If your walking through NDG and find yourself crazing code and a snack Melk is the place to be! Like many businesses on monk land the space is small and cozy but also has a great outdoor patio set up. Perfect for cold or hot weather. I was looking to get something seasonal and was happy to see a pumpkin scone. Needing a caffeine boost I wanted an iced latte, and with many non dairy options everyone can enjoy there menu. I also wanted to try a staple and on recommendation from the barista I ent with a scone. They have 3-4 flavours that rotate and the cranberry caught my eye. Nothing disappointed me and everything tasted like it had a lot of love thrown in. You will definitely see me here again !
Had an hour or two to kill so decided to check out MELK after seeing the good reviews. I dropped by around 5:30pm on a Friday and had no trouble grabbing a seat. Service is friendly and fast. They were playing Sean Paul but switched it to jazz later on. Interesting mix of music. The inside is small but there's about 4 tables, 8 stools and 2 patio tables outside. They have coffee, tea, cold brew, matcha latte and even a kids drink menu. They sell beans from Parallel 49th (Vancouver) and Detour Coffee Roasters (Burlington). Some of their baked goods is made in house but they carry doughnuts from Trou de Beigne. - House lemonade ($3.04 large) - not too sweet and nicely refreshing. Perfect after my salty lunch of pho. Pretty chill spot that's not too hipster. I don't drink coffee so can't help you there but I liked the vibes here. 3.5 stars.
Tiny, busy, crowded place with a cool hipster vibe. Currently hidden by an eyesore of construction scaffolding, netting and tarps. They're still open during the construction. Enter through the ramp in the middle of the building then turn right and go all the way to the end, it will be on your left. Ordered a latte with vanilla flavoring (made in house) and the brownie cookie. The latte was weak in caffeine strength and I didn't enjoy the taste. It should have tipped me off when I smelled burnt coffee beans when I walked in. Their redeeming quality is their home made brownie cookie. It was more cakey than chewy like a brownie: rich chocolate flavour with just enough sweetness and very light in texture. Wouldn't return for their weak coffee. I would definitely come back for their fresh baked cookies, home made marshmallows and to try their non coffee drinks.
This cafe is my new fav spot for recharging myself after a long day at work. When I got there, I noticed how cute the decor is and they put attention to details which is amazing. Ordered a vanilla latte and their delicious scones which looked so good from the display. Paid $8 for both of them which is reasonable. My latte was brought to me and I dipped my scone in the latte and it was such a relish. Their lanterns are so cute hanging on the wall and also the lady who made my latte was so sweet. I had a good time unwinding myself while having my scone and latte. They also have gluten free cookies as well as vegan food too. I'd surely return to this place in NDG as it's cosy and very cute. I always feel good to promote local products rather than branded as they really put so much efforts in making your day plus it's fresh.
Melk is a short 5min walk from Villa maria metro station. They've got nice windows with lots and lots of sunlight, excellent coffee and choice of non-dairy milk, a yummy selection of regular and glutenfree pastries, comfy setting and chill music and, to top it off, in summer they put a couple of tables outside to enjoy the season! They've got it all!
Construction must affect the business; I had to detour to get in this café. Surprisingly, the café is semi full. In the front, there is an outside terrace with three tables; but the view is destroyed because of the construction. Inside is adorable, with few tables and chairs, and two tables by the wall and the window with high chairs. Overall it is pretty spacious. They have limited snack menu, but there is good long list of drinks (coffees, tea, water, juices). The service is excellent, if you are eating in, your drink is delivered to your table. I had South African rooibos tea, with perfect size lemon cake. Both simply delicious. Free Wifi! I am sure without the construction, this place is lovelier.
Best coffee on Monkland, great service and ambience and good prices ! Their matcha latte is the best in Montreal (cold or hot) and their cold brew is solid, all their lattes are delicious and their scones savoury and sweet are to die for. This is my favourite coffee in Montreal :)
I like this place. It's small, and has good lattes and baked goods. Would come back. Nice place to meet a friend for a coffee. I always like to support independent coffee shops.
Come here early or you'll miss out on the delicious pastries. We came here closer to 10 and already very limited selection. We were allowed to bring out big 94lb dog inside the cafe though. Super dog friendly. This is an order-at-the-counter cafe. Bring a friend or you'll have to hunt for a seat with coffee in hand. read more

Nice quiet place with good coffee and amazing scones. Banana scone was the best I've ever had, and they have a good selection of non-dairy alternatives. I went with a regular latte and wasn't disappointed. read more

Location: Smack in the heart of Monkland village, right next to The Spice Station, The place: It's tiny but oh so cozy. Airy and bright, with a handful of seats, the vibe is super casual and comfortable. I can definitely see myself getting work done here. Judging by the volume of traffic that I saw going in and out of this place, I'm guessing it's a hit with the locals. And for good reason - it's the best coffee shop on Monkland and a fantastic change from the generic Starsucks and Second Cup. Service: Awesome. I went in to pick up some beans - these guys are one of the few coffee houses in Montreal that carry 49th Parallel (one of my favs). I don't think I was in there 5 minutes before someone came over to see me. The clerk was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the different types of roasts they had in stock. With her input, I selected my beans and asked her to grind them for me. Quick and simple. Coffee: Excellent Macchiato - on par with Olimpico. Price: Totally fair. The Macchiato was about $2 and the beans were $17 - slightly less than what they sell for at Myriade. read more

Great place in a neighborhood that can use some more coffee shops. Coffee here is made with great roasters like parallel and detour. As a true nyc coffee snob i approve of this place, prices are avg and staff very friendly. Finally i can get good coffee without heading downtown or to plateau. read more
Stopped by MELK one morning on the way to visit my friend in NDG thanks to a saved bookmark on my Yelp app! MELK is a tiny, easy to miss, hobbit-like hole in a wall on Monkland that greets it's patrons warmly and graciously for their caffeine needs. I confidently ordered a cappuccino and received mine by the barista quickly. I truly felt like home here and would have loved to sit in and enjoy my order but time was short in supply... until I was about to pay and the lovely young lady was pulling out fresh raspberry muffins out of their oven and the smell took over all logical explanation and I asked if I could be seated instead. The barista's cappuccino was really good and the muffin hit the spot. All in all, for a few mere bucks, my day started great thanks to MELK, Bar A Cafe! Will come again!!! read more

Really cute cafe! Great relaxed atmosphere perfect for studying, reading, or catching up with some friends!! I got a cortado and a banana chocolate scone. The scone was very good, not too sweet, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. My cortado was also pretty good. Creamy and light but a little too hot for me. Other than that, A+! Friendly service, good treats, good coffee and a relaxed environment. Awesome! read more

Nice little place. Grabbed a macha latte and took it outside as there was no room to sit inside - it only has a few tables and some stools along the side of the place. Tables weren't set up so I sat on the steps of the building and enjoyed my drink. Nice staff, fair prices. I'll go back! read more

I took the metro to the suburb of Monkland to try the coffee from Melk Bar. Hmmmm. Today's roast was Sitio Serra from Brasil. A nice afternoon coffee/toast. A definite 9/10 for the coffee and 10/10 for the ambiance of this funky little place. The biscotti was good too. read more

This is a very cute cafe! It was my first time here and the barista was so friendly! He explained all of the drinks and pastries that they had. They have a variety of teas which is great! I decided to get the dark chocolate cranberry scone and a large filter coffee. All of the pastries are homemade and make sure to come early to get your pick on the baked goodies! They sell out fast! You can buy bags of beans here, 49 parallel!!! The cafe is pretty tiny and there isn't that much seating, so it's better to stop by for a quick coffee! Also my favourite thing about this cafe is that you can get a refill of the filter coffee! At the cafe or as you leave! read more
Please put this at the top of your Monkland, heck all of NDG list. A quiet corner cafe with a sunny patio. A board that lists the daily brews so you can learn a little bit more each time about the dark deliciousness you mainline (or gracefully imbibe, if that's more your style.) Crazy good baked goods (I am not usually much for sweets, but I wanted to take the fresh Melk brownie cookies to bed with me.) Bags of 49th Parallel for sale. Beautiful, restful, work-friendly interior design. And most importantly: a dear and dedicated couple of owners, laughingly, passionately working their asses off to bring something acres better than Starbucks and Second Cup to the West. Wishing them huge success! read more

MELK is my favorite coffee place in NDG and definitely in my top 5 in all of Montreal. Situated in the heart of the district, on the very well knows Monkland street, MELK is the best place to grab a great espresso drink to go or even to sit down and get some work done. I love their roasts and their baked goods are always really yummy. I also like sitting by the window on a rainy day and people watch. read more

Perfectly crafted cappuccinos and lovely small desserts and baked goods. Friendly staff, cute atmosphere, lovely spot for a quick date. I would definitely come back here for their biscotti and cafes. read more

This cute little coffee shop is one of my favourites. A hidden gem in NDG, they have a solid beverage menu and nice selection of baked goods. It has a laid back vibe but can get pretty hectic at peak times since the space is pretty small. I've yet to try their matcha latte but I hear it's a big hit. I had a regular latte, which was light and creamy, just how I like 'em, along with a delicious date and tamarind scone. They carry Canadian coffee roasters Detour and 49th Parallel, a big plus in my book. read more
Can't believe I didn't try this place sooner! Had a cappuccino made with coconut milk and a cranberry dark chocolate scone, both were delicious! The cappucino was a little strong for my taste but the staff happily added some extra steamed milk when I mentioned it. My husband had a vanilla latte which he swore was the best latte he's ever had, along with a cheddar cheese scone which was also to die for. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and I would go back in a heartbeat for a coffee fix. I especially appreciated that the scones are all made fresh in house. read more
