Je suis passée dans ce café/barber situé à Westmount & j'ai eu une expérience plutôt positive. L'endroit est sympa, avec une ambiance détendue & sans prétention. L'accueil était chaleureux & le personnel agréable, ce qui met tout de suite à l'aise. Les prix sont corrects pour le quartier. Cela dit, même si tout est bien fait, rien ne sort vraiment de l'ordinaire. Une adresse correcte, à la bonne franquette.
From the moment I walked in, I felt an instant sense of comfort & warmth. This coffee shop isn't just a place to grab a drink it's an experience. The atmosphere is cozy, inviting, & full of little details that make you want to slow down & stay a while.
The staff are genuinely kind & welcoming, & you can feel how much love they put into what they do. My coffee was absolutely perfect! Rich, smooth, & clearly made with care. Every sip felt like a small moment of happiness.
What really stood out to me was the overall vibe: peaceful, friendly, & full of positive energy. Whether you're coming in to work, catch up with a friend, or just enjoy some quiet time to yourself, this place makes you feel right at home.
I'll definitely be coming back again & again. This little café has truly won my heart 🤍☕
I stopped by Brew Lab this summer as a plus one for my foodie friend Sarah's collab, & I genuinely didn't expect to stumble upon such a special little café tucked inside a barbershop.
There's no big sign outside & nothing flashy. Just really good drinks, warm energy, & local art everywhere you look. It feels intentional & welcoming in that easy summer way, the kind of place you wander into & end up staying longer than planned.
I tried a few drinks & each one stood out. The Mango Affogato was tropical & creamy & felt especially perfect for a hot day. The Cocowater Matcha had real coconut slivers & was super refreshing, & the Freddo Cappuccino was bold & strong without being overwhelming. They use Italian beans roasted here in Québec, & you can taste the care that goes into everything.
One fun summer detail is their $3 affogato special on Wednesdays, with rotating gelato flavors. It's an easy midweek stop if you're nearby & craving something cold & comforting.
What really makes Brew Lab special, though, is the energy. They spotlight a new local artist every month, the art is available for purchase, & they don't take any commission. They also host community pop ups, welcome dogs, & rent out the space for events, which makes it feel deeply rooted in the neighborhood.
The barbershop has been around for a couple of years, & the café launched more recently, but even during my summer visit, it already felt like a local favorite in the making.
I'm just a foodie who loves trying new spots & sharing my experiences. If you enjoy discovering places like this, come hang out with me on TikTok @foxy.appetite & IG @foxyappetite 💛
Coffee hits everytime! That's really how BrewLab shines, no matter what variation you're ordering the coffee is front & center. The offering is born of passion, the coffee roasted here in Montreal & a unique blend for the cafe; same goes for any mix you choose. Chocolate in your coffee? It's made in house, cause that's the only way your coffee is gonna taste great. & now you can get the unique blend either in bean or ground options! They share the space with a barber shop & it just doesn't get more Montreal than that, in the best way possible - shared spaces for dedicated entrepreneurs working hard to bring us a great cup of coffee!
