Definitely one of my top coffee shop spots in Montreal. They serve italian coffee & the cafe is also instagramble . The pastry is average but I only try bomboloni.

Très bonne expérience dans ce café au concept 100 % italien ! L'ambiance est immersive, avec une musique assez forte qui rappelle vraiment les bars en Italie, & un café bien corsé comme on les aime. J'ai testé un cappuccino au Nutella : excellente surprise, gourmand mais pas écoeurant. On sent que les boissons sont travaillées avec soin. Petit bémol sur les pâtisseries, qui sont certes délicieuses mais un peu chères à mon goût. Malgré cela, l'endroit vaut clairement le détour pour les amateurs de café & d'ambiance italienne authentique.

A very cool Italian cafe! The staff are wonderful, the coffee tastes fantastic, & the atmosphere is phenomenal (amazing music choices!). I was only in Montreal for a week, but got my morning coffee here several times. Do yourself a favour & grab a brioche with your coffee!

In the heart of downtown Montreal, there are plenty of places to grab a quick caffeine fix, but there is only one Bar Caffettiera. This iconic spot doesn't just serve food & drinks; it serves a masterclass in authentic Italian hospitality & style.

Walking into Caffettiera is like stepping through a portal directly into a bustling Rome or Milan café in the mid-1990s. The vibe is absolutely insane-in the best way possible. From the retro, colorful Memphis-group-inspired decor to the energetic buzz of conversation, the atmosphere is incredibly vibrant & effortlessly cool. They have perfectly captured the Italian sprezzatura (studied carelessness). Whether you are standing al banco (at the bar) to knock back a quick espresso or lingering at a table, you feel like you are part of an exclusive yet entirely welcoming club.

While the aesthetic is a massive draw, the coffee is what cements Caffettiera's legendary status. The coffee here is superb, adhering strictly to proper Italian traditions. Expect rich, perfectly extracted espressos with a thick, beautiful crema, & cappuccinos poured with exact ratios-no oversized, diluted drinks here. It is strong, smooth, & served at the perfect temperature to be enjoyed immediately.

Beyond the coffee, the authentic Italian snacks, sandwiches, & pastries (especially the cornetti) round out the experience flawlessly. It is the perfect spot for a quick morning start or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up that transitions smoothly into their famous aperitivo hour.

Bar Caffettiera is an absolute Montreal institution. It offers an uncompromising, joyful celebration of Italian cafe culture right in the middle of the city. For anyone who appreciates superb coffee served with an unforgettable, lively atmosphere, this is a non-negotiable must-visit.
