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.

I always either get a latte or a cappuccino & I have to say, it's one of the best I've had in Montreal. The roast is perfect & it truly packs a punch. I prefer it to blonder - & thus more acidic, fruity & floral kinds of coffees. The atmosphere is also great & their playlist is amazing.

was very disappointed with my experience here. I'm not a big coffee person & unfortunately they did not serve any drinks without it. it seems they take their coffee pretty seriously so for any coffee fans this might be the right place to go to. the sandwich i got was pretty bad so needless to say i did not enjoy my meal. also i don't understand why but they had a sign on every table asking not to use laptops? for anyone like me that enjoys coffee places to work i wouldn't recommend. i have to say tho that the staff was very friendly & welcoming.

Came highly recommended from the owner of Canada's #1 restaurant while we were visiting Montreal. It quickly became our daily breakfast spot. Their coffee is amazing. Ham & cheese sandwich SO delicious. Great vibe. Amazing & super friendly & attentive service. We just came back from Rome where we had some amazing coffee. Cafetteria's is better 🤷🏻‍♀️. Especially the cappuccino.

My favourite coffee spot in Montreal. The place is not big & quite busy, therefore, you may need to wait to sit. Their coffee is the best in Montreal.

Délicieux & gourmand café à la noisette ! Service très chaleureux. La musique est un peu trop forte... 3-4 tables assises.

L'endroit est top! Super look, service très efficace & sympathique. Les pâtisseries étaient délicieuses & ils offrent des cafés qu'on ne retrouve pas ailleurs. Gros coup de coeur pour le caffe nocciola.

The drinks, sandwich & cornetto Nutella were delicious! I would go back. The seating inside is hard to get, but there is a patio out front with beautiful sun in the morning! I will be going back!

QUALITY Italian caffè near McGill producing some of the best coffee I've had in Montreal! First off the logo, name, & vibe of the place instantly transports you back to 1970s Sicily with a Moka pot in your hand. Secondly, the staff are super friendly & are masters in the art of super efficient service (lines move quickly). Lastly, the coffee & food offerings are both unique as well as high quality - not many other places that I've been to in Canada offer Granita, brioscia, & focaccia all under one roof. The granita latte is a must-try - it's reminiscent of a Tim's Iced Cap but with Sicilian sophistication & class. In terms of food, you really can't go wrong with any of the choices whether savory or sweet. I also like that they serve a glass of San Pellegrino with your espresso just like in Italy. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend you make a stop here for your daily coffee fix if you're in Montreal.

Their Double cappuccino latte & Granita iced latte were amazing 💯 staff is very friendly ☺️ However the space is very tight & I felt claustrophobic sitting so close to everyone around. 😔
