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 se distingue comme un petit café italien du centre ville où les cafés italiens authentiques, les pâtisseries et les en-cas tiennent le haut de l'affiche, avec des espresso, macchiatos, croissants et bomboloni loués pour leur qualité et une Granita latte citée par beaucoup. L'ambiance est vivante, chaleureuse et élégante, mêlant une déco rétro à une foule accueillante et dynamique, et le personnel est fréquemment décrit comme sympathique et attentif. L'expérience peut être animée et bruyante par moments, avec une musique parfois trop forte, et les places assises peuvent être serrées en heures d'affluence; une règle sans portable est notée par certains, favorisant le plaisir du moment. Dans l'ensemble, il est considéré comme une destination café remarquable au centre ville, offrant une vibe italienne immersive qui pousse les visiteurs à revenir, parfois comme arrêt matinal ou en milieu d'après-midi, avec une terrasse par beau temps.
We specially lied the vibes & decorations. The place feels overall really authentic with great coffee & food.
It's the perfect spot to rest & recharge when visiting Montréal!
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.
Funky Italian cafe. Perfectly snarky, tongue in cheek humor in the vibe. The most in incredible pistachio croissant I've ever eaten. I will dream about that pastry for the rest of my life. Espresso is excellent with the perfect balance of flavor & crème
Great coffee, great vibe, great people. A fusion of an authentic Italian coffee bar with a little hipster twist. Also doubles as a cocktail bar. No frills, no americanos.
Reasonably priced, especially for downtown.
Had a pistachio double espresso shot which was delicious.
They also have typical sandwiches you might find in Italy along with their own creations.
I love this little gem. It has hilarious rules posted to the wall & has are Italian gone rogue vibe. It's may favourite stop downtown to grab a flat white without alone milk!! ;) I do wish they had coconut milk though rather than oat milk which is basically like drinking pasta water.

Vibes are energetic inside, cool & chill outside. Don't be annoying & ask for special prep. Just order & trust them. If you want drip garbage, there's a Tim Horton down the block. Perfect experience for me.
If you're someone who enjoys real coffee & loves being around great people & great vibes, THIS IS IT!!! I come here very regularly & I'm always blown away at how well the staff handles a rush. Always spark a great conversation with someone & I'm never left disappointed. This is is place to be!
Immaculate vibes hit you as soon as you walk in. They offer premium coffee-no'dirty water,' just quality. The decor is beautiful & the outdoor terrace is a must-enjoy. Pay attention to the door rules; they're part of its unique charm. The staff is incredible, especially Luca, who always brightens my visit!
Amazing atmosphere. & it's not just the decor, it's people behind the counter & the regulars- everything creates a unique vibe. & of course great coffee & very tasty pastry.

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.
