I've been to the NDG location of Melk and loved it but since that neighbourhood is out of my way I was very happy when a second Melk opened up downtown. In this part of Montreal Starbucks and Second Cups abound so an alternative is always welcome. It's just south of Ste Catherine and the space is pretty small but its the same high quality product as their NDG location.
They have a small selection of baked goods but they are one of those places that goes for quality over quantity. My chocolate chip cookie was moist and fresh. It was as good as any home-made product. I also enjoyed my iced latte which wasn't bitter at all and was quite refreshing.
They don't have wi-fi which is really the only complaint I have. I was here to do some work so internet would have been nice. Apart from that though this is a an excellent option for coffee if you're in the downtown core
