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 stands out as a compact downtown Italian cafe where authentic Italian coffees, pastries, and snacks are the main draw, with espresso, macchiatos, croissants and bomboloni praised for their quality and a Granita latte noted by many. The atmosphere is lively, warm, and stylish, mixing retro decor with a bustling, welcoming crowd, and the staff are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive. The experience can feel busy and loud at times, with music that may be loud for some, and seating can be tight, especially during peak hours; a no laptops policy is mentioned by some as part of the focus on enjoying the moment. Overall, it is regarded as a standout coffee destination downtown, offering an immersive Italian vibe that makes visitors want to return regularly, sometimes as a preferred morning or mid afternoon stop, with a terrace in good weather.

We got coffee which was good. The vibe with the music they were playing was great. The barista was trying to sing along which was entertaining clearly he was feeling the music.

Minimalist Italian-style cafe. Simple & delicious sandwiches. Italian coffee options were very good. Highly recommend the Marocchino if you want something a little sweet.

Exceptional coffee with brisk & friendly service. The ham & cheese panini was simple & tasty, & our pistachio donut was a new experience we really enjoyed. The decor is very cool & really expresses the italian theme, & there is a spacious patio outside of the intimate interior. Would recommend to anybody for a quick & tasty breakfast.

A gem in the city with some of the best tasting coffee. Coffee & pastries are top notch - the ham & cheese sandwich I had wasn't at the same level

It's really funny way that they call Americano non-Americano. Next time when I have time, I will sit down & drink espresso & water separately.
