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.

Wow! This bathroom is a delight! Not only can you get yourself a delightfully authentic Italian coffee, but you can also admire your visage in a Rubik's cube mirror while you relieve yourself in a large basin sink. The 100 year Italian soap is an incredible feature, as well as the robotic garbage can. A Montreal must-see bathroom, indeed!

I got a very strange tasting, grilled cheese & my partner who is granted an espresso snob got a shot that was pulled extremely fast. We mentioned it to the barista who is friendly at first, but this seemed to be an annoyance. Overall not terrible but I wouldn't go back.

This was the sweetest, brightest little café! We came back two days in a row, & probably would have come back every day if we were in Montréal longer. The guy behind the counter was very welcoming (especially as an English speaker in a French-speaking city) & the staff efficient. My husband & I both got the marocchino to drink both days, & got pistachio & cherry pastries - cornettos & doughnut. Everything we got was incredible! We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in Montréal!

I stopped by Bar Caffettiera on Stanley after wandering around downtown Montreal, & I have to say, their cappuccino was perfetto! It took me right back to my trip to Italy-the rich, velvety texture of the foam & the strong, bold espresso underneath were just like the ones I enjoyed in Rome. The cozy ambiance of the café added to the experience, making it feel like a little European escape in the heart of the city. If you're a fan of authentic Italian coffee, this place is definitely worth a visit!

Milk texture was bit rough & coffee had bit of aftertaste at first visit but next day was okey so probably depending on a barista.
