Review Summary

Bar Caffettiera is widely celebrated as an authentic Italian café in downtown Montreal, consistently praised for its high-quality espresso, traditional coffee standards, and vibrant, retro atmosphere. Visitors frequently describe the experience as being transported directly to Italy, noting the skilled staff, delicious pastries like the pistachio croissant, and savory offerings such as focaccia and mortadella sandwiches. While the venue is often busy and can be quite loud with music, most guests appreciate the no-nonsense approach to classic coffee culture and the lively, welcoming energy of the space. Although some reviewers find the seating limited or the volume intense, the majority recommend it as a premier destination for those seeking a genuine, uncompromising coffee experience.

Cashier was very rude, when asked how come the Cappuccino was made as a flat white due to the lack of foam, he interestingly told me that they simply don't make it with foam & also advised to go Tim Hortons instead. Sure, Tim Hortons probably makes better coffee, & with better customer service.

Cercavamo un posto dove fare un pranzo leggero e salutare. Siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti. Abbiamo preso il piatto con omelette, toast, avocado e salmone affumicato. Davvero buonissimo. Locale semplice e tranquillo. Posto molto consigliato. I ragazzi che ci hanno servito sono stati molto gentili.
