Chez Mère Grand Café et Épicerie

Chez Mère Grand is the kind of coffee shop you stumble into once and immediately vow to return. The space itself is very cozy and offers a nice escape from the busy bustling streets outside. The baristas are genuinely knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. And the pastries? Made fresh in house daily and literally so so good. We were especially fond of the croissants and lavender & apricot scones, which struck a perfect balance of delicate flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Literally we loved this Cafe so much that we ended up visiting every single day we were in Montreal. Overall, this place is a true gem that we highly, highly recommend.

Beautiful little cafe in a convenient location near hotels and Old Port. Baristas are skilled and professional—Jacob and Justine provided great service and made me a delicious coffee. Beans are locally roasted, wide selection of teas. Almond and oat barista quality milks available—unfortunately no vegan or gluten free options available currently. Pastries, sandwiches are made fresh in house. In house syrups as well. Selection of local jams, spices, oils, etc. for purchases—good gifts for tourists. Small terrace outside and plenty of seating inside.

Nestled into a cozy corner in old Montreal, this split level cafe caters to tourists and locals alike with kindness, care to detail, and with grace. Food is fresh and the coffee beans can also be purchased by the bag. If you order an iced cafe latte, you will be pleased to see what patience and care they take to create this refreshing and energy boosting beverage. It’s like alcohol mixology and they even use a shaker to chill the espresso, creating a smooth frothy “crema”. All I can say is go. It’s clean. It’s affordable. Cool layout and atmosphere. Air conditioned. Kind bilingual service. Worth your time and energy to go.

The outside entrance of this cafe looks pretty. Inside is a bit odd with the covered Albert Einstein poster. I just tried the butter croissant, but it was not my thing. Sandwiches are made fresh though. Server spoke English. Credit card/Apple pay accepted

Colin, the proprietor dubs it, “the little village café in the big city.” I agree. It’s just around the corner and the service is quick and friendly. They serve the perfect cortado to go. All shots are double, so no need to specify. Not only did they let Muki in, Colin even gave her three cute little treats (which Muki would only eat once we got home).

stopped by with my family while on vacation and this was my favorite spot by far! the owners and baristas were so so kind and wonderful! the food and coffee was absolutely delicious. i would 100% come back if i ever find myself in montreal again. wishing this place the absolute best.

One of the best coffee shops in Montreal! The design is stunning, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the food is absolutely delicious. The coffee is top-notch, and the service is fantastic. I had an amazing experience and will definitely be coming back again and again!

Love the aesthetic! Had a cold brew and it was delicious! They also have a wide selection of pastries and deserts which looked phenomenal. Staff were very friendly. Has a private patio and indoor seating.
