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.
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.
Great Italian vibing cafe. Nice to see a coffee menu with a lot of different options. Also a great place to get your Italian snacks!! Nice & comfortable patio. A lot of food choices here as well. Cute , fun & delightful.
Cafe / cocktail bar with European flair. Great coffee, good pastries & an awesome patio. Perfect stop for a weekend coffee
(To my American friends: you will get to know here the European sizes of coffee. Significantly smaller than in US)
Good way to start your morning. I mean, a few pushy, impatient customers, budging in front of me, but happy the barista noticed & served me before them.
Sorry for eaten pastries in photos I had no patience to taste 😁 was delish.
Ordered my Americano & extra shot of espresso & notified me they do not add water, it's against policy or something (I am very forgetful). I ordered the top 3 pastries & a meat & cheese sandwich, & was not disappointed. Thank you Bar C.
En plus d'un excellent café je viens ici pour l'ambiance, le sourire & l'accueil chaleureux de L'équipe. On s'y sent comme à la maison !!
Merci à vous pour votre professionnalisme & votre super énergie, j'en ressors toujours reboosté !
Espresso was nothing special. Pastries were awful. The donut was wet & tasteless. Filled croissants had no flavor or texture whatsoever. Service was good & staff was friendly.
Really cool spot, great decoration & style, nice music too. The atmosphere is pretty chill & transports you to an Italian coffee bar. I try a cheese & eggplant sandwich & a marocchino coffee & both were superb!
Without doubt the very best coffee in Montreal followed by the vibe! Every city in the world needs a place like caffettiera. Definitely always going to go back!
Meilleur sandwich que j'ai eu dans tout Montréal, le seul petit hick c'est qu'on peut avoir l'impression de déranger de pas connaître toutes les spécialités italiennes, même si certains serveurs sont pas comme ça
