Enjoyed a late breakfast with my wife. Very friendly staff, awesome pastries and breakfast sammys and artfully created coffee. The place has a nice vibe, like the employees actually like being there. Best breakfast I had in Montreal.

Stopped here one morning for a quick bite/coffee before heading out for a walk; it was right behind our hotel, in Old Montreal. The food and coffee were great, and the service was the best (the gentleman behind the counter could not have been nicer, even though we were having a hard time deciding and it was a busy morning)....

For lunch, reasonable and tasty sanwiches. Clean cafe, friendly staff and good variety. Muffins were good too. Close to the conference center for a quick lunch.

Incredibly close to Notre Dame basilica, yet passed by the hordes of tourists, this place has better coffee and prices that should put to shame the nearby Starbucks. Not an atmosphere that would attract trendy folks and not a Mac air to be seen during our visit, but the muffin was great and the latte excellent.

I had read about this place in advance and wrote it in my notebook. We were on a walking tour of the city on our first day in Montreal and our tour guide took us here to get some lunch and warm up from the sub-freezing weather. A very nice selection of goodies. I would go back.

Very friendly staff, great food. Meats were not pre-cooked. Everything was prepared at the moment. Reasonable portions and good prices.

Espace cafe has some of the best service in Montreal. Family owned, making for a fun time and an interesting dining experience. The food has a mediterranean feel with lots of great sandwiches. They even customize items if nothing on their set menu satisfies your needs. The coffee is great if you're into espresso based drinks; it's imported from Southern... More

We arrived in Montreal today and were a little overwhelmed with the French language and snow. We found our way to espace and were amazed at the great food, service and prices. We will make this a regular stop each day.
