La Magnanime salad
Helene C.

After a visit at the Oratoire, my cousin and I had lunch here. I wanted a panini, then I ordered Le végé (grilled vegetables, artichoke tapenade and parmesan on ciabatta). I loved the vegetables and wished there was more of it. My cousin had La Maganime (smoked salmon, avocado, cucumber, mesclun, chive sour cream, lemon and olive oil dressing), their most popular salad. I guess because of the pandemic, they decided to serve food on plastic container. The building used to be a house, the ambiance and decor is cozy. The stairs to the 2nd floor are on another door, outside of the balcony. Upstairs, there are seatings in different rooms, which makes it semi-private. The bathroom is nice and bright. They even used the bathtub to grow plants. Love the place for its cozy homey feel.

Banana Strawberries Smoothie with a Chocolatine
Sebastien L.

Super service for real and amazing employee . Very great food and fantastic looking location. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 it's that getting to the 2nd floor was a bit confusing for me since you gotta go outside to enter next door. Which after a bit I thought I was at the wrong place even tho I was at the right one . But TBH I definitely recommand this place

This is not a review of the food since I haven't come here for a meal yet but I definitely will in the near future! This was my first time at this conveniently located café right near my university. I went during winter break (for students) so I assume it gets much busier during the school year. I really liked the atmosphere as soon as I walked in. The employees were smiling and there was a relaxed vibe. I was instantly attracted to all the delicious looking desserts but ended up going with a croissant and a latte. Both were excellent. Prices were pretty good and the prices for the brunch dishes looked fair. There were many people working on their laptops but I noticed that it might be difficult to find an outlet for your charger. I was just meeting with a friend so this wasn't an issue for me. I will update once I go there for brunch!

Forgot the name but it has bacon and avocado.  Delicious and beautiful!

Very cute cafe with friendly workers who were patient with my English even though it was a busy time for them. It's a pretty intimate place. Several people were there with laptops either working or studying and a couple people were there for what looked like possible business meetings over coffee. I do have to say though that the lighting isn't the best for those of you wanting to look for a cafe to do some reading. We stopped by for brunch and it was a treat! The presentation is amazing! The food is good but unfortunately I can't remember the name of the plate I order. The whole menu is in french on a chalkboard. I don't know french and unfortunately did not get a picture of the chalkboard. I think my plate was the only one on the menu that had bacon and avocado on it. Anyway it's definitely worth checking out if you want to experience an intimate friendly atmosphere of a modest Montreal cafe.

Le Paresseux Eggs Benedict!
Trevor T.

Alright, alright! My girlfriend and I were looking for some Saturday morning brunch, and we came here on a whim. You'll notice immediately upon entering the café how cozy it is. Considering its close proximity to University of Montréal, I suspect this is a great place for studying. Many people had their laptops and notebooks out, so you wouldn't be out of place if you wanted to do some work here. The café has a very peaceful vibe, and the staff were amiable. The coffee prices were decent, and their brunch options were great. I love Eggs Benedict, and I will almost always order one whenever it is offered. I had "Le Paresseux", and I was surprised at how generous the portions were for the price. As you can see in my photos, there was the Eggs Benedict, a salad and a side of potatoes. The salad was surprisingly delicious, and really well seasoned. One of my eggs were a little overcooked, but it was alright. I also ordered a cappucino, which was decent, even if it was a little weaker than I'm used to. There were, however, a few flies that tried to get between me and my food. Despite this, Caravane Café is a great place to grab brunch or to get some work done. Would recommend!

La Luxure for $10.95

Nice retro-styled cafe and brunch place. I ordered egg benedict on salmon. The eggs were a little over poached but the food still tasted very good. The salmon and fruits were fresh. You need to pay before eating. Order at the cashier then they will take the food to you. This place is usually very full, so go early in the morning.

Brie Avocado Bacon Benedict!
Jack D.

It was a rainy Monday morning, so we decided to visit Le Caravane, thinking maybe it wouldn't be so crowded. My partner had gone here a couple times before but I was a newbie. She had mentioned it was a nice place to do work, and the food menu was promising. So we arrive and... the place is full. Luckily we managed to vulture up a half of a table in the back. Not how I prefer to do things, but we lucked out. We check out the menu and alas, it's all in french. Which I understand, but this causes a dilemma for me as the still-learning-french person in the crew. So I just went with the item that I could actually read and understand, the Brie avocado Bacon Benedict. Seemed safe enough. We grab our coffee (solid, by the way) and take our seats. I attempt to connect to their wifi and... no luck. I had the correct password but for some reason this happens with spotty wifi setups. Oh well, guess I'll have to send that attachment when I get home. Maybe that was a sign that I should just get off my laptop. I put it away and the food arrives. Luckily for me, the Benedict was delicious. It came with a salad and a baked potato kinda thing (which I wasn't a fan of but it did the trick). Somewhat inconvenient, but I probably would come back to Le Caravane if I came super early so I could secure a seat and hopefully a wifi connection. The Benedict was a plus, the coffee was good, and I look forward to trying the other items.

Nice coffee shop right next to Université de Montréal, the other day, I ordered a cappuccino and a madeleine, and they were both excellent. The coffee had a nice balance between the milk based sweetness and the tartness and roast of the coffee. The madeleine was buttery and tasty. The location is always packed, however, they have great wifi, really comfortable lighting, comfy chairs, and mural plugs for the laptops. This is a very great representation of a republic of laptopistan, where people work away on the computers while sipping coffee. I would highly recommend this place for a quick bite next to the University, some coffee and dessert date, or just to work on your papers. Great place.

La luxure et le paresseux
Shiyue X.

Went there twice for brunch. The prices are fair. I got two eggs benedict with a salad+fruit and mashed potatoes. The first time, the potatoes were a bit bland. The salad was good and my eggs were a little overcooked. The second time, everything was good! They give good portions! I don't know if they read our reviews and fixed it or if was luck, but everything tasted a lot better than the first time. However, the place is quite cramped. When people passed between tables, they had to turn sideways and they'd still rub against the tables. There were also flies flying around both times and it was quite annoying to have to shoo them away constantly. The proximity of the tables didn't create any sense of privacy. Overall, it serves good food for fair prices, but the way the café was set up didn't appeal to me. The flies really bothered me. If I didn't have to shoo them the whole time I was eating, I would probably have enjoyed myself more.

Le Cubano - it was ok
Yvette G.

Hip little coffee shop that has a nice outdoor terrace. Many students were there to study. They make good coffee and I also tried their sandwich, Le Cubano, which was just ok. It had very little chicken. Their prices are fair though.

Cappuccino
Hannah G.

Le Caravane is a cool place that offers great work grind/study vibes, top notch coffee drinks, and a variety of salads, baked goods, and sandwiches. It was very cozy in there and nice to be among others who were cramming to get some work done. I did not order any food, but the cappuccino I had was top notch. It was very busy and hard to find seating. Also, it was VERY hot in there. I had to leave to get some fresh air a few times. I recommend Le Caravane for studying, but I would not recommend for a brunch occasion, as it is pretty quiet in there. If it were closer by to where I live I am sure I would visit this cafe more often.

White Chocolate Brownie Cake
Aron G.

Let me start by saying that I do not drink coffee. If I were you, my next question would be, "why is this person reviewing a café?" and I wouldn't blame you! Le Caravane Café is a really nice place located on Lacombe on the corner of Gatineau, right around the corner from Cote Des Neiges metro. Though I don't drink coffee, I love any place that is open until 11 PM and serves food and excellent desserts. I don't know if the term exists, but this place is basically the quadrifecta for me: open late, check; serves dessert, check; vegetarian food options, check; serves milkshakes!!?? OK, where do I sign? Please take my money! Add to that the fact that the staff is always friendly and welcoming, and i think they're starting to recognize me even though I've only been there a few times. This kind of personal touch goes a long way with me. Now to the important bits, here are my recommendations for things not to be missed if you visit: The salted caramel and white chocolate chunk cookie is a classic crowd pleaser here, and is well worth trying. The caramel saltiness is a perfect complement to the sweetness of the cookie and the white chocolate chunks. Your taste buds will thank you, trust me. The White Chocolate Brownie Cake! The White Chocolate Brownie Cake!! The White Chocolate Brownie Cake!!! Oh My God!!!!! Words cannot describe the decadence of this cake. When I first saw it, I was drawn hypnotically to the words "brownie" and "white chocolate" but I ordered it with some trepidation because it looked like a cheesecake, and I don't like cheesecake. I could not have been more wrong - what appeared to be cheese filling was actually a white chocolate mousse, permeated with brownie bits! Topped with a mini brownie, and all of this on a base of brownie, I think I died and went to heaven, then I came back so I could do it all again! Try a sandwich! So far I've tried the grilled vegetables and the tuna and avocado, and they were delicious! I can't wait to get there earlier enough someday to be able to get an Eggs Benedict, that'll be my next review. Have a smoothie! There's a choice of around 8 different fruits, but don't be afraid to mix and match. My favourite is Banana, Mango, and Pineapple. I tried Banana, Mango, and Peach, but it was a little too sweet (a part of me just died for saying that, but it's true). Check out the bathroom (not in a weird way!), they've converted a bathtub into a planter with a few different trees, I got a real kick out of that! Le Caravane Café! I can't wait to go back! See you there, maybe ;)

Caravane Café!

Warm, charming and inviting Le Caravane Café gives you a buzz, in a good kinda way, not just from caffeine but from the energy that this place emanates! Open from 7am to 11pm during the week and 9am to 11pm on weekends, this café has soul and a beat that never seems to stop! Drowning in a sea of pen & paper, notebooks, pads, mobile devices, you'll see students studying, heads down with headphones, some others are chatting away and others are furiously working on group projects. This said, not to worry, you're almost always assured to find a spot to sit as there seems to be a decent amount of turnover. Surrounded by vintage elements such as tape reel typewriters, tungsten light fixtures, beautiful woodwork, I can't help but feel a bit nostalgic but then snap right back when noticing the modern power outlets essential to fuel our highly coveted electronics. Needless to stay I stopped by for a yummy cup of joe and could not resist to the callings of the decadent chocolate chip cookie that was gazing at me as I was being served by a very charming and friendly barista. I am told that the breakfast, sandwiches and soups are all very tasty not to mention very reasonably priced too! Congrats Karim and Valérie for opening this little haven for UofM patrons! I'm intrigued by how you've helped Côte-des-Neiges blossom and will return to try out the ratatouille and perhaps a classic Jambon & Emmental cheese melt!

Solid espressos. Good service. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating in a quaint neighborhood…read more Big fan. Will definitely come again. Get the tiramisu if you like desserts.

Café Olimpico landed on my radar via my brother. When he visited Montreal a few years back, he…read morevisited here and had good things to say. During my own research, I also learned this was a popular spot known for their high quality Italian pastries. Since we were in Mile End and looking for some coffee and carbs, we thought it would be a good place to check out, so off we went. The café sits on a corner among several other commercial businesses; the entrance catches the eye with a hunter green awning that dons the Olympic torch and rings, as well as some outdoor seating. The inside very much gives off Italian café vibes - it's a medium-sized open area with tables scattered throughout. The production counter sits to the left where orders are placed, and televisions with different sports are projected across the perimeter. In addition to this location in Mile End, they have three other locations. We definitely wanted to get some coffee, but I didn't want to leave without browsing their bakes so I was scanning what they had. They have a good variety of coffee beverages, as well as several pastries. I ultimately decided to get a cappuccino, and we split three bakes: a pistachio cornetto, a ricotta bomboloni, and an amaretto cookie. The bakes were good. The cornetto was filled with pistachio cream which is kinda played out due to the Dubai chocolate craze - but the cornetto was nice and airy with a good filling ratio. The bombolini was also good as was the cookie - really high-quality bakes all around. Service was good, and overall I really enjoyed my experience at Café Olimpico. The coffee and pastries were good, and the vibes are on. I wouldn't hesitate to return the next time I'm in Montreal.
