Honestly, one of the best cappuccinos that I had & all of my travel. It was very smooth. It's a really nice ambiance & the pricing is super fair. The staff are very cool & the patrons of this café are also very nice. Even though it was busy, people were not fighting for seats & they were willing to let the next person have them.

Definitely the best place to grab coffee in Montreal anytime I'm here. I will definitely stop again.

Montreal has hundreds of great coffee shops…Bar Caffettiera is a notch above. Stepping in to the space you are greeted in French & Italian. The menu is just like any of the ubiquitous Italian cafes…even offering to coretto your espresso. Perfect macchiatos served with a small glass of sparkling water. Delicious Italian sweet breads stuffed with Nutella or pistachio cream. Peroni or Prosecco, Baci or torrone.
Mille grazie e ciao bello
