We had a fantastic experience here!! Love all the different options they had available for pourover, and they brewed a delicious cup of the wilder lasso gesha. Cool ambience, vibe, and friendly people. We would highly recommend - this and escape lab a cafe were our favorite coffees in MTL.

Really excellent cafe. Pour over is excellent and they have a really wide selection of coffees. The baristas are also really friendly knowledgeable. Great atmosphere too.

Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and warm smiles!
They were kind enough to keep a package for a friend of mine, thank you!

Café Éclair This little spot was right across from where I parked, near all the vintage shops I started exploring. It looked tiny—a hole in the wall—but packed with locals, so of course I had to try it. Inside, everyone seemed to know what they were doing, most of them gathered around a big table that looked like they were all doing their homework. I ended up at the only other table with a few strangers, and we all enjoyed our coffee together. This, to me, is what Montreal is all about. Top points for that Montreal vibe.

I did not know this was a serious coffee shop for real coffee drinkers. It was cold, I wanted something warm, and this cafe was across the street. I have learned words I did not know existed
But, I am pleasantly surprised! Very cool place. I’m a little too socially anxious for a wrap around bar in a cafe, but I have never seen the concept before, and I thought it was pretty interesting
Chai latte was nice and spicy how I like it, without being overpowering. I got mine with some simple syrup (I’m a fake coffee drinker sorry y’all) and it was tasty. One of the best I’ve had if I’m being honest (they’re pretty much all I order… I’ve had many). So I decided to try their matcha and it was actually good??! I say this with shock bc I usually find that matcha tastes like grass… this one was yummy though. I’m beginning to understand the matcha hype.
Staff are kind people too. It seems like they actually like their job, which says something about management. Customer service is stressful! They clearly knew a lot about coffee. I heard them using several very important serious sounding words. The coffee people nodded sagely. Be sure to arrive early if you want a pastry!

had two geisha pourovers. the owner was super nice, the coffee was great as well. definitely want to visit again!
Great coffee. But they need to ban laptops at the bar. There’s no space and it kills the atmosphere.

The best coffee in the city. They put quality over everything and take time for each cup. The staff will treat you with respect but not kiss your butt. Entitled people don’t come back so the atmosphere is really good.

If there exists a better coffee shop in Montreal, with smoother steamed milk and more dynamic and expertly roasted beans, then surely it is on some other plane of existence - accessible only through absolute divine transcendence. For a mere approximation of that, a sip of the sublime - there’s Café Éclair.

I mean delicious coffee, perfectly frothed milk and a friendly barista, that’s all one can ask when in need of a coffee-fix.
Atmosphere, people, Baristas are all amazing.
