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.
