains! Here is real! You can buy good product too ... But I did not try :) In any case I will come back! (Original) Le Melk est un des rares petit café avec de vrais Barista situé en plein centre ville ! En effet dans le CBD il est très difficile de pouvoir boire un café fait avec de bon produit par un véritable barista ! Bien sûre je ne parle pas des second cup, Tim's ou autre Van Houtte ! Ici le produit est mit en valeur avec un vrai artisan qui connaît son métier !! Comme dans tout café vous avez le choix entre différents types de café, Latte, espresso, cappuccino... je retrouve un peu la qualité de savoir faire que nous avions en Italie ou en Australie !! Ce n'est pas les habitués qui vont vous dire le contraire! Goûter au café du Milk va changer littéralement vos habitudes ! Fini les cafés dans les grandes chaînes ! Ici c'est du véritable ! Vous pouvez y acheter aussi de bon produit ... Mais je n'ai pas essayer :) En tout cas j'y reviendrai !

Julia Elizabeth

Matcha latte was delicious and additionally had a beautiful flower made with the foam! Nice ambiance and same standard of quality as the original location on Monkland, in NDG.

Carlos Denner

Extraordinary decorated and of course great coffee

David Chen

Ordered a latte and a scone. The barista accidentally made an extra latte and gave it to me, A+ for service. The scones were good, and the latte had a good balance of sweetness. The inside is a little small, but other than that it is a pretty cozy spot to sit down. Would def come back and try out their other drinks on the menu.

Dan R

Great coffee "."

Gabriel “Gabe” Hahn

The worst cafes Ive ever been to. Terrible staff, very expensive drinks for something very tiny. And the quality is very watered down. Don't go here, EVEN Tim Horton's is better.

Andy Koo

Tasty lattes. I tried the standard, vanilla and maple. Vanilla is probably the best. Didn't taste much maple in the Maple latte. Scones were good.

Chris Saunders

A beautiful little cafe! Friendly and efficient bilingual staff. The latte I had was outstanding, and the scone was a work of art - crunchy with just enough sweetness on the outside but impossibly fluffy inside. Bravo!

André Moreto

(Translated) Montreal's best coffee (Original) Melhor café de Montréal

Mickael Viens

Great products and service! Best in town.

Alberto

(Translated) Best coffee in Montreal! Very welcoming, friendly and courteous staff. (Original) Meilleur café à Montréal! Personnel très accueillant, aimable et courtois.

(Translated) One of the best cafes in Montreal, their pastries are delicious and the service always super nice. :) And thank you for offering your iced coffees to the year! ???? (Original) Un des meilleurs cafés à Montréal, leurs viennoiseries sont délicieuses et le service toujours hyper sympa. :) Et merci d'offrir vos cafés glacés à l'année ! ????

Marc-André Chartrand

Great coffee place, best one I found downtown so far

Julien Leblanc

Great latte

Phaidra Duchastel-Vassaramva

Small cafe, ideal for time alone

Francois du Preez

Great coffee, friendly people and a happy vibe.

Gabriela DA COSTA FRANARIN

Very nice place, the lemonade is amazing, the staff is really nice but they dont have wifi ://

dajana j

Great coffee. Love their cappuccino. One of the best coffees in Montreal.

Pierre-Henri Paitre

(Translated) A well-hidden café in Stanley Street that one would like to keep secret by selfishness. The pastries are crazy, the coffees are all excellent and the staff always takes the time for each customer and with a smile. We go there to enjoy! (Original) Un Café bien planqué rue Stanley qu'on voudrait garder secret par égoïsme. Les patisseries sont folles, les cafés tous excellents et le personnel prend toujours le temps pour chaque client et avec le sourire. On y va pour déguster !

Seulmin Ahn

No wifi

Twin on the original on Monkland, identical quality coffee and treats with a Downtown feel.

Wojciech Sawicki

Absolutely delicious coffee and pastries in a cozy little "hole in the wall".

Yuta Lee

Nice little spot for a macchiato stop.

Tydiana gosty

(Translated) A pleasure to take my ugly coconut chai latte (Original) Un plaisir de prendre mon chai latte laid de coco

Paris Evangelou

Great coffee

Shawn Mativetsky

Best coffee in Montreal!

Julien Desrosiers

Very busy, very loud. Just a few tables to seat. Mainly a takeout coffee place. Excellent coffee that changes every few weeks. I live it

Patrick Zielinski

Place feels a bit cramped, but I liked the design choices. Something between Scandinavian wood benches mixed in with an industrial touch of metal chairs lining the wall. The place being small, you are engulfed in a rich coffee smell. I tried their mocha vanilla latte and it was really good. Nice leaf pattern too. Staff was understandably tired as it was almost the closing hour, I still got a nice smile and good service.

Chris Berardi

Good coffee and they have a pretty good selection of teas as well.

Kristof Maret

(Translated) Ok (Original) Bof

Caroline Laroche

Busy place with excellent coffee and a good variety of tea. No much to eat, a few biscuits and biscotti. Last time I went there, I drank my coffee in the Square Dorchester (1min by walk from Melk). It was great!

Damien Goblot

Cute small coffee shop with just a couple of tables and chairs.

Hannah Kirk-Aubut

I much prefer them over chains like Vanne Houte or Second Cup. I think their prices are fair considering you get your drink fast but Ide like to see more promos.

Istvan Molnar-Szakacs

These guys are really the best - and that cardamom scone!!! Morning rush hour and the team still found the time to help me with KeepCup selection, looking things up for me online, etc. Thank you, and stay sweet!

Stephan Poirier

(Translated) Excellent coffee. But service a little long (Original) Café excellent. Mais service un peu long

Michael Michelis

Superb coffeee

Gidean Chan

This coffee was creamy and with a touch of dark chocolate favour, the best in town. The barista is handsome by the way.

Lea-Marie Chityal

Very good service. I had the vanilla latte. it was very good! Also the chocolate cookie and the lemon cake were delicious

Sócrates Álvarez

Great great coffee but they don't have WiFi!!

Rentan TGLG

Great cafe

Serving 49 parallel in downtown. Can't go wrong with that.

Valeriu Tihai

(Translated) Good coffee, quick and friendly service (Original) Cafea buna, deservire rapida si prietenoasa

Jonas Eyford

Great spot, serving 49th parallel & Detour

Guillaume Sans

(Translated) Without a doubt: the best scones in town! (Original) Sans aucun doute: les meilleurs scones en ville!

Jo R.

(Translated) Small and without internet access, I was a little surprised. On the other hand, the coffee is good and the atmosphere calm. I would stay there again with printed works. I imagine that the lack of wifi prevents the lack of seating space? (Original) Petit et sans accès internet, j'ai été un peu surprise. Par contre, le café est bon et l'ambiance calme. J'y retournerais avec des travaux imprimés. J'imagine que le manque de wifi prévient le manque d'espace assises?

Camille Desrochers

Chill spot

Kevin Ammerman

Perfection! Try the scones.

Hagop Hatchadourian

Great coffee! ????????????????

Simon LE LARGE

Very tasty short one.

Wendy L

They have oat milk!

Julien Paton

Drinking Montreal's best coffee right in the heart of the city! I am more than blessed to be able to allow myself some treats like that. Located on Stanley street this is clearly a must if you are visiting Montreal.

Jason Campbell

Great coffee, tiny cozy place

Mojtaba Khomami Abadi

The best cafe for a before work taste of mornings!

César Augusto Izaguirre Paz

Very nice place to enjoy a great coffee downtown.

Nicole Kalagayan

Well-made drinks. So smooth!

Lydie L.

(Translated) Small, quiet and quality café in the heart of the city center. Home: friendly, warm and makes good recommendations. Atmosphere: very small, cozy and quiet café. Some seats inside. Beautiful, uncluttered decor. Food: I had a chai latte with vegetable milk and a raspberry and lemonade scone. Gorgeous! I give a 9/10. Very happy with this chance discovery! (Original) Petit café tranquille et de qualité en plein cœur du centre-ville. Acceuil : sympatique, chaleureux et fait de bonnes recommandations. Ambiance: très petit café cozy et tranquille. Quelques places assises à l'intérieur. Beau décor épuré. Nourriture : J'ai pris un chaï latte avec un lait végétal et un scone framboises et limonade. Sublime! Je donne un 9/10. Très heureuse de cette découverte fortuite!

Didier Landry

I absolutely love this place. This cozy café is in a (quieter) area just off of busy Ste-Catherines street and serves excellent coffee.

Michael Mikhaiel

Great cortado and chocolate chip cookies! No wifi.

Sabrina Constans

MELK coffee is a little slice of heaven. Delicious coffee and often gluten-free pastries. They seem to be careful with tongs, though they're open-air pastries, so CC is possible if you're celiac. Still, I've never been sick!

Dina Santina

Melk has been this little gem of a place for me. It's special, it used to be very close to my office and I'd go every time I had a bad workday. I always went for their scones and either a mokaccino or their matcha latte. I've always had a great experience with the staff and albeit lines can be long during lunch time, it's worth the wait (or going a bit later). Definitely indulge in desserts!

Marco Bairos

Was looking for a nice coffee bar in downtown Montreal. Found this place and was pleasantly surprised. muffin was delicious as well as latte I had

Maude Fafard

(Translated) Excellent coffee and varied choice of alternative milks. The staff is also super friendly and the service is fast! The scones are also very good. It is very small and there is no wifi, but it is rather a place where we take our coffee to go. There are a lot of offices around so it's super convenient for employees who want a good coffee before going to work! (Original) Café excellent et choix varié de laits alternatifs. Le staff est aussi super sympathique et le service est rapide! Les scones sont aussi très bons. C'est tout petit et il n'y a pas de wifi, mais c'est plutôt un endroit où on prend notre café pour emporter. Il y a beaucoup de bureaux autour donc c'est super pratique pour les employés qui veulent un bon café avant d'aller travailler!

Paul Nazareth

Small, fabulous coffee Beautiful little spot. Coffee was fabulous, wonderful espresso. The world needs more little coffee spots like this.

Lydia Galvez-C.

(Translated) Beautiful area ! Cute and offers a variety of products! The coffee is good ... too bad the young girl who served me was not very enthusiastic to introduce me to refreshing beverages on this beautiful spring day ... I also felt like I had disturbed him when I arrived while she was doing the dishes no other customer was present. (Original) Très bel endroit ! Cute et offre une panoplie de produit ! Le café est bon...dommage que la jeune fille qui m'a servie n'était pas très enthousiaste à me faire connaître des breuvages rafraîchissants en cette belle journée printanière...j'avais également l'impression de l'avoir derangé a mon arrivée pendant qu'elle faisait la vaiselle aucun autre client n'était présent.

Yannick Trives

(Translated) Great place very appreciated in the city center ... quality coffee and omg scones :) Only downside, the lack of wifi ... (Original) Super place très appréciée au centre ville... café de qualité et les scones omg :) Seul bémol, le manque de wifi...

Mary Timmons

Had an iced vanilla latte and a chocolate banana cardamom scone - yum! Wonderful staff!

Bakery Addiction

Great espresso, nice little cafe shop.

Ana-Cristina Ahmarani

The best coffee dt. Love the staff, I was pleasantly surprised today when the person at the cash remembered my exact order even though I had previously ordered only once from her a couple weeks ago.

Ryk Edelstein

OMG

Vanessa Ribreau

Really nice tiny place with great 3rd vague coffea

Monsieur Quéno

(Translated) Discovery of the day. This small, very small coffee has something to surprise. It is almost hidden and very busy. Confidence, because as the Hygrade sausage, more people drink, the coffee is fresh. (Original) Découverte de la journée. Ce petit, très petit, café a de quoi surprendre. Il est presque caché et fort achalandé. Gage de confiance, car comme la saucisse Hygrade, plus de gens en boive, plus le café est frais.

frootloop edibles

Great scones, great GREAT coffee, awesome service. There's not much sitting room, and the bill is gonna hurt, but from time to time it's nice to treat yourself. Self care is SOOO important.

Mina Hrz

Excellent coffee great service, bomb cheddar and chive scone ???? ???? please open at 7am so we don’t have to go to starbs

(Translated) Charming little cafe with minimalist and warm decor. Their matcha and brownie are delicious and rich in taste. (Original) Charmant petit café au décor minimaliste et chaleureux. Leur matcha et brownie sont délicieux et riche en goût.

Philippe Fortin Simard

Delicious coffee and pastries -- I'm in love with the scones! This cafe easily rivals some other ones of my favorites in Montreal, such as Différance and Myriade! I can't help but stop when I'm nearby!

TalH

Best latte in town with amazing staff!

Isabeau Meernout

(Translated) Adorable café with super competent staff: it's been a while since we enjoyed our latte and cappuccino so much. Thank you! You have to queue on the right to order, then on the left to collect your drink (whether to take away or to consume on site). They also sell various accessories, coffee, etc. (Original) Adorable café avec staff hyper competent: ça faisait longtemps qu'on n'avait pas autant apprécié notre latte et cappuccino. Merci! Il faut faire la queue à droite pour commander, puis à gauche pour récupérer sa boisson (que ce soit à emporter ou à consommer sur place). Ils vendent aussi divers accessoires, du café , etc..

Nice, relaxed spot to sit and enjoy a coffee solo or with others. The maple latté was good!

Hugues Lefebvre Morasse

(Translated) Great little express coffee counter! Pretty like place and the products are good! Reference in the neighborhood (Original) Super petit comptoir café express! Jolie comme endroit et les produits sont bons! Référence dans le quartier

Rose M

Relatively average experience (average coffee, tiny, no wifi) for a boutique-style cafe

Ryan Thérien

Expensive, but more than worth it. The cheddar scone is my new vice.

David Frechette

Really good coffee. In the summer order a cold brew, you won't be disappointed.

Émilie Savard

(Translated) I love. Excellent coffee, divine pastries, vegan choice, super cozy atmosphere even if the place is quite small. (Original) J'adore. Excellent café, divines pâtisseries, choix vegan, ambiance super cozy même si l'endroit est assez petit.

Catherine L.

(Translated) Warm, pretty, intimate place. Quick and courteous service. What about latte chai! Delicious on a cool fall day! (Original) Endroit chaleureux, joli, intime. Service courtois et rapide. Que dire du chaï latté! Délicieux par une fraiche journée d'automne!

Adriana Naffah

I went here 2 years ago and fell in love with their matcha latte et regular latte. Went back today and is still as delicious, one of the top on the island if you ask me. They offer a great variety of milks for lactose intelorant and vegan customers (macademia, almond coco, soy) and also offer classics like chai latte and london fog. The only reason I am not putting a 5 star, and really the only reason, is because I often opt not to go in because the space is really limited and I can rarely come in if not for take out. I might try their shop on Monkland for this purpose.

Nicolas Plourde

(Translated) Always good. The perfect coffee finish dinner. By cons, there is a queue from 12:50. (Original) Toujours bon. Le parfais café finir le dîner. Par contre, il y a une file dès 12:50.

Maud Thiery

(Translated) Very good coffee, too bad they close so early it's hard to get there on a weekday evening. (Original) Très bon café, dommage qu’ils ferment si tôt c’est difficile d’y aller en soir de semaine.

Caroline Goode

Liked my cappuccino and scone! Also grabbed a green juice for later in the day. Would have came back the next morning but wanted to try another local cafe.

Ralph Spandl

(Translated) Coffee and cookies are very good. However, it is a small place and quite busy during the week. Perfect for a little coffee break (Original) Café et les petits gâteaux sont très bons. Par contre c’est un endroit petit et assez achalandé dans la semaine. Parfait pour un petit pause-café

Av All.

The blueberry dark chocolate Scone was amazing!

Vasily R

Best coffee in the area.

Jose Guillen

Great atmosphere. Great lattes.

Karine Feddersen

Melk on Drummond has amazing service every. single. time! I've been going since it opened and the service and quality are always there. The seating space is limited, but the environment is great. There are a few munchies too. They carry Camelia Sinesis teas too!

Chelsea Stilwell

Lovely, cool staff and tons of vegan milk options. No meals but tons of delicious snacks. Not a lot of seating space and no washroom so it isn’t ideal for studying but great for a quick coffee/tea and bite to eat in city.

Jason Armour

Great coffee

M Lam

Excellent little coffee shop/cafe. The staff was friendly. Drink was made fresh to order and I was very satisfied.

Tianning Lao

A bit expense, no wifi ????

James Zhe

Quick friendly service, nice interior, close to the office. Much better than the usual Starbucks or Second Cup in the area.

Matt Sweetwood

Cute, super clean and well stocked gourmet coffee house. Fantastic Cortado and home baked Lemon Cake. Single origin coffee in drip and for sale. No French Press or single made cups is a little disappointing.

Erik Bissonnette

Amazing capucino .great service

Hijinkz Kitty

Not a terrible place, small, but a little pricey and the bathrooms are out in the garage and in winter you have to go outside to get back in....not so pleasant.

Antoine Poursuibes

Busy and noisy little café but a welcoming place for a meeting or simply Enjoy a good coffee

Gabriel Keane

A little expensive, but the coffee is really good. I will definitely be back here!

Rob Jobe

Emmanuil P

Good coffee and service

David Sullivan

Fantastic coffee, just steps from the Metro

Chris

(Translated) The coffee is quite good, the decor and the general environment are just as pleasant. The first time, greeted in French by a French precisely. I enjoyed the experience but the second time it was greeted in English only and it took a while for the person to switch to French. That’s why I lowered the 3 star rating. (Original) Le café est plutôt bon, la déco et l’environnement général sont tout aussi agréable. La première fois, accueilli en français par un français justement. J’ai apprécié l’expérience mais la seconde fois, ça a été accueil en anglais uniquement et il a fallu le temps avant que la personne passe en français. Voilà pourquoi j’ai descendu la note de 3 étoiles.

Amazing coffee!

Great coffee shop, geared towards the surrounding businesses with the heart of an artisan.

Best Coffee in town, truly great experience. Would definitely recommend it

Rob Wicks

Delicious coffee and cookies

Jonathan Guez

Nice staff, but I didn't really care for my coffee.

Aidy O.

It was my first time visiting this coffee shop, and I was not impressed. The representative who served me was not very welcoming... Maybe he was just having a bad day :( the drink was good but the vibe not so much. It's a very small shop, not ideal for students meeting up for projects. There's no wifi available either, in case it is of importance to you.

Abel Chouinard

cafe is typically very very good. on very rare occasion the espresso is not great (1 or 2 times out of about 100 visit).

Vince Poil

Cool

Lily Dionne

Such a pleasant discovery!! They have all types of milks and non milks and they have some delicious gluten free goodies, ie a decadent orange cake seen in the picture! It was a little chilly inside so it was a little hard to untense and study. The worst is the bathroom :( it's outside in the parking lot! I tried not to drink too much so I wouldn't have to go!

Eric Bernatchez

(Translated) Small coffee, little space but excellent coffee. (Original) Petit café, peu d'espace mais café excellent.

Reham S

Coffee & Scones are awesome ????

George B

Staying at the best western? Want a fresh baked good and a top notch coffee/warm beverage? Don't waste your time and money at Cora's, come here instead. I come here every time I'm staying in Montreal.

Kent Tse

Great little coffee shop. Love the espressos, macchiatos, lattes, and the stock beans too.

Jean-David Rezaioff

(Translated) Nice place with a good reception, but quite noisy, lack of space and no Wifi. (Original) Lieu sympa avec un bon accueil, mais assez bruyant, manque de place et pas de Wifi.

mac salem

Excellent coffee and service.

Jen Radman

Friendly staff. A good selection of different milks to suit anyone with allergies (soy, oat, coconut, milk). Pumpkin spice latte is a must as it is made with real pumpkin puree. Their scones and muffins are a great way to start the day or surprise someone with an amazing treat.

Jason WD

Probably the best place in the centre ofbtown to grab a non franchise coffee

madiha sultan

Good menu with lots of drink options. Loved the iced vanilla latte. Super cute cafe that feels like it would be a good place to ready or study.

Joe Borsellino

Very nice place

Dury Bell

Melk Bar is perfect for a quick pit stop to grab a latte on the go. They have yummy pastry selections and options that are sans-gluten! They do not specialize in pour over or Chemex coffees, but are great for lattes and capaccinos.

Patricia Paris

(Translated) New small independent café (opening June 2015) adjacent to the AutoParc Stanley parking lot on Stanley Street between Ste-Catherine & René-Lévesque, MELK's little brother on Monkland in N.D.G. Finally, a nice little coffee in this corner of downtown that serves good coffee. Business customers in search of caffeine. They serve 49th parallel coffee. Quality espresso ($ 3.25). They only have pastries (muffins & cookies), but have no sandwiches, to come, according to the barista. Deco, simple & modern. Namely, no wifi & no toilets. 5/5 visited in June 2015 (Original) Nouveau petit café indépendant (ouverture juin 2015) adjacent au stationnement AutoParc Stanley sur la rue Stanley entre Ste-Catherine & René-Lévesque, petit frère du MELK sur Monkland dans N.D.G.

This place was very cute. Coffee was great. My only complaint - no restroom. Strange

Jean Bui

Small space with pricey coffee. $5 for a small latte. Staff is friendly though.

Yiman Chen

Great espresso! Delicious scones!

Jean Raymond Daher

Best iced coffee

François Guay

One of my colleague introduced me to this small coffee shop. Coffee lovers, you will be served. If you don’t like coffee, don’t go there. Coffee is excellent, and you can accompany it with a small selection of amazing cookies. Great spot to take a coffee break during a long dat of work.

Smadar B

Excellent coffee. The cold brew is well priced as well. Their scones are insanely good: try the feta+black pepper or banana+cardamom+chocolate ones!!!

Good coffee, like the ambiance. Loved the coffee smell in shop.

Excellent coffee, great little gem downtown

Megan Maxim

Melk Café is one of the worst coffees I have ever had. I ordered a mokachinno with dark chocolate. The presentation of my coffee was beautiful. However, when I took a sip, it did not taste like coffee or chocolate at all. My drink tasted like pure foamed milk, and I ended up throwing it away. Instead, I had to go to Starbucks to get a real coffee. I am incredibly disappointed with my experience at Melk Café, and this is not the place to go if you like strong coffee.

Discovering Destinations

We found this small cafe at Stanley and we loved it! Right in downtown, with cozy ambience, great selection for coffee and lattes, tasty scones and friendly staff. Perfect place for a quick stop or to read a book, study, chat with friends!

I was looking for a local place near me to get my green tea fix and glad I came across Melk. Lovely small cafe with good vibes. The staff were very friendly and served me with smile! The green tea was great, served in a cool pot and mug (be there moment). The cookie was delicious.

Jeremy Daw

Great almond cap. Quick service. Small place.

That Douche

My experience here was kinda lame. I only went once. Ordered an espresso allongee to go. The coffee was alright, but it cost $1 more than most places in town charge. I won't be going back.

Phil Kidd

Great coffee and hot chocolate.

Marjolaine G

Good coffee shop with some vegan options available (they run out quickly though). The vegan brownie is so delicious. Their drinks are really well made too. I usually pass by here to grab a coffee or chat with a coworker but there isn’t much sitting place so it can get a little crowded. Overall, would recommend!

We were looking for pretty and proper coffee place. We were exhausted during travel and we found this place! And my friend spilled her coffee and staff were very kind i really appreciated. It seems really busy during lunch time and they helped us and gave us another new coffee for free! Thank you :)

Ahmad Alrasheed

I tried this place a couple of times just to have a fair review. The place is nice, quite small, but it looks cozy a little bit. I don’t see it as a good place to study at or even to set for more than 20-30 minutes …

I was looking for a quiet place to study so I came here. I was charged 8$ for a scone and iced black tea. They didn't even add milk or sugar to the tea, just water, tea and ice. For 8$. And all that to learn they don't have wi-fi. The low …

Rachel Green

nice welcome, good mochaccino (iced!) and their baked goods looked tempting. a couple of places to sit, but honestly, their location abutting a parking garage, on an unpretty street, with a wee bench out front, doesn't do this little café justice.

Christopher Tweed

Cute and cozy! Delicious beverages and a fantastic vegan brownie!

Lynda Nanni

they make a great lemon infused tea

Stephanie Rodrigue

Great coffee and some nice homemade goodies !

Sylvain Rousseau

Coffee is decent but customer service is bad. Expect to wait in line for a while. On multiple occasions I’ve had to wait in the barista line for a cup of filtered coffee...when the coffee pot is right behind the cashier Don’t bother going during rush hours Edit: lowered score based on reply trying to cover/justify for blatant mistakes.

Salim Bamakhrama

Good coffee offering with excellent preparation

KK BB

Amazing cappuccino! Worth the line up. Service was quick considering the number of people. Only a few places to sit but I was doing to go. I will actually go out of my way to get a coffee there. Delicious REAL coffee

Benjamin Borruat

Crazy good coffee. The Americano can be had black, and will repay you with ultimate smoothness; no bitter.

sheldon cohen

Flat White was outstanding. Friendly service. Cozy setting.

I used to like this cafe before. However, Today I entered from the exit door by mistake because my car was parked inside and I didn’t see the exit sign which is not clearly visible. So the barista treated me like I was robbing the cafe and talked to me in a very unpleasant and impolite way. She was very rude and unprofessional. I’ll never come her again , and sure I’ll tell everyone I know to avoid this place .

Vanessa Cesbron

Great spot !

Geoff Stoneham

This place was highly recommended, but I found I disappointing. The pastry was extremely dry, the Americano was weak, the servers appeared to be confused and were serving those who ordered after us, before us. Maybe we just caught them on a bad day.

Rola Hamed

So sad they close early-ish (7pm) because I always end up wanting to stay longer! I don't drink coffee but I can vouch for the matcha latte because it was perfectly made every single time I ordered it and with a great design on top ;) I ordered once and went to the bathroom, by the time I came back my drink was cold so the barista made me a new one free of charge ❤️ This is what I call great service!

Naomi Bryant

Fantastic quality

Moe Rahman

There’s no going back to big chain coffee once you’ve tried a place like Melk. An entirely different experience, from the expertly prepared coffee to the heavenly scones to the interior decor and warm, friendly service, Melk is simply fantastic. One of my favorite spots in the area alongside Myriade and Humble Lion.

Jeffrey Simone

Great selection of tea and English speaking staff.

Sébastien Beaulieu

(Translated) Simply the best coffee in the city center. Efficient service, friendly staff and sublime coffee. Business customers. Small local and busy at any time of day.

Clientèle d'affaires. Petit local et achalandé à tout heure du jour. L'endroit n'est donc pas idéal pour étudier ou discuter de sujets confidentiels.

Best matcha latte I got (without sugar) and with 1%milk. Super friendly stuff ! Highly recommend!

J Ma

No kidding when I say this is one of the better coffee places in Montreal. Melk is also well stocked up with great quality pastries...

M. M

Cute little place with great but a bit expensive drinks. No wifi though. Oh and they close early, which is kind of understandable in terms of their location.

Kate Michetti

Delicious coffee

Min Seok Kim

Not a lot of seats, but cozy and comfortable. Also, it is quiet. I think the scones are very good.

Rokshana Begum

Coffee and maple the ultimate comfy drink for all Montralers like me. Their maple latte is to die for. The staff are very creative on their design. Their donut only served on the weekends are the delicacy you want to indulge on. Soft and right of sweetness.

I went there with two friends on a saturday afternoon but we ended up leaving because we had no place. It is a very small coffeeshop!

Despite its diminutive size, the high ceilings, large windows and strategic positioning of a large mirror makes the place feel much bigger that it actually is. Because it's so small it obviously has limited seating, but they serve great coffee and have friendly staff. Definitely worth checking out!

Lovely, hipster style coffee joint. This is the second location for these guys, the first one being located on Monks and off of Decarie. So it's a given, that parking is an impossibility here, but if you are lucky enough to park in the area, please do yourself a favor and check this place out. Their lattes are plain awesome.

One of the best new wave joints in the area. Keep it up!
