Très bons breuvages et meilleurs biscuits au monde! Belle déco & ambiance décontractée. Par contre, il manqué souvent de places pour s’asseoir… Wifi gratuit!

Petit café sur l’avenue Mont Royal proche du métro, il ya une dizaine de places assises. Le café latte au lait d’amande est bon. L’ambiance est sympa, un endroit sans prétention comme je les aime!

Very good food and coffee with a cozy seating area. Sometimes suffers from hipster service and french language snobbery, but mostly awesome.

One of my top 10 favourite cafés in Montréal! espresso and latté are amazing given the fresh light-to-medium roast they use. The sandwiches are original and delicious! The brunch is also a must try!!! Recommend this place 100% Not a very cozy place but ambiance is completely worth it !!

Chouette endroit pas loin de la station Mont-Royal. Le café est très bon et le latte a un vrai goût de café latte sans être noyé dans le lait. Il y a des tables pour s’asseoir et travailler, mais l’espace étant petit, vous n’aurez peut-être pas la chance de pouvoir en profiter. Il y a le WiFi et une petite bibliothèque sympa(avec Harry Potter!). N’habitant pas loin, j’y passé assez souvent et cet endroit me manquera beaucoup quand je partirai!

Chouette petit endroit pour boire un café dans une ambiance un peu douillette. C’est typiquement le genre de café où l’on peut se poser avec un bouquin(il y a d’ailleurs à disposition plusieurs livres et magasines) ou un peu de travail en retard car il y fait bon et calme. Sans oublier que le café est très bon et il y a plusieurs types de laits différents ce que j’apprécie beaucoup étant végétarienne.

Un an et demi plus tard, rien que ça, j’écris enfin sur le Café Névé. Un an et demi, voilà ce qui me sépare de mon dernier passage par«mon“real lors d’un printemps déjà très chaud. C’est au Café Névé que j’ai trouvé fraîcheur avec leur iced rooibos avant de reprendre la route direction le Mont-Royal. Le staff est à la hauteur des produits qu’on y trouve, au top! Depuis Bruxelles ma belle, je pense souvent à ma ville de coeur. Lors de mon prochain voyage, bientôt je l’espère, un passage par ce café sera un must.

Wow!!! This place had some killer coffee! I think I sucked mine down in 3 drinks and still wanted more! It’s a small quaint place with friendly baristas. It was a bit of a walk from where I was staying but well worth it!!! If you’re into thick creamy lattes and great flavor then This is the place for you!

À mon avis le meilleur latté de Montréal. Pas beaucoup d’espace sur place et souvent plein dans les périodes de pointe, mais pour les amateurs de café, c’est un must!

TWOWORDS: HOMEMADECHAI. So good. I ordered mine as I usually do: dirty + soy milk. Came out so freakin’ perfect. Flocon is the perfect place to take a rest while you’re touring Rue Mont-Royal. The chai is a must.

Brilliant coffee. This used to be my home away from home every Sunday. The guys who worked there on Sundays were phenomenal. And now without further ado, the coffee: it was heaven. Silky but not weak. If I were to compare it to a note in a piano keyboard, it’d be a mi bemol. What amazed me more, every Sunday, was the consistency in taste. Every cup was made to perfection through a choreographed dance of flawless man-machine interactions; culminating in the perfect cup of coffee for my Sundays regardless of the temperature outside. I highly recommend their cappuccinos and(my favorite) Corrado.

a true hidden gem on the artery that is l’avenue mont-royal located right next to the cupcake shop near st-hubert street. as a kid growing up in montreal, heck, in quebec as a whole, this tiny café is a dream come true. the pop culture references to the early 90s just bring back that cozy warm feeling of years past. how awesome is it to go back in times and remember the days of the vhs and mixtapes while enjoying a coffee all the while, listening to some groovy beat they feel like playing on that day? the place may feel hipster-ish, it is very inviting with a diverse clientele. only 2 community tables make up the place therefore having a seat is hard but you can always sit at the window counter. there’s 1 seat there and i’ve actually never saw anyone sit there or you can always sit at the bench park on your way in, no table though. otherwise, like most, its takeout. coffee is good, real good. flavorful, acidic, tart, bitter, you name it. want some soy or almond milk? you get that too albeit at $ 1 surcharge but its ok. like that BB song, give them a chance ;p

Rain, shine or snow, this place is a hidden treasure on Mont-Royal street. Whether you are on the go or are looking for a pit stop to satisfy your urge for an espresso shot, a flavorful macchiato, simple cortado or a rich latté I strongly recommend you to make it a point to drop in. All brews include a double shot of expresso and usually you’ll have a good choice of beans between special roasts from Anchored Coffee(Darthmouth, NS), Cut Coffee(Toronto, ON) or Pig Iron(Mississauga, ON). The viennoiseries come from its headquarters at Café Nevé; worth mentioning are the freshly baked the ham and cheese scones which hit the spot for a quick breakfast or afternoon snack. Service from the baristas is impeccable, genuinely friendly and fast! It really shows when you love your craft and take something simple as roasted beans and transform it a delicious cup of joy! The only drawback is the lack of space, with around 12 – 16 seats, depending on the time of the day or day of the week, it could get crowded quick. My recommendation is either to order your favorite cup to go or sneak in on early Saturday/Sunday morning for some«me-time» to catch up on emails and news. When asked why people keep on coming back, the coffee barista tell me it’s because of the experience and the ambiance. I guess he’s right!

This hipster workstation-style café blends industrial chic with punk rock and tattoo culture. With a Ramones soundtrack and scroll script lettering on the chalkboards and counter signs, you’re sure to feel at home here as an inked-sleeve wearing espresso connoisseur. Piercings? Yep. Thick-rimmed spectacles? Oh yes. Also, intimate convos left and right. Great place for an afternoon perk, break from work, slam it down and go kind of coffee moment.

What a lovely little café. Overshadowed by big sibling café Nevé, this delightful little space is spartan enough and serves some phenomenal coffee. Today they were serving Anchored, Cut, or Pig Iron beans. I went with a cut cortado and to date this has been the best cortado that I’ve ever had. Thankfully I showed up immediately after the patisseries arrived so I got to enjoy a still warm croissant to the Beach Boys, which the barista was subtlely humming along to all thea relaxing while. Easily the best café in the plateau/mile end for relaxing little coffee and newspaper reading on a Sunday morning.

After three or four visits, Flocon has joined my top tier of coffee spots alongside Tunnel, Couteau, and Myriade I+II(Pikolo is still uncontested in first place). As other reviewers allude to, this is a third wave shop: the coffee is bright/astringent/sour/bitter(the choice of adjective seems to betray one’s overall feelings on the third wave). If you like beards, tattoos, cardigans and skinny jeans, you will swoon for the pleasant and professional staff. A little bit of Mile End on the Plateau’s main drag. The seating is limited to two large tables with ample extension cords for laptops. On a weekday, one rarely feels self-conscious about occupying a seat to do work — a lot of their business is carry-out and the place is rarely full(weekends are busier). But be considerate and don’t cross that crucial 2 – 2.5 hour line without ordering more stuff…

Tenu par les mêmes proprio que le café Névé, la qualité de leur produits est donc identique: De merveilleux cafés et thés(chauds ou froids) et des biscuits à mourir. C’est petit, on se trouve chanceux lorsqu’il y a une table de disponible pour se prélasser avec sa tasse, mais sinon c’est le parfait pick-up coffee shop pour quand on a besoin d’un bon café, vite!

Nice, weird space inside with bright accents of color. Friendly service and delicious cookies. The iced café au lait was a bit bitter tasting, but still better than other cafes(looking at you Second Cup), especially the nearby Starbucks. It can be a little cramped inside and the barista misunderstood us and made 2 drinks when I asked for 2% milk.

Note: This is a more sour blend of coffee like what is served at Neve and Myriad. If you like that type of coffe you will like this. If you prefer a more nutty type of coffee(think Vielle Europe, Café Italia, Café Olympico) then you will not be impressed. Expensive. Delicious cookies($ 3 and face sized– like maybe 500+ calories). Nice staff. Hipster young people on laptops. Limited seating. No lunch fare.

Very good coffee here on Mont-Royal. Folks are really nice and take pride in the product. Miles better than nearby pretenders. Very small(cramped) with communal tables(and power, so bring a portable powerstrip with your laptop to make friends). Rating Scale: 1 Star: Avoid the town in which this place is located just to be safe. 2 Star: With so many great places to choose from, why risk this one? 3 Star: I’ll try it again or consume here in a pinch. 4 Star: I go here regularly if financially and/or calorically feasible. 5 Star: I look forward to taking my wife or friends here.

Yummie. Self and boyfriend enjoyed Cappuccino Caffè Macchiato — really good coffee and nice presentation. Also on offer were the same or similar delicious chocolate chip cookies also on offer in Café Neve. Same owners? Worth a visit — like the industrial interior. Its a small and quaint coffee stop.

Amazing lattes. The baristas are chill and friendly, and the whole place feels like a narrow hollowed-out ship with the wood elements and pseudo-nautical theme. I especially like the small drawings that adorn the register and walls, including one which poses the question, «Why do cats purr?» with an accompanying doodle of a purring cat seen to have bees on the inside. Because obviously.

I adore Flocon. It is teeny tiny and as soon as you walk in, you cannot help but swoon over the smell of the best espresso on the whole island. Their espresso is fab and their lattes are positively gorgeous. If you can score a table, you’re lucky, but the neighbourhood is so much fun that I prefer walking around with my drink in my paw, soaking up Mont Royal. While I’ve never tried the baked goodies, they look amazing and tempt me every single time, be strong JJ, be strong…

Je me demande parfois s’il y a quelque chose de plus difficile à trouver sur la rue Mont-Royal qu’un bon café… On te le sert étiré de beaucoup trop d’eau, ou avec une mauvaise mouture, le plus souvent préparé avec des grains de qualité très moyenne, ou trop torréfiés(le plus souvent, en fait, c’est tout ça à la fois)… Aussi, ça a été un ravissement que de découvrir(et vraiment, il faut le découvrir au sens propre du terme, l’endroit étant si petit et discrètement enclavé entre d’autres commerces qu’il est difficile de l’apercevoir si on né le cherche pas) ce sympathique café ou le produit est à l’honneur d’une façon presque maniaque. D’abord, on y trouve des mélanges d’une très grande qualité qui sont presque impossibles à dénicher ailleurs à Montréal, et qui offrent des saveurs très distinctes de celles offertes par les torréfacteurs montréalais ou italiens(essayez le Red Line espresso, pour voir…) Ensuite, le suivi des produits est maniaque. On y offrait auparavant le Hair Bender, de Stump, qui a été longtemps un des mes cafés préférés et dont la notoriété n’est plus à faire. Celui-ci ayant décliné en terme de qualité durant la dernière année(je puis en témoigner), les propriétaires n’ont pas hésité à chercher ailleurs une perle rare que j’ai découverte hier avec ravissement(et dont le nom m’échappe). Évidemment, on sait aussi, au Flocon, vous préparer un expresso parfaitement équilibré, selon les règles de l’art. Finalement, si vous voulez accompagner votre buzz de caféïné d’une buzz de sucre, leurs biscuits au chocolat sont aussi bons et cochons qu’ils en ont l’air(vous verrez, ce n’est pas peu dire…)

This small(small!) coffee shop is owned by the same people as Névé — and the coffee is just as awesome. The espresso is good, and their milk-base coffees(lattes, cappuccinos, etc) are some of the best in town, hands-down. There’s a few small tables inside, but not much else. It’s find if you and maybe one other want to sit and read/have a chat, but not much else. They also have the same big chocolate chip cookies as Névé, which are my favourite in all of Montréal. I’m not sure what else they have in the way of food, but I don’t think there’s much in the way of a full meal.

J’ai vu mes premiers flocons de neige en fin de semaine, en plus de goûter aux délicieux cafés de Flocon. Le p’tit frère de Café Névé, Flocon Espresso est extrêmement bien situé sur la rue Mont-Royal, tout près de plusieurs de mes commerces préférés. Il est tellement bien situé en fait, qu’il vaudrait la peine d’y passer pour se commander un café à savourer en jasant avec ses amis pour faire passer le temps lorsqu’on attend dans l’une des nombreuses files pour le brunch. Le café comme tel est un des meilleurs de la ville. Leur lattés ont un goût de pain d’épice et il est si joli on dirait qu’il s’est mis une robe juste pour nous. Je sens que j’aurai possiblement besoin de me munir d’une passé mensuelle pour le métro parce que je vais devoir retourner à Flocon assez régulièrement et j’habite un peu loin de là. Sinon, les cafés de Flocon risquent de hanter mes rêves. Les pâtisseries et les géants cookies sont aussi à s’en lécher les babines juste à les regarder. J’ai partagé un biscuit avec mon chum et après trois bouchées, j’avais tout le sucré que je pouvais prendre. Il a finit le reste — j’ai vraiment aucune idée comment les gars font pour manger tant!
