Café Marmelade

Hello all! I’m so excited to be back in Montreal this week! I was able to visit a few different suburbs in the West Island with my friend J, including the beautiful Beaconsfield, St. Anne de Bellevue and Pointe-Claire. We were lucky to find Café Marmelade open, as everyone in Québec was closed and celebrating Saint Jean Baptiste Day today!

Café Marmelade is located right on Lakeshore at the end of Pointe-Claire’s ‘downtown’ area. We noticed how busy the café was. Each customer seemed to know the owner and I loved how friendly he was with everyone! Although tiny inside, the space was used wisely with a bar build along the wall. There were a few seats outside as well but it was raining pretty hard when we visited.

I drank a delicious latté and J had a cappuccino. The food looked really good too even though we weren’t hungry and we quickly found out that all of their sandwiches and subs were gluten-free and vegan friendly! The atmosphere was nice, family and child friendly but also a great spot for a ‘girls coffee catch up’! I wouldn’t suggest setting up camp for the day to study here, but it’s definitely a great spot to stop by and try if you’re a vegan, celiac or even if you just find yourself in Pointe-Claire!
