Stopped here for a quick coffee & treat. Very cute atmosphere, friendly staff, & yummy baked goods. The coffee was good, too. Not too much space inside, so getting it to go is probably a better option.

A delightful Italian espresso bar in downtown Montreal. Don't expect any syrups or matcha here. They adhere strictly to Italian espresso culture standards! Coffee is excellent!

I dream about having a place like Bar Caffettiera where I live. (one day...)
They perfectly capture the essence of an Italian coffee bar, & they even have some signage to ensure you understand that (which I totally loved seeing). No giant vats of coffee, no sitting for hours with a laptop nursing along a $4 purchase. Have your coffee, maybe a pastry & be on your way.
& the coffee is just sublime. A dimensionally-correct cappuccino is a thing of beauty, & Bar Caffettiera nails it every time.
& why not stop by in the afternoon for aperitivo? They are stocked with everything you need for a cocktail or a cold beer.
Five stars -- these are the kind of places that make where you live special, & all of Montreal should celebrate (& patronize) Bar Caffettiera.
