CaféItalianPastriesBoutique-CounterBrunchResto-Bar
Un café qui se tient debout. CAFFETTIERA (une cafetière Moka en italien), situé dans le Mille carré doré de Montréal, est un bar italien inspiré des années 90. Le ‘‘ bar ’’, pour les italiens, est l’endroit où l’on va durant sa journée, pour prendre une pause. Notre espresso est torréfié en Italie et infusé avec des machines à piston Vittorio Arduini ainsi qu’avec les classiques Bialettis. A stand-up coffee place. Caffettiera (moka coffee pot in italian) is a 90’s inspired Italian bar located in Montreal’s Golden Square Mile. For Italians, the “bar” is where one goes to take a break from the day. Our espresso is roasted in Italy and brewed from shiny Vittorio Arduini Lever machines as well as classic Bialettis.

Review Summary

Bar Caffettiera is widely praised as an authentic Italian coffee spot in downtown Montreal, with espresso and cappuccino repeatedly described as outstanding and pastries like the pistachio croissant and nocciola coffee singled out as standouts. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, blending Italian vibes with a casual, no frills service that many reviewers say handles rushes well. The space is small and can get very crowded, and the outdoor terrace in summer is nice but seating indoors can feel cramped; music can be loud. Menu highlights include panini and mortadella pistacchio sandwiches, bombolone, granita latte, and a variety of Italian snacks, with many raving about the granita and the croissants. Several reviews note that the experience is best for coffee and socializing rather than working, and a few mention occasional inconsistencies in pastries or service. Overall Bar Caffettiera stands out as one of the top coffee spots in the city for authentic Italian flavor, vibrant vibe, and friendly staff, albeit with crowding and noise to consider.

I visited your establishment on Monday, while visiting Montreal.
Your pistachio croissant was 11/10, so light & flaky. Your coffee was great too! Can't wait to come back!!

Best coffee in downtown Montréal

Ha sido un sitio genial y no dudaría en volver. Por las alergias hemos tenido un pequeno imprevisto porque no nos podian garantizar que no tuviera trazas de frutos secos, pero nos ha gustado mucho que fueran sinceros y nos advirtieran. Luego ha venido el camarero que nos había atendido con un croissant recien hecho y nos lo ha ofrecido gratis antes de ponerlo junto a los otros bollos y que se mezclara con las trazas y ha estado atento a que tuvieramos un buen desayuno adaptado para todos. Me ha encantado la experiencia y se lo recomendaría a todo el mundo.

La grande Bellezza. Efficace, parfait, simple & délicieux. Pourquoi faire compliqué quand on peux faire simple !? Une petite merveille.

This is a great spot for quality Italian coffee-rich, smooth, & premium. The service felt a bit unorganized, & the bakery items were on the colder side, but the coffee alone makes it worth the visit.

Iced latte oat milk was super sweet?? Must have been added sugar in there although I did not ask it..

Immaculate vibes hit you as soon as you walk in. They offer premium coffee-no'dirty water,' just quality. The decor is beautiful & the outdoor terrace is a must-enjoy. Pay attention to the door rules; they're part of its unique charm. The staff is incredible, especially Luca, who always brightens my visit!

Ca l'air super bon… mais la musique à fond à 9h du matin était trop intense. Impossible de rester, encore moins de profiter. Dommage.
