Welcome to The Monty General Store, nestled in the heart of Montmorency. This delightful café transcends the typical coffee shop experience, offering a unique blend of traditional comforts and contemporary culinary creativity. With a menu featuring a diverse array of breakfast and lunch options, The Monty General Store is not just a place to grab a coffee; it's a local gem where the community comes together.

The café boasts an inviting atmosphere, perfect for a casual meeting with friends or a serene moment of solitude. The warmth of the friendly staff instantly puts you at ease, making you feel like a welcomed guest instead of just a customer. With huge windows letting in natural light, the space is bright and airy, decorated with tidbits of memorabilia that tell the story of Montmorency’s rich history.

When it comes to the menu, the options are nothing short of mouth-watering. Start your day with their famous Egg & Bacon Turkish Rolls, harmoniously blending savory flavors wrapped in warm bread, or indulge in the delectable Pub Parma Focaccia. If you’re in the mood for something lighter, the Sweet Chilli Chicken Wrap or the vegetarian-friendly Falafel & Tabbouli Wrap are both excellent choices. Don't forget to explore their selection of filling Bureks—available in cheese, spinach, or meat variations—that are perfect for a quick snack. And if you fancy something more substantial, the Lebanese Pides offer a hearty take on a classic dish.

The dessert selection is equally enticing, featuring an array of slices (with gluten-free options!) and decadent gluten-free cakes, from rich cheesecakes to luscious chocolate creations. Each bite promises blissful satisfaction, making it hard to choose just one! Pair your treat with a handcrafted coffee, expertly made by the skilled barista Robbie. Options range from a classic Flat White to creative specials like the Sticky Leaf Wet Chai or the wholesome Turmeric Latte.

Fantastic place! Robbie makes great coffees and there's some delicious snacks, plus the convenience of some general groceries if you need a quick purchase.

We had takeaway chai latte and hot chocolate ordered at the coffee window. The service from Jess and Rob was friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this little place. I would check the inside of the store out next time when we have more time.

I work at the school a few days a week just opposite and stop in to see Will and H frequently. They have always been genuinely warm and welcoming and have outstanding customer service. The food is amazing with homemade pies, sausage rolls, different kinds of wraps and toasted focaccias available. Everything is delicious and I love seeing Wills excitement when he brings out something new he’s been working on. They will have more loyalty for life!

I have no words. Best meat pie I’ve had in my life. A 20 year old recipe. On top of the pie, everything else in the shop is made in-house with love to perfection. Also got a milanese wrap, muffin and sausage role which were all sublime. Can’t believe my tastebuds. On top of that, Friendliest service ever too, shout out to the 2 blokes. what a win for the community! Take all my money!!
