I found this café via Unilocal… it is located in old montreal. and most breakfast café around the area is nice and european feel of café. BUT…i was kinda disappointed when i found this place. it is located within an office building. it is not really clean and has flies flying around in the café. i still decided to eat there was i was running out of time before my next stop. We ordered breakfast bagel and breakfast croissant… the staff asked salad or fruit. initially i thought it came with it. but at the end we realized they charged u for that. so just be aware… My breakfast bagel was surprisingly good! the bagel taste different bagels i got from the states… the texture is chewy and smaller than most of the bagel sold in the states… it went well with the egg, hams, lettuces… the fruits were so GOOD!!.it is mixture of melon, pineapple, and strawberry .it was probably the sweetest fruited i have ever tasted… it is so GOOD… I would definitely come back to this place again for its breakfast. but i gave a 4 star instead of a 5 star b/c of its environment… it didn’t provide the European feel that i was looking for

Quaint café. Great selection of freshly made coffee including a cold press. Bagel sandwich uses the proper Montréal bagel. BLT with hard boiled eggs is tasty. Staff is friendly.

Came here because I read some great reviews on it but to be honest, it was underwhelming. First off they did not have smoked salmon bagel which was what I was looking for but I ended up getting the BLT bagel which like I stated before was underwhelming. It is a nice little shop but don’t expect too much from it.

Cute little café that serves good coffee drinks and has yummy pastries. The café is minimalistically decorated with little wood tables and bright colored chairs. They offer free wifi and there is a bathroom in the café. The two guys working here were so friendly and sweet. They added to the pleasurable experience of my afternoon coffee. I chose a yummy decadent dark chocolate pastry to eat. There’s a nice variety of sweets to choose from. I believe you can also get sandwiches here as well. It’s a nice little place to stop and enjoy a cappuccino while in Old Montréal.

Had the caramel latte… best thing I’ve ever had. It was a frigid 5 degrees Fahrenheit and I needed to warm up. The place is cute and cozy and was a great vibe!

We dropped by this café after a long bus ride. The cafes environment was pleasant and the server was patient even when we had 8 people coming in at once. The food was not too bad but fresh at least. I definitely enjoyed it. I recommend getting the bagel BLT with egg or whatever added on.

Came here for a quick breakfast and coffee during a visit to Montréal not too long ago. It was a bit later on a weekday morning, probably around 11:00am or so. The Mon Café was pretty empty, and I was able to place my order within moments. I had the famous Montréal bagel, with a coffee as well. Pretty standard fare, although it would be nice to see the choices dressed up a bit. I was underwhelmed by the presentation and the value for what I was paying for. A small plate with just the bagel and a tiny cup of coffee. I’d go back, but I’m in no rush. The food was good. Service was fine. But I didn’t see much value.

It was a decent place to have breakfast in the neighbourhood. However, other than their warm chocolate croissant, everything was just okay. We got latte, croissant sandwiches(with bacon or ham, sliced boiled eggs, lettuce and tomato) and chocolate croissant for dessert. Coffee was bitter as well. The owner was really nice and friendly.

This place is really cute and my breakfast was amazing! I made up my own sandwich –an egg and cheese with avocado on a croissant and they made it perfectly. The almond milk latte was delicious too!

My boyfriend and I visited Montréal this week! We randomly stumbled upon this café! We ordered the TMC croissant with bacon and another with ham. AMAZING croissant I have ever tasted!!! The croissant was fresh and so were the ingredients. The TMC had hard boiled eggs, lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese and house mayonnaise. We actually ended up going back the next day! I ordered the TMC with bacon again. The second time, my boyfriend ordered the bagel breakfast. It was a sesame seed poppy bagel with bacon, Swiss cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. The bagel was also amazing. The atmosphere was very intimate and clean. The service was exceptional. The presentation was very on point for a breakfast Café. I would highly recommend this place!

I don’t hate this place, i just don’t need to come back. This is a café with café fare with tourist trap prices. Saturday brunch with a TMC croissant sandwhich that everyone has complimented. It’s a croissant sandwich any decent café in Mtl quality. So better than the chain coffee shops but by MTL standards we’ve got better. The cincher is the Panatone breakfast sandwhich which should say sample size $ 13 for half a tiny sandwhich size. Hmm… No. It was soggy, and tiny. Coffee and tea is seperate. So our total bill for two peopleata cafewas $ 28 and change. Totally not worth it. Thanks but only if you want a coffee or tea. *The photo I took of the Panatoast has crumbs on the plate cause I shared my croissant with him.

I would recommend the breakfast bagel! A cute little café with real coffee and freshly prepared sandwiches. Definitely would not have found this place if it wasn’t for Unilocal ‘cos it is not a tourist hot spot at all! Thanks guys! Go through the mall/complex and the entrance to the café is from the inside of the bigger building it’s housed in.

Cripes sake, here we go again with the«big 5» review. But lookit, this place is a GEM. Hah, that even sounds fresh like I am being sarcastic~promise I’m not. It really is a great escape for breakfast and brunch where you truly feel you are separated from the American tourist traps. We came here on some pretty dreary, rainy, cold start of summer days-making the 2 mile trek from the hotel on foot to take in the sights along the way(people watching — such a pleasure in Montréal) So, go here a lot and order everything on the menu. You will be glad you did!

Delicious(but TINY!) The reviews are great — I love my Unilocal community! This was a hidden gem of a spot — all the reviews lay true. Watch for the entrance to this spot — if you walk by you’ll be circling trying to figure it out. The entrance is literally across the street from an alley way! Don’t forget that part. We waited in line for a solid 20 minutes before ordering. There are only 10 tables in the joint, and you can only sit after getting a table number, you only get a table number after you order, and you only order after you’ve waited. Bizarre but strangely effective. I ordered the eggs Benedict with bacon on a croissant! Genius(I thought so) as it’s not on the menu but the owner was happy to oblige.(Yes I paid extra, no I didn’t mind) it was worth it. My fiancé also got the Eggs Benny with bacon on a classic English muffin and said it was good — but not as good as mine. We followed our breakfast with hot tea and a cappuccino and a chocolate croissant to go!(Order it with your breakfast or there will be none left!) Don’t go if you’re starving or in a hurry — we went there for 11AM and I could tell the people waiting in line behind us were not pleased with the wait — brunching in Montréal is not the same as Toronto or Europe. Lovely breakfast and I will definitely be back — the only thing missing was music — it was crazy silent and the space is so beautiful — it was strange not to have soft music playing in such a lovely space.

Décor 3⁄5 food 3⁄5 staff&service 5⁄5 Food was delicious and prices were great. The staff is super friendly and I would recommend anyone to go but word of advice — it’s a pretty small place so get there before 10am to get a spot on the weekend. I thought 12.95 $ was rather expensive however for eggs benedict considering it was only two eggs benedict and a small cup of fruit, for that price at any other breakfast spot you would get toast and some roasted potatoes on top of that. But with a small latte I felt satisfied.

A good place for brunch that offers good selection and delicious food. We ordered the eggs benedict with bacon and the eggs benedict with ham and a latte. The eggs benedicts were delicious and the fruit cup that comes with it was good. The prices are very reasonably priced. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only thing is when we arrived at noon, they had limited selection of food left. Also, I liked the food and the crossiant I had a lot, but I’ve had better. But for the price and food, I would come again for a quick brunch.

Quaint little place that offers a small selection of delicious brunch and lunch options. We jointly had the bacon Benedict, the ham Benedict, a dirty Chai latte, a chocolate crossiant and an orange juice… Everything is reasonably priced and the food is quite delicious and cooked from scratch. The Benedict was cooked perfectly with the egg really runny. The hollandaise sauce was one of the better ones I’ve had too. It comes with a side of fruit which is really really fresh. The chocolate crossiant was really good, but as flaky as expecting but the chocolate flavor with nuts added a nice flavor. Once again, which is becoming a Canadian norm, the service was really really nice and enjoyable.

This is truly a hidden gem. The Unilocal reviews were pretty convincing so we decided to give this spot a try. It’s a definite winner! It was recommended that we try the«Croissant TMC» which is essentially an open face breakfast BLT. It includes sliced hard boiled eggs, Swiss cheese, choice of bacon or ham and lettuce with tomato of course. We were blown away! The croissant was baked to perfection with a flaky buttery crust. We savored every bite. To top things off, we were offered complimentary coffee that was also delish(but don’t expect that when u get here) In summary, this place comes highly recommended. It’s a must try if you’re in Vieux Montréal.

Located in old Montréal this quaint little café is an excellent option for a quick breakfast pit stop. You’ll nearly certainly miss the entrance because you’ll think it’s the entrance to the shop right next door. But don’t be fooled(like us and the couple of other people that made the U-turn after they walked right past it), they share that entrance. The breakfast menu is limited on the weekend– just a few basics. They offer pastries, fresh fruit, eggs Benedict, a croissant TMC(which is essentially hard boiled egg, lettuce, tomato, mayo, cheese, & bacon) and the classic egg and cheese on choice of bread. My egg and cheese was good, the croissant was perfectly flaky. My friend’s TMC was delicious and her husband’s eggs benedict were the subject of my admiration and envy. I would definitely go for the Benedict next time… They looked perfectly poached! My friend ordered the«medium latte» which really looked like it could feed a family of 4! It was impressive and beautifully decorated with latte art. Despite their simple menu, they didn’t skimp at all on quality or presentation. The cozy and inviting feel of the café earns them bonus points as well.

J’ai trouvé le bagel BLT très rafraîchissant. Aussi les prix sont bons pour l’emplacement. Un endroit sympa. Bön acceuil. Je reviendrais ça c’est sûre. Je vous l’ère commande fortement si vous voulez manger a moins de 10 $!!!

L’endroit est minuscule, le personnel est sympathique et leurs cappuccinos sont absolument PARFAITS. Mais… Un café qui ferme à 16h, c’est beaucoup trop tôt! J’y suis allée pour écrire en après-midi en pensant que c’était ouvert tard et à 15h30, le commis passait le balais…
