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.

Caffeteria est une adresse incontournable à Montréal pour les amateurs de café, avec une ambiance italienne authentique qui vous transporte dès le premier pas à l'intérieur. Leur expresso est tout simplement exceptionnel, probablement l'un des meilleurs de la ville. Intense, riche & parfaitement équilibré, il reflète un savoir-faire digne des meilleures cafétérias italiennes. Le lieu dégage un charme méditerranéen, avec une décoration sobre & élégante qui rappelle les cafés de Rome ou Milan. Que ce soit pour un café pris sur le pouce ou pour s'installer tranquillement avec un cornetto ou une pâtisserie maison, l'atmosphère est idéale. L'attention portée à chaque détail, de la musique au service, contribue à cette immersion dans une véritable expérience italienne. Le personnel est chaleureux & accueillant, ajoutant une touche supplémentaire à cette ambiance conviviale. Les prix sont tout à fait raisonnables pour la qualité exceptionnelle des produits & l'expérience proposée. Si vous cherchez un café digne des grandes traditions italiennes à Montréal, Caffeteria est un incontournable.

Stumbled upon this place around the corner from our hotel. Excellent coffee & the amarene cornetto & nutella cornetto were amazing, more bread-like but very very good! Later on we stopped by for a pressed panini & it was also amazing. They toasted it & the bread was soooo good. Really cute place (with cute baristas) & excellent genuine Italian products. Wish we had a place like this in Brooklyn.

Visiting from Abbotsford BC, my wife found this place & we LOVED it. They have rules around what you CAN'T order (no size changes, no ice cubes, etc) to keep the authenticity real, & it is a very different & exceptional experience. Definitely check out while you're in Montreal.
