About Melk
Melk is a café group in Montreal, started in 2013, with four shops. It roasts only organic coffee beans and packs them in compostable bags, keeping both the cup and the packaging in mind.
It suits coffee lovers who want organic beans and less waste, and anyone looking for a neighbourhood café to work, read or meet a friend. Take a bag of beans home for your weekend brewing, or bring one as a gift for a coffee-loving colleague. A warm drink at Melk is an easy pause on a cold winter walk. Choosing it supports a local roaster with a clear focus.
