After searching online for great coffee places in Montreal, Cafe Melbourne was one of the first places on the list. Being an Australian and having spent the best part of the previous four weeks in America, I was excited to have the opportunity to have a great coffee.
The barister didn't seem too interested in having our business when we arrived. It really felt like he was more interested in talking to others that were sitting in a bar area in the cafe. We ordered coffee and some jaffles from the food menu, which seemed reasonably priced.
When the coffees were ready we had to bring them to where we were sitting ourselves. Surely if you're being tipped then this service would at the very least be included?!
The coffee turned out to be okay but nothing too special. The atmosphere was a little awkward. There was no music or anything and a lot of swearing from the guys who run the place. The food was good though, did enjoy the mac n cheese jaffle. Probably the saving grace for this review.
Maybe we caught these guys on a bad day but wouldn't go out your way to come here.
