One of the best coffees in Montreal, a bit hidden to add some mystery

Best coffee shop I’ve been to. It’s in a clothing store and small but incredible coffee and roastery. You can pick any of their beans to make a latte or pour over or drink you want. Victor was so nice in explaining the process to us and talking about their roastery. If you love coffee this is the place to go.
Would say best coffee ! Just loved it.

If you want to try real third wave coffee this is the place. The barista really knows his trade and makes great pour over ans espresso. They have a Weber Workshops EG-1 grinder for their espresso and prepared the best flat white I have tried in Montréal. A must for coffee lovers. On a side note my 4 y/o son had a hot chocolate with a nice Rosetta on it. My so. accidentally spilled it on the floor and staryed crying. The barista was kind and understanding of the situation, made a second one, free of charge, and made my son to feel better. Thank you!

We came at 9:10 am on Saturday. Google says it’s open. Door says open at 9 am. But no one inside. No notice about change in operating time. Not reliable opening hours apparently. Fairly disappointing

Easily the best coffee I've had. Huge selection of very interesting beans and the barista knows what he's doing

If you’re into specialty coffee this is your spot. Their V60 was one of the best coffee I’ve tried (The Colombian beans)

Top quality coffee! Definitely a place for a coffee snob
Not really anywhere to sit though (but we didn’t mind!)

Wow... In my life I've never seen a cafe using home equipment, let alone an eg1 (probably the best grinder in the world). The barista was super friendly and was very open to talking about coffee. There were also around 20 coffees to choose from. I couldn't choose one so I got two. In general it was just so fun to watch someone doing my dream work, I would've just like to do it myself actually. I feel pretty over caffeinated right now. If I could live there I would. The barista even explained most of his tools to my father who was confused about the probably 10 different things the barista would use to make my first espresso. In general, to anyone who likes the taste of coffee (especially third wave) I would recommend this cafe.

Came in earlier in the weekend and made an attempt to get a coffee. The barista was engaged in conversation with presumably a friend, talking about their new startup idea, which was a cake in a can.
Despite trying to say hello to the barista in an attempt to order coffee, I was unsuccessful in attracting his attention, making me believe that he would soon be finished his conversation, so we waited. After waiting 5 minutes, we decided that the benefits (a coffee) outweighed the negatives (waiting for an indefinite amount of time) so we left.
Perhaps my lack of aura was the issue, regardless, I think that even customers without aura should be allowed to have some coffee. Hoping this improves in the future.

This is the best place in Montréal for anything coffee-related.
They have very high-quality beans and you can literally order a drink with any of the beans they have in stock. So convenient.
A very special shout-out to Victor for friendly service, great music, and good vibes 🫡
