Baristello Griffintown comes across as a top coffee spot with an excellent Americano and tasty pastries like pistachio croissants with apricot cream, plus friendly, attentive staff. The vibe is warm and neighborhood oriented, with a cozy space and a popular terrace in summer, and the team is frequently praised for making guests feel welcome; while some comments note pricing or value concerns and occasional variability in sandwiches, the overall impression is that the coffee quality is outstanding and the place functions as a welcoming community space that draws locals and dog lovers alike.
I love coming to this place. It almost feels like you're in Italy. The staff are super nice, constantly hearing Italian being spoken, & the coffee is great. Weekly ritual for me!
When the owner takes the time to serve properly & chat with customers, it creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to come back every morning. A true neighborhood café.
Well done Piero (owner), you're the best. 👌🇮🇹

Very nice place! Dripped coffee was very tasty - Brazilian blend - & the croissant pair with it really well! It is cozy & very nice place to drink a good cofffee
Amazing cozy neighborhoods café, delicious coffee, sandwiches & snacks, coolest staff ever. Perfect for a meet-up of to work. In the summer they have the coolest terrace outside!
Great place! The coffee is awesome! The quality is just as exceptional as it is at the other locations. I asked the barista for advice on what to try, asked what i liked & what i didn't like & came up with a fantastic drink. Highly suggest you visit.
By far the best coffee in griffintown & one of the best in the city… I miss their old port location too (by a different name). The parade of beautiful dogs that attend with their humans is not to be missed… my daughter calls it'the doggy cafe'
Walked in thinking we were grabbing some tasty sandwiches & coffees from Bodega & were disappointed by the raised prices & lowered quality of products of this new place. Sandwiches were mediocre, coffee was alright but not worth the price. Overall expensive & not worth it.
J'adooooooore!! Café très Mimi, ambiance Italie, les gérants sont adorables!!
Les prix sont normaux, c'est le marché actuel , & la qualité est au rendez-vous!! 🩷🩷
Merci & à bientôt,
Grazieeee
