Baristello Jarry is described as a cozy, welcoming cafe in Villeray where the coffee is consistently excellent and pastries like pistachio croissants are a highlight. Cortados and americanos are praised, the beans are regarded as high quality, and the overall coffee experience is seen as top notch. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, with staff noted for their kindness. A few reviews mention a sandwich missing ingredients and a small but tasty dessert selection, while vegan options are appreciated. Overall the place comes across as a reliable neighborhood staple where many visitors say they would return when in Montreal.
Mixed feelings. Ordered the salami focaccia & while the bread & meat were good, they low-key left out the best parts... no roquette, no caramelized onion, & no tapenade.
It was basically a totally different sandwich. Coffee was great, but please double-check orders before sending them out!
Leur café wow pi a un autre niveau. Savoureux :)
Pareil pour tout se quil vendent a manger rapidement.
Vraiment une bonne place le fun a visiter. & Merci pour le bon service :)
I've been coming to Café Baristello on Jarry for a while now, & it's easily one of my favorite coffee spots in the area. The atmosphere is warm & welcoming, with just the right balance between cozy & lively. Whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee or sitting down to work or catch up with someone, it's always a great vibe.
The coffee is consistently excellent-rich, smooth, & clearly made with care. You can tell the baristas know what they're doing. I've tried a few different drinks over time, & they've all been spot on. Their pastries & light bites are also fresh & really good, especially considering the very reasonable prices.
What really makes this place stand out, though, is the service. The staff are genuinely friendly, attentive, & remember regulars, which adds a really personal touch. It never feels rushed or impersonal, even when it's busy.
Overall, Café Baristello is the kind of neighborhood café you hope to find-great coffee, fair prices, & a team that clearly cares about what they do. Highly recommend to anyone nearby.
A quaint little spot tucked into one of my favorite neighborhoods (Villeray, Montréal). Great coffee & delicious sandwiches that deliver a small burst of joy with every bite. Today's hunger-induced pit stop turned a cold winter day into something warmer & brighter.

Nous sommes venues avec mon amie ce matin & nous avons eu un accueil plus que chaleureux! Leurs cafés sont excellents ainsi que leur croissants à la pistache. Merci de votre bel accueil, cest le fun de commencer sa journée comme ca!
Ps Fritz & Belou vous remercient également de les avoir laissés entrer le temps de commander les cafés 🥰
Sandwich was good, but was missing most of its ingredients. I ordered the salami focaccia, & neither the roquette nor the black olive tappenade were there. Same for the caramelized onion. Coffee was pretty decent though
