If you find yourself wandering around Montreal, specifically at 700 René-Lévesque Blvd W, make sure to step into the delightful Central Station Café. This charming spot, nestled within the historic Central Station, is not only a haven for train travelers but also a beloved gathering place for locals seeking an exceptional coffee experience.

As you enter, the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, instantly inviting you to pause and unwind. This café specializes in comfort food that’s both satisfying and affordable, making it a top choice for breakfast or a quick bite any time of day. Customers rave about the BLT sandwich—a crispy delight that holds its own against any gourmet offering. And let’s not forget about their bagels, praised for their delectable taste and perfect texture, which keep patrons coming back for more.

Central Station Café’s menu features fresh and vibrant options, like the popular chicken poké bowl that one customer, Chloe Lee, enthusiastically recommends for its freshness and generous portion size. In an age where health-conscious foods dominate, this bowl strikes the perfect balance between flavor and nutrition. You can also sip on expertly crafted cappuccinos or unwind with a refreshing iced tea, just as Gabri Ella relished during her early morning visit.

What truly enhances the experience at Central Station Café, however, is the ambiance. It’s a cozy retreat where you can enjoy your meal while observing the hustle and bustle of travelers around you. Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee before boarding your train or lounging with a breakfast sandwich on a lazy Sunday morning, the café's warm and welcoming vibe makes it an ideal spot to recharge.

Real patrons echo this sentiment with glowing reviews about the friendly and efficient staff. Many note how the baristas go above and beyond to remember regular customers' orders, a personal touch that keeps people returning, like Jay Mehta, who cherishes his simple but fulfilling morning ritual of black coffee and a toasted bagel with jam. The café is not just a place to refuel; it’s a community hub where customer service shines through. Sean Chambers mentions how a great breakfast and cozy ambiance can set the tone for a wonderful day ahead, a testament to the café's role not only as a restaurant but as a cornerstone of the local experience.

In summary, Central Station Café is an unmissable stop for anyone in the Montreal area. Its combination of delicious food, remarkable service, and welcoming environment makes it a gem worth visiting, whether you’re just passing through or have lived here all your life. Don't miss out on the chance to taste the warmth and charm of Montreal—make Central Station Café your next dining destination!

Grabbed a chicken poké bowl to go. The service was fast and welcoming. The bowl was great and fresh with a very fair price. Would recommend it to every traveller before you get on a train!

The best place to eat in all of Montreal, not only is there food amazing, but cheap. I would recommend the BLT. It was so good I had to go back while on vacation!

If there is a reason I take my coffee/breakfast from this spot when I got bunch of spots next to my work place is that this place deserves the five stars for a lot of reasons, the great service, no line up, love their Bagel, Muffins etc… If you are about to travel or you’ve just arrived, I would recommend this cute coffee shop in the Central Train Station.

Love this place. Have come here frequently ever since I came for the first time a few months ago. I go for my standard order - black coffee and toasted bagel with jam. The gentleman at the counter in fact remembered the order after only a few times - that's great customer service. Love their coffee - perhaps the best one around. Bagel and jam are great. They're right next to the gates for Via and Exo trains, so very convenient location if you want to quickly grab something before getting on the train. Unfortunately they are open only till 1:30PM. I hope they stay open a little more in future. Love the interiors as well. Very thoughtful. The lady and the gentleman at the counter are very nice and friendly. Definitely recommended!!
