Café M

Fantastic service! Kenyan roast for the cortado was delicious. The music was amazingly relaxing. I wish I had brought my book. Free Wi-​Fi. And again the service is amazing, so kind and attentive.

The Barista girl was super nice but she doesn’t know how to make coffee. All the coffee we ordered were bitter and the muffin was as hard as a rock.

I absolutely love this café! The barista and owner of the café is the nicest man I have ever met. He is super friendly and is willing to help me improve my French. Their baked goods are really good, especially their matcha baked goods. I tried their matcha muffin with white chocolate chips. Their cappuccino is also very good! The café is great to meet up with a friend and to study. It isn’t that spacious so it would not be recommended to study with a group here. This is an absolute must try!

Had to give this place a 5 star. Not only is the service seriously ¹⁰⁄₁₀ but the food and drinks are bombbbb for a café, and the atmosphere is super cozy! ALSO, I have a serious pet peeve with studying in dirty environments, and even though this café is always bustling with customers, the place is always clean and the counters are never greasy!
Most of all though, you know the café’s good when the owner seems to really care about the customers. He’s not that good at english but he’s one of the most enthusiastic and genial café owners i’ve met! After staying nearly 30 mins after closing time, I finally realized that no one was around and that he was calmly waiting at the register just cleaning the same old corner for the past 30 minutes waiting I guess… for me to leave. He didn’t even mention it, and was so sweet when I apologized for my finals week obliviousness.
PS: please take the green matcha cakes they’re so good!
Ugh love this place

I was recently in Montréal for the first time staying Airbnb style like a 2min walk from Café M. All I can say is the food an atmosphere was the best. The guy behind the counter was the SWEETEST and the food is made from scratch, not premade like the crap most cafes in the States do. My boyfriend got the Breakfast Burger and I got a potato and cream dish that was to die for. If your in the Boul St-​Laurent area look down the side streets and you will find little gems like these!

Cute little café with delicious pastries made in house! Chai also made in house and very tasty! Excellent service.

C’est pas mal du tout comme endroit! Je crois que je vais y passer la journée. Il fait chaud. Peut-​être un peu trop. J’ai pas dormi la nuit dernière, alors je suis sensible. Faudrait que je me coupe les cheveux. Le serveur est super nice! Le café est pas mal. La musique est bonne. C’est petit, mais pas trop. On peut y venir avec quelques amis. J’aime le côté hippie fancy.

Déçu sur plusieurs points dans ce café …
Tout d’abord le service en nous servant nos 2 cafés à 10 minutes d’intervalles ce qui n’est pas idéale lorsque l’on est 2. Mon café est donc froid lorsque le plat ainsi que le 2ème café sont arrivés.
Pour le 2ème café j’ai du allé leur demander quand est ce qu’on allait l’avoir pour qu’ils se bougent et se rendent compte qu’ils n’avaient pas encore rajouté de l’eau pour finir l’infusion.
Personne n’était en train d’être servis, les 2 serveurs étaient juste en train de parler entre eux au lieu de faire leur boulot …
Idem merci au serveur français de nous passer du rap français avec des superbes paroles pourries un dimanche midi alors que tu viens chercher une atmosphère posée et tranquille pour prendre ton brunch café … Je né viens pas pour qu’une pollution sonore accompagne mon repas !
Au niveau de la nourriture les 2 bagels burgers étaient fades … Vraiment sans goûts alors que la recette avait un réel potentiel et nous donnait envie …
On avait pris un muffin au thé macha et bleuet (aucun gout non plus) et un brioche à la cannelle qui était bonne elle
Le café était bon.
En clair c’est la première et dernière fois pour moi dans ce café …

french coffee shop on that part of des pins serving verve coffee from california *cue in that OC song*
the café looks tiny from the outside but there’s decent seating once inside. very very friendly owner that is simply happy to serve you coffee.
the indie coffee passport finally made me go in as i usually shoot by for the ice cream shop nearby. anyway, one of the beverage choices was some chemex which made me wonder wtf it is. turns out, its simply pour over/​filtered coffee in those chemex container. chemex is just a brand. making it sound fancy but its still pour over coffee.
the verve coffee i was served was very lovely but subtle in flavor. you could barely decipher the chocolate note in it which made me wondered if the flavor would be totally lost once milk is introduced. serving size, i had roughly 4 cups worth of coffee. mind you, it wasn’t filled to the brim but half fill, the way a latte would be if you would go for an espresso based beverage for example.
there’s a bench outside during summer if you want to sit outside, which i did with the whole chemex experience making passerby wonder about the place and this guy drinking coffee from a chemistry measuring container like some sort of mad scientist.
i’m on the fence on the verve coffee but its a coffee shop worth trying out

J’adore cette nouvelle tendance que les Français ont de venir ouvrir des cafés à Montréal. On s’éloigne enfin des baristas hipster du Mile End à qui il est difficile d’adresser la parole parce que leur latte art commande toute leur attention. *Fin du coup de gueule.*
Café M a été ouvert il y a 7 mois par un ancien restaurateur, Walter, qui né tarit ni d’explications ni d’anecdotes dans son service. J’y suis allée un jeudi matin très tranquille et nous avons donc eu l’occasion de faire connaissance. Il est souriant et très sociable et compte, sans surprise, de nombreux habitués parmi sa clientèle. Sur sa recommandation, j’ai tenté l’expérience du chemex — une infusion lente de café filtre, qui prend quelques minutes à préparer, mais permet de développer toutes les saveurs du café et résulte en un goût très parfumé, doux et sans l’amertume habituelle du grain. Très intéressant!
L’espace est un peu restreint, mais il y a quelques tables et du bon wifi, donc il est possible d’y travailler hors des périodes d’achalandage. La déco est un peu «vibe californien,» avec des images de Westfalia encadrées au mur et une petite planche de surf dans la vitrine.
N’oubliez pas de goûter à leur spécialité: les muffins maison au matcha, fraises en compote et pépites de chocolat blanc.

Cute, hipster café with organic food options and yummy drinks. I had an iced chai which was delicious and not sweetened. Their scones are very fresh, with great ingredients — I had a cranberry, walnut.

Great little spot with healthy menu options and good coffee. The bagel burger is a spectacular creation featuring a variety of sautéed vegetables (zucchini, squash), kale, and your choice of bacon or ham. Excellent value here.
Not particularly English friendly, so it is good to know what you want ahead of time and be clear with the staff. Otherwise, I’d recommend Code Black up Saint Laurent.

Bah…
J’ai fait un petit tour à ce café. Rien d’exceptionnel à signaler: le latté goûte le brûlé et l’endroit est minuscule et peu éclairé.
Dommage…

We stopped by yesterday finally after months of walking past it. The place was nice and cozy yet full for a holiday. The owner was so adorable and nice we ordered two lattes one was almond. While we had no expectations the lattes were too hot that it probable burnt the crema and they both tasted like watered down coffee.
It was too bad because we were excited to taste verve a roaster out of Cali.

Beautiful chill hangout sport amazing almond milk matcha latte and really nice lounging work environment

I found Café M to have a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Perfect for students studying or to meet up with a friend. The presentation of the drinks was also very nice served on a small wooden platter. Staff very friendly. Definitely recommend as a place to check out :)

Petit café local sympa ouvert depuis fin janvier 2015, situé sur Des Pins entre St-​Laurent & St-​Dominique. Le patron, un français, Walter, vous accueillera avec un sourire pour prendre votre commande au comptoir. Il propose du café de qualité (expresso/​latté/​chemex/​…) des torréfacteurs «Barista» de Montréal & «Verve» de Santa Cruz en Californie. Il a des viennoiseries/​biscuits/​muffins fait maison, ainsi que des soupes/​tartiflettes. Les prix sont corrects dans la norme et le service est très sympa, personnalisé et aussi très social. La devanture extérieure grise est jolie et les gros pots en stainless devant font classes. La déco intérieure est simpliste mais cool avec des cadres Westfalia. Bien sûr, y’a du wifi gratuit et des prises de courant pour bosser. Un petit café indépendant sympa pour venir socialiser, travailler ou encore prendre son expresso quotidien sur la go. ⁵⁄₅ visité en février 2015.

I first came to this place after seeing a picture my friend posted on Instagram of what looked like epic coffee. The day my boyfriend and I planned to go, he came back from his run in the morning saying he had stopped by with a friend and was blown away. This made me even more excited to check it out.
We went around 3pm on a Saturday and the place was pretty full. Despite this, we were immediately greeted by the owner, and he personally took our orders. We just showed him the picture, apparently it was the chemesc option. He also made sure to ask if I wanted my milk warmed up or not. I was blown away by both the quality and presentation of the coffee. There was enough coffee in our big chemesc to have about 3 teacups each– a really great value. I also had a green tea muffin and my boyfriend had a hot chocolate which we enjoyed.
I returned on Monday afternoon in order to do some work. The place was pretty quiet, a few other students working. I ordered the matcha latte. To be honest, I didn’t like it that much. Since I was there so long, I decided to order a chai latte which was delicious and made up for the mediocre matcha latte. The owner was so sweet and kept asking me how my work was going, what sort of student I was, and he even brought me a free orange cranberry muffin. I will definitely be returning here often to do work, or to just have a delicious treat.
The service, quality, and atmosphere cannot be matched!
