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.
One of the best go-to coffee spots in the city & across all neighbourhoods. Italian style coffees, amazing pastries & cakes, fresh & flavourful sandwiches. Service is always 10/10 with huge smiles & friendly small talk. Been there 10+ times now with friends & family - not a single disappointed visitor yet :)
C'est simple : on se croirait en Italie ! Espresso, cappuccino, macchiato, panini... Si vous êtes italien·e·s & que votre pays vous manque, vous trouverez votre bonheur ici ainsi qu'une petite bouteille de crodino pour un aperitivo analcolico.

Honestly the best coffee I've had. The pastries & the sandwiches are delicious & the prices are very reasonable.
The guys behind the bar seem to always be enjoying their work & the music/style of the place really brings everything together.
Honestly, one of the best cappuccinos that I had & all of my travel. It was very smooth. It's a really nice ambiance & the pricing is super fair. The staff are very cool & the patrons of this café are also very nice. Even though it was busy, people were not fighting for seats & they were willing to let the next person have them.
Definitely the best place to grab coffee in Montreal anytime I'm here. I will definitely stop again.
Montreal has hundreds of great coffee shops…Bar Caffettiera is a notch above. Stepping in to the space you are greeted in French & Italian. The menu is just like any of the ubiquitous Italian cafes…even offering to coretto your espresso. Perfect macchiatos served with a small glass of sparkling water. Delicious Italian sweet breads stuffed with Nutella or pistachio cream. Peroni or Prosecco, Baci or torrone.
Mille grazie e ciao bello
