What a little oasis in the city, loved my experience here! I stumbled across this cafe while visiting and I could tell it looked like a popular local spot. There was a small line but the wait was short. I ordered a cappuccino and a BLT bagel sandwich. Both were really great. The cappuccino was one of the best ones I've had on my trip. The beans they picked were good, and the milk was steamed perfectly. The BLT bagel sandwich really caught me by surprise. I honestly wasn't expecting too much. They did such a good job balancing all the flavors and it didn't feel like a heavy sandwich like some BLT sandwiches can be. The general feel of the cafe is very cozy and comfortable. The window in the front let in amazing light, making the cafe such an inspirational spot (would be amazing to spend a day in there working). There were also plants everywhere and the greenery is such a nice touch. They even had fresh flowers on every table (so rare to find these days). The staff were super friendly. You ordered at the counter, get your number for the table, and the staff members would bring you your food. I was there in the morning and everyone had a smile on their face. The space seemed to uplift everyone's mood in there. I had such a great first time impression of this place and I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.
I was looking for some eggs for protien for breakfast but not in a traditional diner style and this coffee shop popped up with a frittata option! It was delicious, with a unique super smooth texture topped with lightly dressed crunch vegetables and optional hearty seedy bread and butter on the side. Just what I needed to fill me up to explore Montreal. Logistics: - indoor seating and a bench out the front door - entrance is to the right of window into the cafe, the door to the left is to a private residence - limited street parking nearby
With a line out the door on a Thursday morning, we knew this spot had to be a good one. Different than a typical restaurant, you will first place your order and then be seated. The cafe itself is very homey and comfortable. The service was fantastic, the staff had a smile on their faces and were so kind. We tried the bagel and cream cheese, croissant, and the danoise dejuener. Such a simple breakfast but absolutely delicious and filling.
Montréal. Down the street from my favorite stay is La Finca, a down right old school coffee house, single source, super tasty and delicious. And then in addition to this yummy coffee are really good pastries: the mini canele is addictive, as are the breads and vegan bars. The breakfast Danish (Danoise Dejeuner) is very good also with a half baked yolk, Dijon mustard, tomato and cheese on a light crust pastry. It gets crowded during rush hour (you are warned). In summer the back porch opens up; a super nice option to sit outside and relax. Service is always brisk and helpful in the 8-10 times I've visited. I looove this coffee house. End of Yelp.
You order, then sit, you cannot sit before your party orders. The counter staff will tell you where you can sit after you order your food. Ordered a BLT, granola, Shaksuka, frittata, classic Sencha tea, mocha latte with oat milk (small cup only here). C$70.07/$49.93 The mocha latte is ok. The classic Sencha is quite weak, even after steeping for a while. The Sencha after a steep tastes like water. The BLT is pretty yummy, the bacon is crispy and not super fatty. The bagel could be thicker and chewier, like a NYC bagel. The Shaksuka is good, although I would have poached the well. The tomato base is good, very Italianesque. The frittata is good, light and fluffy. The salad atop is decent. The house made granola isn't bad, could be better with more honey in the bake? The yogurt if it was thicker, maybe a Greek yogurt would make this better, along with berries and maybe bananas. The yogurt is so light, reminds me of plain milk.
Place is cute, people are very friendly! You order at the counter and then they will give you a number and ask you to find a seat. I got a cappuccino and the BLT bagel. Cappuccino was pretty but not very strong, the bagel was delicious! Good toasted sesame bagel, with bacon, tomato and salad inside. Enjoyed my visit at this cute cafe!
I came in since it was close to my hotel. It was quite busy and I placed an order to go at the counter. Its a cute place. I ordered a focaccia sandwich with pastrami and a BLT and muffin for my friend. The muffins were somewhat small but the other pastries looked good. I waited to the side for my order and the kitchen is open so you can see whats going on. It took a little while for my food to come out. I was watching them put my order together and assumed my sandwich was a large piece of bread. They handed it to me and I walked back to my hotel to meet my friends. I opened the bag and noticed what I received was not a sandwich but appeared to be eggs which Im allergic to. I packed the bag back up and walked back. I explained the situation and was told the person at the counter heard FRITTATA not FOCACCIA when I ordered. The woman who helped me understood and was very helpful with getting my order corrected and offered a pastry to make up for the mistake while they made my sandwich. When I had the pastrami it was delicious!
Cute and cozy café, suitable for grabbing a quick bite, buying coffee and pastries to go, or sit down and work from all day long. The service is fast and efficient. Came here for a weekday breakfast and there was already lineup outside the café. They have delicious pastries and croissants, but matcha latté didn't have any taste and the américano was burnt.
Stumbled into this place on my way to a tradeshow, amazing breakfast , wonderful coffee, happy people... Definitely will be back
Best espresso in Canada yet, friendly welcoming service and copious seating available. Went back the day after for breakfast; better deal and coffee quality than hotel haha. Recommended
La Finca is a nice way to kick off your morning with some delish pastries. This crowded bakery offers some strong coffee and delicious croissants along with other items. Staff were pleasant but expect to wait a while for your food or drink. Please atmosphere to plan out your day or just do nothing while you sip your coffee.
Cute, casual, counter-order cafe with a small selection of food items but still enough to satisfy a large group of different preferences. I got the frittata which was breadless and vegetarian, a good departure from a croissant or a savory meat sandwich, although they do have those options! The matcha latte with oat milk I ordered was so smooth and slightly sweet even though I had it with no sweetener. Definitely a must try if you're into matcha. Service was great as well!
Such a cute coffee shop! I'd say get here early or there will be a line up. There's seating at the front section of the cafe but there's almost a back section and a little terrace. I saw the breakfast danish online but they unfortunately don't make that anymore. I opted for the breakfast sandwich instead and it didn't disappoint! The BLT bagel was also very yummmy. Bacon was cooked to perfection. Nice and crispy. The iced mocha was delicious. London Fog latte could've been stronger (but I love earl grey and I prefer a verrry strong earl grey taste). In addition to food and beverages, they also sell cute merch (totes, shirts, hats, etc). read more

I came around 12pm on a sunday and there was a line out the door. The interior is cute and there is a lot of merch you can purchase. There were no tables, but luckily i was placing an order togo. The wait for the food also took a pretty long time as they were busy. I got a matcha latte which tasted a little bitter. The sandwich was good though a little messy since the tomato juices + the sauce kept dripping through the bag. read more

I cannot say enough good things about the food, service and aesthetic. We happened by this brunch style spot by chance and it made us feel like the luckiest people in the area. The menus are provided in both French and English making the selection of delicious breakfast bites easy. The Breakfast Danish is baked to perfection with a yolky but not too runny egg. Spring Brunch with poached eggs, ham, peas, potato salad over greens was refreshing. And the matcha latte was soothing. Paired with a hidden outdoor seating area the ambiance truly makes you feel on vacation, even if for a short stop for food. A charming place that shouldn't be missed. read more

LA FINCA . . cute little cafe located in downtown Montreal. We visited early Saturday morning just past 8am and the cafe was already really busy. They serve a variety of pastries and coffee. . . Croissant 4.5/5 Latte 4/5 Americano 4/5 . . Croissants were super flaky and buttery. Honestly would have gotten a second one if I had the stomach space. The latte and americano were both delicious as well. Coffee flavour was strong and very smooth. If you're looking to grab a quick bite/coffee I highly recommend giving them a visit. read more
What a gem in downtown Montreal for excellent coffee, good brunch selection, and a really cute vibe. We picked up or ate in all three mornings that we were in town for the Grand Prix. Order at the counter and the attentive staff will bring your items and check whether you need anything else. Very cute selection of merch available too for a local souvenir. read more

Racist staff. Over rated. Over priced. And terrible service. Long long waits foe mediocre drinks and food. I was told by my friend from Montreal that this was one of her favourite brunch spots in montreal. Once entering, it packed and I just wanted some takeout. The hostess assured me the finca omelette takes just 6 minutes to make and I would be able to get my order in time before my break was over for a conference attending. I ordered the maple syrup latte and the finca omelette. The coffee was delicious but it was in the served in the smallest cup ever. I felt like for $7 for a cup probably 3 times the size of an expression shot to be a ripoff. Not impressed. Then I was waiting for my takeout order and the waitress gave my order to the person behind me (who of course was a francophone) and I ended up waiting over 30 minutes for my omelette and the francophone 8 people behind me didn't even wait 1 minute for his order. He paid and took my food and left. I know the francophone always give them preferred service. But this was unfair and uncalled for and completely biased and racist in my opinion. Never again will I support such an establishment with such biased preferential treatment to francophone and utter disregard for fairness and equality. CANCEL La finca. It is not worth the hype and is completely over rated and over priced. To top it off, my omlette was so tiny made with maybe two eggs and was finished in a few bites which was extremely disappointing flavour wise and left me still hungry for breakfast. Avoid at all costs!!! read more

Nice latte and matcha I gave a good tip before collecting but a little mix up. They gave the latte to someone else and remade mine ice. read more
This is a very nice spot. It feels really cozy and I expected it to be a lot more expensive but it was actually very decently priced. The croissant was nothing to write home about, honestly it was kind of bad. It might have been on the counter the whole day. The matcha was really good. I really enjoyed the taste which was really strong and matcha like. I think it is a great spot to work or go with a bunch of friends and have a brunch. A lot of MTL cafes have quite a list of merch haha this one had nice totes. read more

Super cozy and cute place that serves different options for breakfast or brunch. As a bonus, it opens earlier than most places in that neighbourhood (except for perhaps Ange), which is great for people that wake up too early for other breakfast places. We went there today around 9h30 - the place was bustling! We ordered a dalh soup and a yoghurt/granola to eat in-house. After the vaccine check, we went to sit in the back, where it was more quiet. The back of the shop used to have more seats, but they now have an attractive display of products (e.g. sauces, meal prep packages, fancy tea, nuts) from local and other producers. The food was kindly brought to our table. The soup was pure comfort, with turmeric and ginger adding heat to the carrots and onions. The granola bowl had a perfec little row of unblemished banana slices. The granola was far from overly sweet - it was actually bordering on savoury. The yoghurt underneath was rich but not dense. It seemed whipped: mousse-like in density, but without the bubbles. Tasty! I appreciate La Finca's variable and interesting menu (Butterccino!). A nice little spot for everyone! read more

Everything about La Finca was spot on. The smoothie was AMAZING; the hints of ginger in there combined with a variety of fruits made for an extremely tasty morning boost. I also got a croissant, which was very fluffy on the inside, and crispy on the outside at the same time. I highly recommend La Finca to anyone in the area. read more

Came because of reviews and was slightly disappointed in the chai latte. It is a spicy chai (which I do not mind), but it was very grainy. A bit of a turn off. The cappuccino was better. It's just that we found much better cafés in the area, 3 stars. read more

La Finca was the crowning winner of our weeklong quest to try out and discover as many local, indie coffee spots as we could during our visit to attend the Canadian F1 Grand Prix and our stay in Old Montreal (in the Chinatown area at the new Homewood Suites (some kinks the hotel needs to address but, overall, can't beat the central, walk-to-everything location and it being steps away from a metro station - would stay there again for sure)). Indie coffee shops are cute and quaint but, let's face it, cute and quaint mean squat if the drinks don't cut it. La Finca checked all the boxes! TWO THIMBS UP. The interior was well laid out, decorated tastefully, trendy but comfortable, open, bright, light and inviting. Oh - and clean and neat. A large open seating area greets you as you step through the doors, great bar-height seating all along the front window line (perfect people watching perch!), more table seating in the back and even a cute little back deck seating area on beautiful sunny days like the day we went. SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT - friendly, smiley, cheery workers, our drinks came out quickly and promptly and the barista/server made awesomely tasty lattes - strong, flavorful and piping hot - unlike some of the other coffee shops we tried whose drinks were disappointingly just barely hot (to the point where I wondered if this is a thing in Montreal that I wasn't aware of...). Our barista's latte foam art handiwork added just the right nice touch....it's those little things that put a smile on your face, you know? We took our drinks to go as we were enroute to take in the City and stroll and shop on St. Catherine's Street for the afternoon. Nothing like nursing a perfect latte during an afternoon of strolling and shopping on a beautiful sunny Summer afternoon. :) Highly recommend a stop-in here and if you want to take a load off and take a little coffee break, this is the place to do it! read more

Cute little homey cafe that would also be a great place to work! It looked like the had some tables that could be sort of sectioned off if you even wanted to have a small meeting here. Great selection of little pastries that seem fairly unique (I only visited Montreal for a conference for a few days so I can't say I know the food layout well). read more

By far, our favorite small Montreal cafe. Great coffee and super friendly staff. This place reminds us of the great casual coffee shops that we used to have in our neighborhood - Chelsea, NYC before the mega coffee shops arrived Great croissant egg sandwich, mochas and lattes read more
Four of us were lucky enough to have scored an Airbnb right around the corner from this fantastic cafe. We loved it so much we came for three out of our four mornings in Montreal. I cannot recommend it enough if you want perfect tea, coffee, pastries and the world's most perfect breakfast EVER!...the Breakfast Danish is flaky square puff pastry with an egg that's delicately cooked. It oozes open and there's just the right amount of cheese, bacon and tomato under. Words cannot express how perfect and wonderful it is. (see pic!!) I also can attest to a perfect chocolate croissant, and the one bite I got of Husband's phenomenal Grilled Cheese w/what must have been sauteed leeks. So rich and delicious. Others liked their Granola w/fruit and yogurt so much that they got it every time. Coffees are perfect, as are the pots of tea. It's not a big place, but we only ran into seating problems one time, but still managed to find room at the window. Otherwise there are a few tables for four and a communal table. LOVED that they say no laptops on the tables for four, to maximize seating potential. Order at the counter, pay, find a seat and get ready for the most perfect way to start the day! read more
