Kind of stumbled in here while visiting the city because it was late (9pm) and I was determined to find a casual dessert. I was delighted by the selection - there were some fancy cakes and other baked goods at the main food counter, plus a counter serving lots of gelato flavours which all looked excellent. I went for a slice of carrot cake and a Lune Rouge rooibos tea. Carrot cake was as good as it looked. The layers of carrot cake and cheesecake (or maybe just a really rich cream cheese frosting) were really nice and the caramel sauce on top was delicious. I like carrot cakes with lots of Stuff so I liked the raisins and nuts. Definitely big enough to share but also manageable for one if you're hungry, which I was. Good tea too, and nice to have three different options for rooibos. The staff was nice. The atmosphere is a little frenzied, more like a fast food place than a cafe, but it seems to be a big study spot nonetheless. Not every table is adjacent to an outlet, but there are some hidden ones along the floor. There are also some nice counter seats along the windows inside (most of which do not have outlet access) and a huge patio. read more

Milton B - Carrot Cake & Lune Rouge Rooibos - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I was lucky to find Milton B on my recent trip to Montreal. They are open 24 hours, so I could get breakfast earlier than at my hotel. And frankly, the food was much better and more reasonably priced than the hotel buffet. The waitstaff is friendly, efficient and helpful. I had breakfast there 3 days in a row. read more

Milton B - French toast and toast had me carb loading for my aikido seminar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Bad Food Bad Service Too expensive. The people dont know customer service. It was awful experience and nothing much to say read more

I was there yesterday for a meeting and I was very disappointed to see their notice all over the place which essentially says, "1.5 hour max sitting/drink; 2.5 hour max sitting per meal". I understand people sometimes go there and work too long while ordering just a coffee or so. But putting such notice almost beside each table is disrespectful to customers and sounds too desperate. I would rather appreciate if the owner focuses on improving their watery latte (is it even a latte)? The place is a nice spot to work but their coffee, latte or any hot beverage is just awful. And the owner and stuff keep coming and check if everyone ordered something. Update: I had to go there again today because I had to meet someone. I had to order something as per their rule and I got a filter coffee. The first thing I felt after my first sip is that how does this place still run business here? And second thought was it was so bad that the badness will kill your drowsiness rather than the caffeine. Also they charge 25cent for tap water now read more

Milton B - Cheese cake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Came to Montreal one night and didn't want to pay for an extra nights accommodation so decided to spent the night here. This place is lovely inside and out. I came around 1am and stayed until 8am spending time on my computer and dozing off. It was very quiet and two other people had the same idea as me and they slept as well. It was a very quiet and clean place. Theres outlets and wifi making this the optimal study spot. I had the London fog which was very standard. I can't comment too much on the food and coffee, or else i would be tempted to give this place a 5/5. Pros- 24 hours Amazing study space Free Wifi People sleep Clean Would i return? Definetly! read more

Milton B - Inside decor - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Wide variety of items on the menu--omelettes, waffles, hot & cold sandwiches, coffee, pizzas, wraps, and pastries. A lovely place to get some work done. There are plenty of outlets around and the free WiFi is fast. Their breakfast pizza is a great deal! 3 eggs on a personal-sized pizza with arugula on top. Plenty filling, I came super hungry and had a slice leftover. Cafe policy politely states that folks purchase a drink if they plan to stay less than hours, and those who purchase a meal are welcome to stay for an unlimited time. read more

The ice cream and bubble tea is very bad. Just got a scoop of pistachio (very fake flavor) and a stale tasting tea. The coffee shop is very nice to sit and do work in. read more

Good location to study and tables for groups .. latte 2.50 on Tuesdays.. staff was nice.. that's about all I have to say that's remotely positive unfortunately.. the almond croissant is worst then one I would get it IGA and the coffee is worst then a Keurig cup .. It's too bad they don't have BYOC (bring your own coffee) then I'd come back to study.. read more

Milton B - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

The staff here are SO SWEET !! I came here today because I have medical treatments nearby and thought this place was so cozy. They have carefully marked everything for COVID as well and have very reasonable time frames for customers (they ask you stay 2.5 hours or less with a meal, which given how limited seating is due to distancing this is more than reasonable). Will absolutely be coming back! read more

I was in total shock when I walked by what used to be a 24 hour Second Cup and saw that it was being replaced by Milton B, a 24 hour urban cafeteria. The Second Cup had been there ever since I first step foot on McGill campus way back when. It was a very popular study spot with the McGill crowd given its operating hours and proximity to the campus. Everybody came here when they were a student be it to study or fuel up for a long night of partying. Anyways, enough nostalgia and on to what I came here to do which is to review the business. Being an urban cafeteria you can expect food like sandwiches and salads. I have been twice now and on both times the sandwiches could have been a little better. The first time I came I had a bocconcini pesto sandwich which needed to be toasted longer because the cheese had only half melted. The second time around I had an apple brie grilled cheese sandwich which was better except they used raisin bread which I found a little odd. I also noticed that the first time I went the salad selection was a little lacklustre but on my return visit it had improved, which makes me think that they were still trying to work out the kinks of being a new business. The salads are pretty tasty for the most part. You can get salads that are substantial enough to be a whole meal or smaller ones to accompany a sandwich. They also have a variety of baked goods and sweets if you're looking to satisfy your sweet tooth. In general the ones that I have tried have been quite fresh and delicious. I enjoyed them and they did satisfy my craving for something sweet. When it comes to prices they are what you would expect to pay downtown. Depending on what you order you can easily get a filling lunch for somewhere between $10 and $15, which is what you can expect to pay in this area of Montreal. I do feel that you get your money's worth here. The portions are ample and the quality of the food is pretty good. While this isn't a place offering super cheap eats I can see it doing well with the McGill crowd. Given the fact that it is a 24 hour place and that they offer coffee and food it would make for a good study spot. Even if you are not student it is worth checking Milton B out because they do offer a better alternative to some of the other food court fare that exists downtown. read more

Milton B replaces the iconic second cup cafe at the du parc street. I have spend many a study/recreational hours at the previos second cup. So when Milton B opened finally after the long wait, I was one of the few first ones to check it out. The ambience of the plcae is refreshing, bright and beautifully furnished with light wood chic furniture. I would definitely be a regular here as well. They offer the normal tea/cafe options with a variety of eating options as well. read more

An flippin' adorable cafe in a very convenient location. It's a few minutes away from the McGill campus and it's open 24/7. I ordered a apple strudel and it tasted pretty stale and the crust was rock solid. I'm not gonna lie; I was somewhat disappointed. I don't usually complaint but I managed to get up my arse and tell let the staff that it was somewhat hard, not expecting anything in return. THE STAFF WAS HELLA FRIENDLY and told me I could get something for free which was dope. I proceeded to get a vegan Nutella pastry thingy. Let me tell ya, that shit was good and I would 10/10 recommend. Tip: don't get the apple strudel read more

This place is probably my favourite studying place in the McGill Ghetto and definitely my favourite on Parc. I didn't frequent the Second Cup very much, but I'd been there enough times to notice, in my opinion, the definite improvements. For one, I love the new lighting! The lighting had been one of the main reasons I disliked studying at the Second Cup in the past. The other reason had been the rather awkwardly placed tables. Milton B improved this greatly with their large tables; in fact, my favourite place to sit is the big table in the middle. As for what they serve, I have yet to try any food there since I tend to come after supper (I'm super glad they kept the open 24 hours feature). The drinks are nice, not too overpriced, and the teas come on the cutest bamboo board. Once the semester starts, I think I'll become more of a regular. But for now, there's more of the city to be seen! read more

This is one of the best places in Montreal. The service is absolutely fabulous and it's an amazing environment to study productively. The staff is incredible and very helpful. If you are preparing for an exam or having assignments, you can really do focused study here. read more

Finally a place where Wi-Fi works in this city, and finally a local coffee shop owner that apparently understands the importance of reliable Wi-Fi. Terrace has always been awesome, and still is. Great 24h location. read more

Milton B - July 2017. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Great service, wonderful pizza. Went in for a late night snack and was surprised that they had so much selection

I have been here a number of times and food is consistently good. Also a very good environment for studying. Every encounter I have ever had here with the staff has been positive until today. A man I assume must be the owner was extremely rude and condescending. He talked to my friend - with a tone and persistence that bordered on harassment - about whether or not she was buying food. While it is understandable that he wanted business in his cafe, there were far more polite and professional ways to address the situation. I have always been a big fan of Milton B and it has been one of my favorite study spaces until today. I have never encountered a man who treats his customers with such disrespect. read more

Oat milk cappuccino was so so. Rating only for the coffee. Did not try any food items.

After spending many nights here this past school year, here are my thoughts. I appreciate that it is 24 hours. The vegetarian grilled cheese is especially delicious and I usually don't like pesto. The vegetarian pizza is also good and I usually don't like olives. I am not a fan of the drinks, especially the coffee/espresso ones. Matcha latte is also a no for me. The teas are a good deal if you're saying for a long time-- $5 and you can get refills. I recommend the dragon pearl jasmine tea but tbh all jasmine teas are great. It can get quite packed at times but all in all a very convenient cafe. read more

This is my go-to study place because it's so near my apartment. The coffee is a bit expensive (3 dollars), but the food is pretty good. Highly recommend the chicken halal sandwich and the chicken wrap. The cake is decent but not amazing. The staff is very friendly. Best perk is open 24/7. Outlets for charging your laptop everywhere. read more

As basically the only 24 hour café in the area with outlets, I need it more than I love it, quite frankly. Service has always been quite nice, decor is clean, there's a good variety of seats (high, low, comfy), enough outlets, and WiFi is almost always good - it's just the prices that keep me from gushing. read more

I just got kicked out by the Manager of the Cafeteria! The reason is I didn't buy anything today, and I used their washroom. I told him I come here every single day this week, and buy a cup of Americano and some desserts. But he told me it is a rule that you have to buy something to sit here. What kind of rule is that? So I suggest if you have TimHortons or a Starbucks around, please don't come to this place ever! Maybe the manager should put a statement on every table that: No pay, no seat! As an international student, I thought Montreal has a friendly environment, and this place is just humiliating! read more

Clean, open 24hrs and free wifi BUT if you are planning to stay there for long, prepare to pay a fortune with their new policy (1.5 hrs MAX for drinks and 2.5hrs for meals), while prices are actually expensive ($2+ for a small bottle of water and $7+ for a cup of coffee which is far beyond student budget (considering you would need another cup / meal every 1.5 / 2.5 hrs!!). I wouldn't mind paying the exrta dollar for a lovely stay but the staff are slightly rude (first time coming with a friend and they had her through away her starbucks coffee and buy a cup of their coffee which she didnt like and threw away eventually! Their coffee is not the best especially for someone like me owning 2 nespresso machines and lately upgraded to nespresso vertou. A better substitute is second cup on (2020 Boulevard Robert-Bourassa #309) or second cup (1235 Phillips Square) both are located within walking distance, have free wifi and lovely outdoor setting + better coffee and prices + no one would keep looking at you to force you buy another cup of coffee - so unprofessional and disturbing eww.... read more

Milton B has has many selections for a cafe and most things are decent. It's also clean and convenient for those going to school nearby

It's a great study spot. I'm definitely here a lot during finals. I only keep coming back for the great study atmosphere and the free wifi definitely not for the food. They could really improve on the drinks and the food quality. I would study here with a tim hortons coffee if I could. However, I have to give a well deserved shoutout to the pizzas they serve, it's soo cheesy and delicious. Probably the best food they have but since its like 10$, I can't order it everyday and go broke, so unfortunately I often settle for cheaper options that don't satisfy my tastebuds as much:( read more

I have never felt so unwelcome in a cafe before. My friend and I were sitting on their terrace today studying, when the female owner/manager came over to ask if we had purchased drinks. I found that this was understandable, as people who are sitting on their patio of course should be paying customers. We showed her the drinks that we had purchase and she left. Next, she came over about 15 minutes later, and told my friend and I, as well as the people at the table next to us, that we were taking up too much space. Everyone on the patio had one small table to themselves, but she requested that 2 people share a small table. We explained that we needed the room to study, and she got mad at us and spoke to us in such a disrespectful and angry manner. I explained that had I known I would have been asked to move and have only half a table, I wouldn't have come in the first place. She continued getting angry and eventually walked away. Next, the male owner/manager came over and told us that we would be forced to move and share one small table, or else leave. I am so appalled at the way that we were spoken to, and how often we were disrupted by the awful management. Of course we were not able to properly study when every 15 minutes management was coming over and getting mad at us. You are MUCH better off going to chai lounge or Cafe st barths across the street, the service and drinks are infinitely better. read more

The cafe is a standard cafe with sandwiches, bagel, baguettes etc...however you'd see a lot of people working on their laptops etc. One time I was there, the music was so loud, it was really hard to be on work calls. The other thing I noticed is that the staff doesn't look very happy or enthusiastic. Hope the management understands how important it is for a happy team. lastly, one needs a key to use the washroom which I found strange read more

Awesome place to study, chill, or just hangout with friends. Always trying to improve their menu. Prices are fair and the terrace is perfect! read more

Worst service in Montreal. The guy making the coffee is very rude; I can't believe he hasn't been fired yet.

Best 24hr spot in the area. Awesome wifi. Great options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.

The owners are unbelievably rude. I was sitting with my friend and we each had one table to ourselves, and we (as well as others sitting near us) were asked multiple times if we could just share one table so that they could free up more tables. We were studying and obviously needed space. I pointed out that for everyone else in the cafe there was one table to a person, and they said 'but they're alone. you guys are together so you need to sit together.' After expressing that we needed room they continued asking us, not respecting what we had said. Another girl took out a travel mug with a starbucks logo on it and the owner said 'put that away, no starbucks in my cafe, you're giving them business and advertising.' The girl tried to explain that it was just a travel mug and that she had water in it and that she hadn't brought a starbucks drink into the cafe, and the owner was so rude and just forced her to put it away. Absolutely ridiculous. An extremely disrespectful way to treat paying customers. read more
