CaféItalianPastriesBoutique-CounterBrunchResto-Bar
Un café qui se tient debout. CAFFETTIERA (une cafetière Moka en italien), situé dans le Mille carré doré de Montréal, est un bar italien inspiré des années 90. Le ‘‘ bar ’’, pour les italiens, est l’endroit où l’on va durant sa journée, pour prendre une pause. Notre espresso est torréfié en Italie et infusé avec des machines à piston Vittorio Arduini ainsi qu’avec les classiques Bialettis. A stand-up coffee place. Caffettiera (moka coffee pot in italian) is a 90’s inspired Italian bar located in Montreal’s Golden Square Mile. For Italians, the “bar” is where one goes to take a break from the day. Our espresso is roasted in Italy and brewed from shiny Vittorio Arduini Lever machines as well as classic Bialettis.

Review Summary

Bar Caffettiera is a compact downtown Italian cafe where the crowd comes for authentic Italian coffee, pastries, and sandwiches and a vibrant, slightly chaotic vibe. Reviews repeatedly praise the espresso, cappuccino, and macchiato for balance and intensity, the pistachio croissant and bombolone, and the granita al caffe, with many calling it the best coffee in town or a very Italian experience. The atmosphere is lively and convivial, with friendly staff and a decor that evokes a mini Italy, sometimes accompanied by music that can be loud and seating that is limited or crowded. The place doubles as a bar with cocktails and keeps a no laptop policy, encouraging conversation. Pricing is generally described as reasonable for downtown, and guests appreciate the small, authentic menu of Italian sandwiches and pastries, including vegan options in some reviews. While seating and acoustics can be challenging at peak times, and a few pastries or coffees have fallen short for some, overall Bar Caffettiera is regarded as a standout coffee spot with strong atmosphere and consistent quality that makes visitors want to return.

The place is great in the summer with the outdoor terrace - BUT. The rest of the year it's limited to their 5-6 2-person tables indoors & it gets very crammed… & they BLAST music while a sign tells you'yes, we know our music is loud. 5 stars in the summer, 3 the rest of the year.

Silly establishment that won't permit you to drink coffee the way you prefer it.

Best cafe in town.
I'm in love with the caffè nocciola.

I migliori baristi italiani sono qui 😍 I'm the biggest fan
This is the best thing about this caffetteria - love them all!! 💘

Coming back for more panino di mortadella e pistacchio 🩷💚 Es brutal.
El de rapini también… una locura.

Next time I'll ask you for a dozen da portare fino a Barcellona. Aunque es obvio, me los como en el avión 😅✈?

Big hug guys, grazie mille for the greatest time in Montreal 🇨🇦✨

One of my fav spots! Def recommend their Granita latte!

As a tourist who was looking for a really good coffee..... I came here twice today! It was the best coffee I think I've ever had. It was a perfect latte, not burning hot & delicious!!!! Highly recommend.

Not sure why they serve iced coffee by grind it with ice instead of just putting ice on the coffee or having it iced! It ruins the flavor & taste

Funky Italian cafe. Perfectly snarky, tongue in cheek humor in the vibe. The most in incredible pistachio croissant I've ever eaten. I will dream about that pastry for the rest of my life. Espresso is excellent with the perfect balance of flavor & crème
