La Buvanderie

Unbelievable place. Food is amazing, fresh and made with love. Coffee is also so good. Complete gem of a place.

One of our absolute favourite places in Montréal! Bruno is an amazing chef and host! Love that he makes food based on fresh ingredients he sources daily. The food is always divine!

The owner (Bruno) has been very disrespectful to me often making fun of my country of origin and ethnicity (Egypt) and showed zero respect of boundaries when I told him to stop (maybe because he lacks self respect). I have never seen any more cold, racist and unapologetic attitude than this. On top of that, it doesn’t seem that the regulars there have done any better since they were shamelessly laughing at this.

I've been cafe-hopping my whole life in Montreal and find this cafe so special. The owner is such a joy and makes you feel so welcomed! The food and coffee is great and the outdoor garden in the back is so cozy. I came here in the fall and there were fairy lights, and leaves all over. This cafe is the perfect place to get some work done, study at or just read a book at. The design is also so cool in that it is a cafe and laundromat!

Great food, the owner is very friendly and takes pride in the food he creates, uses imported cheeses, etc. Relaxed atmosphere. A great staple of the community.

A découvrir, comme je viens de le faire. La cuisine est excellente servie par un chef Italien beau et charmant…ce qui ne gâte rien, comme on le dit chez nous en France.

Hidden gem! Great coffee, excellent food! Food ingredients are fresh, so menu is based on what is available. I love that! Had the pesto pasta with gorgonzola and the porcini mushrooms pasta which came with some bread on the side to sop up the yummy leftover sauce. They were both delicious. Great place to hang out - visit the patio!

Super relaxed and nice atmosphere. Food was terrific and coffee was superb! Worth the wait for sure!

In my life of coffee hopping, this holds a very special place. The location has a pretty garden with wifi. You feel home. The food is simply out of the world. It wouldn’t be too much if I say that Bruno the owner is a grand chef! The meals are so delicious, generous and fresh. The true Italian taste is what you see, what you smell and what you will taste. The coffee, well I am hardcore coffee addict. But with no milk or sugar. While the black coffees are of great quality I have no idea of how the sugary ones are. But with the quality of food I have no doubt it should be first class. It’s sandwiched between the Parc Avenue and St Urbain. Walking distance from Mont Royal. I give 10/10 to this place. If you come to Montreal, make it a box to tick. You have no idea what you will miss otherwise.

This place is exactly what we needed in this spot. For years it was a sub-par spot, but no more. They've redecorated and made this place comfortable and homey, while still maintaining a classy Italian cafe ambience. The coffee is excellent, the people are friendly, and the food is delicious. Seriously. Eat, eat. You're too skinny. Have some more pasta.

Be sure to check out the amazing open space terrasse in the back.

Oh, and there are laundry machines that I assume are working.

Best kept secret in the city.best pasta I have had In a long time. Mind blown. The owner is the best. What a host.

Exceptional food. Exceptional service. Amazing atmosphere. They have made us feel incredibly welcome in the neighborhood.

What a fun spot to meet up with people, and the food (of the day) is very good Italian home cooked style

Don't look at reviews older than 6 months as there are new owners and it's a completely new experience.

Lovely couple, Bruno and Melanie, have put there heart and soul into the cafe. Great coffee, great food, great people and you can do some laundry!

Lovely backyard for summer time. Dogs very welcome.

Bel endroit pour travailler (terrasse à l'arrière) pendant qu'on lave nos vêtements. Super service et excellent café

La Buvanderie est un café de quartier excellent! Propriétaire chaleureux, bouffe de qualité, terrasse cosy et pet friendly!

Excellent espresso and very friendly service. The owners have renovated the place themselves and have an awesome atmosphere to show for it. Very relaxing outdoor area and an interesting mix with the laundromat. Didn't use the laundry service, but the coffee and company were top notch.

Great place to wash clothes and have a good coffe! 100÷ recommended
Washing machine 2'5$
Dryer 2$

Amazing place! Owners are super nice, it's small and cozy (with a nice terrace during the summer) and they serve a mean espresso. Highly recommanded

Super endroit, le staff est très accueillant et le café est délicieux. Le cadre est aussi génial

Newly renovated Italian inspired cafe. Very nice atmosphere and back terrace area. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

Friendly cafe, very laptop friendly and comfortable. Had an americano and it was served with a really nice biscotti, both were delicious. Will definitely come again.

FRENCH BELLOW//
First time me and a friend are insulted like this in a restaurant. Just because after 30 minuts we asked politely why was it so long to do a toast and a small sandwich. The waitress answered they had many people before (we were three tables on the terrasse two inside.one asked for fruits and granola, the other for a smoothie.so hard to cook indeed!) And the boss, after asking me where did i come from, said that they usually quick out grumpy frenchs. Really shoking passive-agressive behaviour i think (mostly when the staff IS French haha), and i'm not the kind to complain easily.

The only things you have to do with customers is to apologise, even when they might be wrong or jerks, or both. But this first and basic rule of work is apparently unknown in this place, typically Mile-End slash hipster slash cool.slash "We are not a restaurant". Ok i saw that thank's, however i paid 25$ then, so what are you?

To finish on good points, the smoothies are delicious and the place is cute, inside as outside, the terrasse is super quite and green, and they apparently organise concerts!

// Première fois que je me fais insulter avec aussi peu de subtilité, à dire que les français aigris sont généralement jetés dehors (je cite) alors que nous demandions tout simplement à ce qu'ils se dépéchent un peu après 30 minutes d'attente pour de simples tartines qui se font en 10 minutes max. On nous répond qu'il y avait du monde (nous étions quatre table à tout péter dans l'établissement). Absolument antipathique et passif-agressif, serveuse comme chef. Navrée, car l'endroit autrement pourrait être fabuleux et je ne suis pas du genre à chercher des poux. Et les smoothies sont délicieux (enfin des smoothies de qualité pas trop grumeleux!) mais la façon dont vous parlez aux gens est juste impossible. D'autant moins quand je débourse 25$, je viens pas juste pour une tasse de thé.
