We tried to go to Café September and it was really packed so we kept walking and found this café across from a different café, which has nothing vegan. We've tried to sit outside, but it was going to rain so they close the outside and we sat inside at one of the only four person tables in the front of the restaurant. We were given water and our drink order was taken so quickly. The hot oat maple matcha latte was really good and my friends drank their coffee. I heard that the hot chocolate was very rich and creamy. We found some vegan options on the menu and the falafel was nice and crunchy. I tried the avocado toast and some of the other dips which were so yummy. The bread was thick and crunchy. Everything seems really fresh and had a cute presentation. Thank you!! read more

Listen, I understand that the "best" food in Montreal is French cuisine. That's logical. But guess where I stopped in for a second helping on my vacation? Barley. This place is awesome. The highlight of course is the cereal selection. You can get a mix of 2, throw in some 5% premium milk, and you got a real breakfast stew cookin. They also sell chia bowls that my wife loved. The custom cereal for sale to go was tremendous. The croissants were pretty darn good too. The space is inviting too. Cartoons are playing on the wall and there is plenty of room. I dug the jazzy music mix as well! A cereal bar is opening near me and I am hoping it compares to Barley. That's how much I enjoyed it! read more

Barley has been on my list forever. So glad I finally got to try it. I was aware of the cereal concept before coming in so keep in mind things are going to taste very unique here. I ordered the waffle fried chicken and it was so different from what I expected. Slightly spicy and tangy, a bit like sweet chilli fried chicken on top of a waffle with a side salad. The side salad was a bit too bland. I didn't like the dressing as it was very light and there wasn't enough anyways so the mixed greens were bland. However, it's definitely the top place to get a cute instagram picture! read more

We got a quick brunch here before heading to the airport. Barley is in the cutest neighborhood- Little Burgundy. Sadly, we were a bit too early before many of the local stores were open. I ordered a vanilla latte and my friend got their matcha pancakes and a regular latte. Vanilla latte was served in a huge cup, almost like a bowl. It was a good latte but wouldn't say it blew my mind or anything. The matcha pancakes were also nice, sweet with the match flavor coming on strong. It's very much an IG brunch restaurant that caters to those who wants a photogenic plate. Nothing wrong with that and it lives up to that. Food wise, average at best. read more

@barley takes brunch CEREAL-sly with a whole LATTE love ---- : Barley - Bar à Céréales (Montreal, QC) : Cereal Milk Latte ($6 CAD), Matcha Lavender Latte (~$6 CAD), Le Tassie Devil ($11.50 CAD), Le Gaufre Farcie au Halloumi avec Poulet ($23.00) Munchie Mandates: - Great for people with a sweet tooth (I would double recommend the cereal latte for both the aesthetic and the sugar rush). It is a bit on the sweeter side (both the drinks and the food) so be wary if you are sensitive on the sugar - The baked chicken and waffles is a definite must try. Sweet potato waffles are the perfect pairing to the crunchy (yet surprisingly not greasy) cereal breaded chicken. - Interior and local area make it a great place to bring friends or dates, since you can enjoy the ambiance inside or take walk outside to digest before going for seconds. read more

Decided to hop into Little-Burgundy for a nice brunch ! Cozy and fresh ambiance, with friendly staff. There pancakes melt in your mouth and are so thick and delicious. For all you zaatar and labneh fans out there , I highly recommend trying there déjeuner libanais plate.

Had to update my review because all those amazing vegan breakfast options have been removed for more than a year now. It shouldn't be this hard to find vegan brunch in Montreal but here we are.... And no a chia bowl and avocado toast are not vegan breakfast or brunch options. read more

Cute little spot with nice drinks and a fun theme (cereal EVERYWHERE)! Got a chai latte which I liked and then had these blueberry pancakes and a chicken & waffle dish. The pancakes were good. Nice and sweet. Chicken and Waffle dish was probably my favorite. Whatever glaze/sauce they had on the chicken was super flavorful. The waffle could have been fluffier, but I think they were definitely going for it being a bit thinner/healthier? so i get it. Overall a good spot and I'd recommend for sure! Stay Cheerful ;) read more

The food is just fine. They go light on the protein. I understand it's called barely and the bread is tasty but I dunno. It's all a little lacklustre. Service was average; food took ages to arrive (it was not busy). Just fine as well. Ambiance was typical. read more

Barley is a spacious brunch spot in the Saint-Henri neighborhood in Montreal worth visiting. Here's why: 1) Food: For brunch, they have a brunch and lunch menu available with a variety of choices from smoothies to salads to sandwiches to chia bowels. My wife ordered the halumi plate and it was well balanced with an egg, olives, creamy labneh, pita, and more. My Le Cherry Wood open faced sandwich was so good with the beat hummus and egg on it. 2) Drinks: The coffee list is unique. My wife enjoyed the iced tumeric latte and my charcoal latte was delicious and comes with a side of cereal on it. 3) Atmosphere: It's beautiful and spacious. There are two dining rooms and a few picnic tables outside. 4) Service: We went on a Sunday morning and only waited for 7-10 minutes. The service was friendly and fast. read more

I have been to Barely's many many times during the week. I have seen they have a new brunch menu on the weekends from Friday to Sunday. I been devouring their brunch dishes pictures thru my eyes from all the social media. I studied their brunch menu by heart. When I arrived to have brunch today, I knew what am I getting. First, we started with their beautiful looking lattes; I had the beet latte and my sister had the charcoal latte. It was the smoothest and creamiest lattes ever and to top it, they were delicious. Then the superstar arrived on my table. The matcha pancakes topped with white chocolate sauce, plus strawberries and blueberries. The presentation was so stunning, and I felt like a criminal to put my knife through these pancakes. But my tummy wanted justice, so the crime was committed, and justice was served. It was perfect blend of all the ingredients and the taste was heavenly. On the other hand, my sister inhaled her chicken and sweet potatoes waffles. She loved it very very much. We arrived around 10:30, it was pretty packed. But when we were about to leave, we had hard time to get out because it was so packed, and the line up for seats grown so much within the hour. Nonetheless, the service was quick, efficient and lovely. Initially, I wasn't optimistic about how a cereal bar would sustain, but Barley proved me wrong, and it is here to stay for long time... I can't wait to come back from another brunch, so I can try other dishes from the menu. read more

4.5 This is such an awesome brunch spot! If you're going to the Atwater market and want a nice option for brunch or a lunch, Barley is the place!! They have a cool cereal bar concept, and a really great brunch menu. I came on a Sunday and got a table with no issue. The restaurant is really aesthetic...they have the nicest seating and really cool plants and decor to make for s great ambience. The servers are also super friendly and helpful. Decided on s couple of things and shared...avocado toast, granola bowl, quinoa salad, and frittata. Everything arrived looking so picturesque. This place was super instagrammable. I personally had the avocado toast and it was amazing. Really nicely done. I also tried some quinoa salad which was a very large portion size and quite filling! I also had to get their cereal ice cream in which you choose a cereal and they make it into a McFlurry type of thing...I got fruity pebbles ice cream which was delicious. The prices are also quite reasonable here. In all a Really solid brunch spot! read more

Barley - Bar à Céréales is located in the Little Burgundy neighborhood in Montreal, Quebec. They provide picture perfect dishes, which arrive exactly as shown on the photos of the website. They both look great, and taste great. I've ordered delivery with Uber Eats, and the order was prepared and dispatched very quickly. On the menu: * Chicken and Waffles (Baked cereal breaded chicken, sweet potato waffle,spicy maple sauce, green onions and a fennel salad + and extra poached egg) * Matcha Pancake (White chocolate sauce, hibiscus syrup, fresh strawberries and blueberries) The Waffles were sweet and crunchy, and so was the Chicken. The maple sauce provided the necessary extra kick to the flavours and the fennel salad has smoothened it all with its freshness. The Matcha Pancakes were thick, fluffy and flavourful. The white chocolate and hibiscus sauces added the perfect final touches to the dish. Instagram: @barley read more

Went out for a Sunday brunch and this places was on my list of spot to try, we had arrived here at about 1pm and there was a 30 minute wait but you could leave you phone number and have them call you when your table is ready. There menu is unique with a lot of cereal themed items like a number of lattes with available cereal toppings, I had chosen the matcha latte and it was delicious but if you planning on getting a sweet dish for your main it might be a lot. For my main I got the matcha pancakes the portion size was big so you'll really be filled up, the pancakes themselves were good in flavour but had an issue with the texture they weren't as fluffy as most other pancakes. Overall the meal was enjoyable and staff was friendly I would come back and try some different item read more

This place is absolutely stunning. Everything from the decor to the chairs, to the tables, cups, etc. is gorgeous. The menu is very diverse and has items you wouldn't find anywhere else. We started off with their well-renowned latte + cereal. My friends had the normal latte, I took it with maple syrup. Both were absolutely delightful. We then ordered food: matcha pancakes, the gravlax plate, superfood bowl (true blue) and the sweet potato waffles with smoked salmon. Everything we ordered was truly delicious, perfectly flavoured and the presentation for each plate was to die for. Also, the price is very affordable for the quality of the ingredients they're using. The only reason I'm giving this place 4 stars is because of the service that day. It was very slow. It took us 45 minutes to get our food, and the place wasn't too crowded. I'd like to believe there was something wrong that day and it was the reason for our long wait. Despite the wait, I would definitely recommend this place for brunch!!! A must try in Montreal with a unique concept and a beautiful setting. read more

I've walked by many times past this quaint little corner restaurant. Once inside you realize the place is much bigger. They have an extra room that can be reserved for special events. The many windows offer lots of natural light inside. My server was very eager to share her recommendations once she learned it was my first time. She warned me the cereal milk latte would be sweet and in combination with the matcha pancakes, it made for a very sweet breakfast. The stack of pancakes was generous and you can really taste the matcha, they don't just put it in for colour, you actually taste the flavour. The drizzle is pretty sweet and complements the fruits also. I truly enjoyed my cereal milk latte and all the cereal on top and in the saucer really made it a fun drink. They have quite a varied menu and I can't wait to go back to try other items. Once again, I had great service from Kira, her happiness was contagious. read more

Adding to the wealth of brunch spots on Notre Dame street, Barley is a cereal bar located right near Lionel-Groulx metro. This cereal bar is definitely one of the first of its kind in Montreal. They have a wide assortment of different cereals to your heart's desire. They also have the regular brunch options such as sandwiches, smoothie bowls and chia seed puddings. I had the Safari smoothie bowl which was tasty and fresh. The prices are very reasonable and you can have a healthy, affordable breakfast/lunch. The coffee was fantastic I would definitely recommend! read more

I came here with my boyfriend today (Sunday). Luckily we didn't have to wait for a table. This restaurant is so beautiful! I love the layout and the decor. Theres a big screen tv behind the bar and they were playing an episode of Seinfeld. When you go the bathroom there's a hallway of just mirrors. It's pretty cool. I ordered a matcha latte and my boyfriend ordered an orange juice. At first we found the service to be very slow because it took forever to get our food and other people who came in after us got their order before us. I ordered the gluten free matcha pancakes and my boyfriend ordered the halloumi plate so they weren't very long dishes to make. I think the waitress had forgotten to put in our order and that was why we waited so long. We had somewhere to be at at 12:30 pm so we asked the waitress where are food was since it was already noon. She said we were next to get our food. My boyfriend was about to leave to run an errand and come back when our food finally came 15 min later. The waitress apologized and took the bill for us. It was very much appreciated! So what I thought was initially bad service ended up being excellent service! It was too bad we had to rush and eat quickly but we still enjoyed it. The food itself was delicious! The matcha pancakes were perfection! They were so fluffy and filling. It was not too sweet despite the white chocolate sauce. There were blueberries and strawberries on and around the pancakes as well. It was very pretty to look at and an absolute delight to eat! My boyfriend's halloumi plate was amazing! This was better than the Arabic breakfast my boyfriend makes at home - but don't tell him I said that. There was halloumi cheese, labneh, olives, tomatoes and cucumber. My boyfriend would have preferred Lebanese cucumbers instead of regular English cucumbers but I enjoyed it. Also it was a bit strange to have a cold boiled egg because it wasn't expected. The dish came with a bread that was soft and tasty as well! I really enjoyed this dish. I will definitely be back. I would love to try their smoothie bowls and also take advantage of the bottomless mimosas for $28!! I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Avocado toast has yummy feta, radishes, and i think lemon! The lattes were both exceptional, and the added cereal (for 1$ extra) is a cute touch. I think I slightly preferred the traditional latte, but if you're looking for a change the pink latte has a subtle cardamom flavour. The staff was friendly and patient, and the place has lots of natural light. Love it! read more

We had a reservation for 11:15am but our table wasn't ready when we arrived, they said "We will text you". Huh? Where were we supposed to go? To the bar across the street.

Disappointed we didn't get to try Barley out. read more

I came here on a Sunday around 10:30. There was a small line forming but not super long. Unfortunately my two friends and I were placed at a table near the door which brought in a brisk wind every few minutes. Although I asked the waiter to be moved to the other available tables, she found excuses not to move us, not off to the best start. Fortunately, the fun menu made up for the lackluster service. The whole cereal thing, which at first I found a bit lame, ended up being pretty fun. My friend ordered the cereal latte and it was definitely unique. I've never seen this anywhere else and I think it's a fun novelty to try. I ordered the chicken and sweet potato waffles. It came with a side salad which was way overdressed unfortunately. The chicken and waffles were very yummy. My friends each ordered one of their fancy toasts and both enjoyed. The addition of a tumeric egg completed their meals and brought it up a notch. Overall, the atmosphere is really cool and "instagrammable". A bit pricy but appropriate for the area. Looking forward to coming back! read more

I often see their signature matcha pancake picture all over social media and have been dying to try it for a while now. The pancakes were delicious, moist, fluffy and everything I imagined them to be. I also really liked the sweet potato waffles and the salmon gravlax that I got. They were delicious. My only critique is that I find the portions to be a tiny bit too small for the price, but this won't stop me from going back again for brunch. read more

This adorable cafe is a combination of mouthwatering and creative brunch meals! It also have such a nice ambiance and decor! It's a great place to come with friends and have a small brunch photoshoot, the food presentation is amazing. The regular latte already come with cereals on the side, but you can add more. The latte itself does not contain caffeine but I also couldn't taste much from it and its quite bland. I took their Matcha Pancakes and it tasted amazing! It isn't overly sweet and is quite fluffy. I do wish they give more fruits because after a few bites the pancakes become heavy. As they give a large portion, I would suggest to share it with a friend so you can try a bit of everything. There was a small mix up in our order for our coffee but they were really nice and tried to make up for it. The service was fast and the staff were very friendly. They only accept reservation for groups of 4+ people, so it is best that you go early. I'll definitely come back to try the other items on their menu! read more

Coming straight from Toronto, this was my first pit stop in Montreal (before seeing my own grandma! Don't tell her)... I found this place through Instagram and thought the cereal in latte concept was cute. Today I got matcha pancakes and a beet latte with cereal. I just about died and went to food heaven with the pancakes. How cute I was to think I would eat them with a fork and knife. I ditched the knife and just started eating the pancakes like a cake. It was sooooo filling and glorious. With regards to the beet latte, it was good but I could have done without the (stale) cereal (which was extra $ for the cereal drizzle). Damn you instagram, damn you. I didn't even end up eating the cereal. Just want to add, this place has lots of healthy options too from fruit parfaits to chia or smoothie bowls. I just decided to go the diabetic route today. I'll be sure to stop by again and try different menu item! Bonus: free wifi (no password) and lots of sitting/study/do whatever the heck you do in a cafe space. read more

BARLEY FOR THE 'GRAM A M B I A N C E Lots of young adults here for brunch! Most people are in groups of 2 but they do have some bigger groups. This place is very Instagramable. They do have Take-Out, as delivery people came into the restaurant to pick up all the way at the inside bar. This place is made for millenials, who just finished a run or local yoga workout who wants a nice photo for their Instagram. C L E A N L I N E S S This place looks very modern and clean! There's some TVs playing classic Saturday morning cartoons (we got to watch The Jetsons). O V E R A L L Q U A L I T Y Expect a long wait. But this place is way more than a cereal bar! We had the French Toast Brioche, which is a Meal Share item and the Baked Chicken and Waffles. The chicken was a little hard and dry at times... But the restaurant Prohobition in NDG (it has since closed down) has ruined us for chicken and waffles (it had the BEST brunch, omg) , so we're quite picky. They had like chicken fingers coated in 'Rice Krispy' like cereal, which made it quite crunchy, making your jaw work for your meal. The French Toast Brioche was good, the berries overpowered the egg. I didn't particularly like that, but if you want something sweet this is for you! The cloudy egg is very different! Give it a shot if you're curious! C O S T $$ They have bottomless mimosas!! Why is this not advertised?!? $28 all you can drink mimosas! Coffee is between $2.5-5 depending what you get. Smoothies $8. Meals cost between $12-20 depending what you got. W A I T T I M E S We arrived on a Sunday at 12:25pm. We waited 10 minutes before sitting down. Then we waited 15 minutes before someone brought us water and took our orders. It took another 10-15 minutes for our coffees to arrive. Then a couple of minutes until the food arrived. Not bad. P A R K I N G No parking lot, paid parking on the streets! You can find free parking, but you still have to walk a bit! L O C A T I O N On Notre-Dame and Charlevoix. Great spot for all millenials in the area. They know their target market and everything looks great for the 'gram. read more

Love the pancakes au matcha! Visited twice in one week! Great ambiance. Flavors were unexpected and perfect at the same time.

I've seen so many IG worthy pics here and I had to come by and get my IG shot as well. Its a super cute and cosy brunch place. We went around noon for brunch and it was packed! A bit loud but people were here studying/doing work. There were lots of seatings near the front and back, with a variety of couch and bar-like seats. We got a cappuccino and matcha latte to start. Both were perfect and pretty. I got the Le Salmon Sole Toast and it was amazing! It was on a sesame flat bread with a gray-ish purple spread, topped with lightly smoked salmon, capers, onions, and dill. It came with a salad with vinaigrette dressing as well. I also tried the Sweet Potato Waffles with lightly smoked salmon, salad, and poached eggs. I didn't know these combinations would work so well and it was both so flavorful without being overly sweet or salty. Overall, its a great place to hang out with friends, or get that perfect IG picture. Its really artsy with a great ambiance. Its also a dog-friendly place which is a plus because I got to see cute dogs, super worth it!! read more

Barley - Matcha latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Wow, this place is as good as it gets. It was my first time in Montreal, let alone in Canada. I wanted to go to all of the delicious, yet Insta worthy places. While scrolling and searching through Instagram, I came across this place. They have a cool cereal concept going on, and I love how aesthetic the place looks. Service here is super dope and friendly, they seated us right away. My friend and I ordered lattes first, which I got the charcoal latte with soy milk and she got the cereal latte. I wish I had gotten the cereal latte because it looked so good! I was about the get the matcha latte, but I wanted to try something different for a change. The charcoal is very subtle, has a sweet coconut taste to it. The cereal latte was pretty but wasn't sweet. The sweetness came from the cereal, but the espresso was great. What I love is when food taste as amazing as it looks. We ordered three things to share, the matcha pancakes, the almond butter toast, and the avocado toast. The toasts were served on baguettes, and topped with a generous amount of everything. I loved the almond butter toast because the toast was crunchy yet soft, and had both sweet and salty mix to it since the butter and jelly complimented each other. The avocado toast was also really good, even amounts and the arugula was a nice touch. I LOVED the matcha pancakes It came plated beautifully (along with the other dishes) and I loved the different sizes of pancakes, with the sauce and fresh fruits on the side. The matcha pancakes weren't overpoweringly sweet and they were very moist and decadent. Service here is amazing, always checking up and asking if we needed anything. Once you're done with your meal, you pay at the counter and tell them what table you sat at. I can't wait to be back in Montreal and I can't wait to come back to Barley! read more
