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.

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.

A traditional Italian café, overtly authentic (excellent service with an appropriately strict menu). Their cappuccino is excellent!

I had a stop over in Montreal & needed a coffee. I always like cafes either an aesthetically pleasing vibe & this had it. The baristas are great, friendly & make a damn good latte. I had an Italian pastry which was absolutely delicious. The decor inside was super nice. I took a star off because there wasn't enough seating but that's not their fault. It was just a popular spot.

I really like the ambiance . The service was fast & friendly. The Conetto was pretty good, but I didn't like was the coffee, my latte was a bit cold & the Americano was bitter.

A cozy little cafe with a taste of Italy. Their Marocchino is a sweet delight. Perfect for a quick pick-me-up! #TogetherWeGrow
