Residents of Montreal, you are so spoiled to have this spot in your fair city. Really. I want to wrap the whole place up and bring it to the US (preferably my city). If I could I would!
I *love* this place. I first came across it last year during a trip to Montreal since it was close to the hotel I was staying at during that vacation. I went there 3 days out of 5 that trip because it really was *that* good. This recent trip to Montreal, I was not staying as close to this location but I ended up walking there anyway just to eat there for breakfast most mornings/afternoons. Yes, it's that good.
Why is it good? First off, the food is incredible. It's fresh, bursting with taste with tons of vegetarian options and incredibly cheap. Here in NYC, meals like the ones served here would cost double. Not only that but they have a 4 page coffee menu in addition to their staggering variety of tasty food options and their coffee is freaking amazing! Lots of crazy flavors and varieties of coffee and/or chocolate beverages. The wait staff has been consistently cool every time I have been there and they seem to have perfected that art of knowing when to ask if you need anything and when to let you sit and savor your food and coffee while talking for long periods of time.
I am already missing this place and I just flew back today. I love you Cafe Imagination. I will be back. -

Cool little cafe. The guy working was a little nonplussed, but that may just be a Montreal thing.
Clean cozy little spot with free wi-fi. -

Pretty good latte and just average service. It seems every place in Montreal has this service problem though.
The decoration is cozy, with comfortable chairs and some retro posters. I cant's say much more about this place. I went there once for a quick coffee stop and that was it. If the service was better, it would certainly be a gem.Listed in: Montreal

Terrible service...as in no checking on the table after serving the food and at 8 am having to ask for coffee refills after sitting with an empty mug for 10 minutes just shouldn't be..but then again, the coffee was bitter and lukewarm...there's much better all over the place; keep walking to find it

I ate breakfast here on a beautiful Sunday morning during a family vacation in Montreal and absolutely enjoyed it. I decided to try something I had never heard of before--a brie cheese omelette with green apples. C'est delicieux! (Mind you, I'm a Spanish major with 7 years of study under my belt so I don't know nearly enough French to get by even in Quebec...Thank goodness everything is in both English and French!) Most of the omelettes and egg dishes, if not all of them, come with a choice of white or whole grain toast, breakfast potatoes, fruit, and coffee. The portions are reasonably sized and the fresh-squeezed orange juice is great as well. The cafe also offers lunch and dinner, as well as many other interesting breakfast options including assorted multigrain sandwiches (in the menu I saw marshmallow, chocolate, and banana!), waffles, crepes, etc.
A must if you go to Montreal! -

Great little breakfast spot near the hotels I stayed at for my race. Small but diverse menu, and a great wait staff make this a great choice to start off your day!

Nothing special but one of the few reasonably priced breakfast/lunch places in the McGill Ghetto/Downtown area which is generally a black hole for decent restaurants. McGill students make up the bulk of the clientele. You wouldn't go out of your way to eat there but there are worse options - like the overpriced and disgusting Chez Cora up the street on Parc. The service can be erratic, especially when crowded (I once waited an hour for a meal and didn't even get a refill of coffee).
