It can get busy and the lines form out the door, but the pastries and coffee are worth it. We ordered the chocolate and pistachio filled croissants and donuts. I would rate both chocolate and pistachio filled croissants a 9/10 and the donut versions of each a 7/10. I felt the croissants tasted better and had more filling. We ordered the Remix which is authentic freddo expresso, cafe crema soft serve and topped off with hot frothed milk and chocolate. This was a 10/10 and was every bit of amazing as it looks in the picture. Service was fast and friendly. One note, they don't have flavored coffees, so I couldn't order a caramel latte, for example. Overall, great coffee shop that we enjoyed every day during our stay.

Every location I went to was full but the line goes by quickly. This specific location is in old Montreal so if you're doing sightseeing it's a great spot to chill. The cafe crema is insane. The texture and flavor of this is something I've never had before. The coffee flavor is strong but not offensively strong. Even if you're not a fan of coffee I'd still suggest you try it. The affogato was lovely with the espresso and gelato mixing it creates that lovely icy texture on the outside. It is more pricey so I'd say the safe crema is the way to go.

Panic mode. Thankfully, this place saved the day with its warm and inviting ambiance. We grabbed coffees and croissants, and the owner was quick and efficient, getting us sorted in no time. Even at that ungodly hour, there were already two locals and a dog chatting with the patron--always a good sign of a neighborhood favorite. Can't complain at all. I'm in Vieux Montreal for a few more days and will definitely be back.

Melk is next to a parking lot entrance. The emplane very friendly and enjoy what they do. This is not Starbucks with one gallon size cups and 100 sugar Syrups. But they have great lattes, and Banian's mocha lattes which are packed with caffeine and not overly sweet. Just how I like them. I'm not a muffin man, but when on Montréal breakfast is "continental". I asked if they had anything with apple in it. The server suggested apple carrot muffin. OMG! It was perfect. It was more of an apple muffin with a few chunks of carrot, which is perfect for me.

Very cool little shop, nice ambiance, cool merch if you're looking for nice coffee themed gifts, and a friendly staff (especially since I don't speak French). I decided on the Dulce De Leche Latte for me and my wife and they were very good so good went back twice. One of the things that blew our mind was the Everything Bagel Scone it was delish and is a definite must try. Full of flavor, nice crunchy outside, cream cheese and bread in the middle was soft and perfect. They do have other selections of scones, croissants, and muffins as well but that Everything Bagel was boom. This shop is a definite must go to if in the area and I totally recommend it.

I dropped by recently to grab a bite and really enjoyed the roomy interior, cheerful colors and cozy decor. The food is neatly put on display - an array of sandwiches, pizzas, pastries and other light fare best suited for breakfast or lunch. A good option for all the office workers in the area, I think! I tried the mushroom soup (which was underseasoned), the smoked salmon sandwich, the lemon meringue tart, and the caprese sandwich. Although everything was good, the salmon sandwich was my personal favorite. It was generous and tasty, and stood out thanks to its squid ink (?) bread. A cute, clean space for casual lunch! P.S.
