Visitors frequently describe the experience as being transported directly to Italy, noting the skilled staff, delicious pastries like the pistachio croissant, and savory offerings such as focaccia and mortadella sandwiches. While the venue is often busy and can be quite loud with music, most guests appreciate the no-nonsense approach to classic coffee culture and the lively, welcoming energy of the space. Although some reviewers find the seating limited or the volume intense, the majority recommend it as a premier destination for those seeking a genuine, uncompromising coffee experience.

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.

Great vibe, quality of food, & coffee are excellent. LOVE the pistachio bombolone! My go-to breakfast stop whenever I'm in Montreal!

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
