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 widely praised as an authentic Italian coffee spot in downtown Montreal, with espresso and cappuccino repeatedly described as outstanding and pastries like the pistachio croissant and nocciola coffee singled out as standouts. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, blending Italian vibes with a casual, no frills service that many reviewers say handles rushes well. The space is small and can get very crowded, and the outdoor terrace in summer is nice but seating indoors can feel cramped; music can be loud. Menu highlights include panini and mortadella pistacchio sandwiches, bombolone, granita latte, and a variety of Italian snacks, with many raving about the granita and the croissants. Several reviews note that the experience is best for coffee and socializing rather than working, and a few mention occasional inconsistencies in pastries or service. Overall Bar Caffettiera stands out as one of the top coffee spots in the city for authentic Italian flavor, vibrant vibe, and friendly staff, albeit with crowding and noise to consider.

Il caffè è buono, ma chiamarlo un latte è una bugia : dovrebbe essere in un bicchiere grande, in una tazza no ;)
C'est pas une expérience comme en Italie, le bar est beaucoup trop beau & neuf ! Mais je peux comprendre l'attraction du concept italien. L'ambiance est bonne & les personnes qui y travaillent aussi :)

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.

Delightfully unique coffee experience. The business is clear about what they do & do not offer & those who focus on the latter are simply missing out.

this cafe has an excellent atmosphere for socializing or reading over a cup of coffee. they do not serve'american style' coffee with multiple sizes or syrups; instead they serve traditional Italian style cappuccini & lattes as well as cocktails & some food. we had an iced Italian coffee, a vermouth spritz (don't miss it - the vermouth spritz was one of the best I've ever had), a pistachio doughnut, & a vegetarian panini. they have a nice variety of sandwiches & pastries, including some vegetarian options.

Immaculate vibes hit you as soon as you walk in. They offer premium coffee-no'dirty water,' just quality. The decor is beautiful & the outdoor terrace is a must-enjoy. Pay attention to the door rules; they're part of its unique charm. The staff is incredible, especially Luca, who always brightens my visit!

I had a stop over in Montreal & needed a coffee. I always like cafes either an aesthetically pleasing vibe & this had it. The baristas are great, friendly & make a damn good latte. I had an Italian pastry which was absolutely delicious. The decor inside was super nice. I took a star off because there wasn't enough seating but that's not their fault. It was just a popular spot.

I really like the ambiance . The service was fast & friendly. The Conetto was pretty good, but I didn't like was the coffee, my latte was a bit cold & the Americano was bitter.

Caffeteria est une adresse incontournable à Montréal pour les amateurs de café, avec une ambiance italienne authentique qui vous transporte dès le premier pas à l'intérieur. Leur expresso est tout simplement exceptionnel, probablement l'un des meilleurs de la ville. Intense, riche & parfaitement équilibré, il reflète un savoir-faire digne des meilleures cafétérias italiennes. Le lieu dégage un charme méditerranéen, avec une décoration sobre & élégante qui rappelle les cafés de Rome ou Milan. Que ce soit pour un café pris sur le pouce ou pour s'installer tranquillement avec un cornetto ou une pâtisserie maison, l'atmosphère est idéale. L'attention portée à chaque détail, de la musique au service, contribue à cette immersion dans une véritable expérience italienne. Le personnel est chaleureux & accueillant, ajoutant une touche supplémentaire à cette ambiance conviviale. Les prix sont tout à fait raisonnables pour la qualité exceptionnelle des produits & l'expérience proposée. Si vous cherchez un café digne des grandes traditions italiennes à Montréal, Caffeteria est un incontournable.

The atmosphere here is incredible, it's visually appealing & I love what they're trying to do. My only complaint, & I guess it's kind of a big one, my double shot of espresso in a latte was not good. The shot took around 15 seconds to pull, & was extremely sour. It happens, & because it was in a latte form, it was tolerable. But I wouldn't have been able to enjoy it as a straight shot. I'd give Bar Caffeettiera a try again though.

The coffee here is amazing! Had to go back two times because I wanted to try everything. Not an overly traditional little coffee shop, it has a fun retro vibe inside & they serve both coffee & cocktails. We tried the regular cafe latte, their version of iced coffee, & the nutella latte. All the drinks were amazing, but I highly recommend their iced latte, which is essentially in the form of a slushy. Highly recommend going in & having a coffee, it was my favorite coffee shop in Montreal during my visit.
