Review summary

What guests say about Amea Café

Amea Café is often described as a spacious, beautiful, and pleasant place to work, study, or chat, with a cozy and varied atmosphere. The food, desserts, and coffee generally receive good comments, especially the brunch and certain pastries. However, several people mention wait times, inconsistent service, and sometimes noise or laptop rules that can be bothersome. It is a good choice if you are looking for a lively café with a nice atmosphere, but less ideal if you want quick and quiet service.

Very good matcha latte and nice interior, but it definitely feels very hectic and busy. There was a bit of a line and a bit of a wait during a weekday lunch

Had to wait 5 mins to order a matcha even though there was no line and the staff was just talking and laughing while avoiding eye contact. Then the iced matcha itself had chunks of matcha powder. If im paying 10$ for matcha at least blend it well. The staff, service, and food at the food section is great though. The drinks staff gotta lock in. This is my first ever review on anything bc it was just that bad.

The dessert and ambiance is the best. But the food during lunch is really not that good. But then again, the place itself makes up for the food. Have a coffee and a croissant stuffed with strawberries jam and you'll be hooked :)

Eh, it's OK. Pricey, the pictures hype it to more than it feels once there. Still nice. I'd go back to give it another shot.

This has got to be the best cafe Montreal has to offer. I came here on my first day in the city and have come back every single day since. The food is truly incredible! Also, the staff are very friendly and can speak both English and French. My favourite item on the menu was the shakshuka but the avocado gravlax toast was a close second. I would recommend this cafe to anyone visiting Montreal.

The quality and the presentation of the food is absolutely stunning. Many other desserts and plates are instagram worthy of pictures. The day that I went the restaurant or cafe was busy. I just wish they would have provided more of a service environment in the sense of serving clients at their tables. Again, the food was great.Excellent value for the quantity of food as well

We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed both the quality and presentation of the food, as well as the value and overall experience. We also truly appreciate your comments regarding the service experience. We're structured as a grab and go so we do totally understand it's a different service experience than a sit down restaurant. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again soon :)

Amazing vibes for brunch with friends or a productive work/study session. +1 point cause there's a plenty of space so you likely won't need to wait to find a table. It gets a bit noisy during the peak time but I still enjoyed the lively ambiance and the 'healthy yet delicious' menu. Service was a bit sluggish (30min+ wait), but the complimentary cannoli was a classy touch that made up for the delay. Overall, a solid spot worth returning to.

Good food and a great vibe. The only downside is the coffee. If you order from the brunch menu, be aware that they serve the coffee immediately after you order, but the food arrives much later, which means your coffee gets cold before you can enjoy it with your meal.

Love the cozy decor inside, the hanging plants and ceiling lights really add to the experience. Lots of tables and seats to chill, hang out or do work. I ordered an iced matcha latte and it was nice and refreshing, not too sweet. Service was busy but very efficient. I like the restaurant pagers they use to notify you when your order is ready.

Beautiful study spot with amazing food to get me through finals. It’s a bit pricey, but so is everything nowadays. The atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous and all the pastries looked incredible! I came on a Sunday just after opening and stayed all day until closing at 3. The place was packed the whole time! I had the shakshouka. The crispy chickpeas and pomegranate seeds on top really put this over the top. So so delicious and very filling.
