I stopped by Brûlerie FARO-Roasting House Montréal & ordered a café latte with a croissant. They absolutely nailed the latte-rich, aromatic coffee perfectly blended with silky milk. Paired with a buttery, flaky croissant, it made for a simple but delicious breakfast.
If you're ever traveling to Montreal, this little café is a hidden gem in downtown. Highly recommended for coffee lovers! ☕🥐

I am a regular at this spot & I have to say the quality of the coffee is consistently excellent. The roasting process really brings out the nuances in the beans & the staff is always happy to explain the different origins available that day. It is a quiet place perfect for getting some work done or just catching up with a friend in a comfortable setting. Definitely one of the better roasters in the city if you care about the craft.

The scent when you walk through the doors is absolutely amazing. You can tell they take their roasting seriously here. I grabbed a bag of beans to take home & they were super fresh & tasted great on my pour over setup. Service was quick & efficient even though it was quite busy when I visited. If you are a coffee lover in Montreal you owe it to yourself to check this place out at least once.

Stopped by for a quick latte & was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. It has that authentic industrial feel you expect from a real roasting house. The barista was super knowledgeable & took the time to dial in my order perfectly. Prices are fair for the level of quality you get & it is clear they put a lot of care into their product. Will be coming back next time I am in the neighborhood for sure.

Honestly just a solid place to grab a cup of coffee. No gimmicks here just good beans & good service. I prefer coming here over the big chain shops because you can taste the difference in the freshness of the roast. The location is convenient & the layout inside is pretty nice for a relaxed afternoon. I have never had a bad experience here & the team seems to really know their stuff when it comes to extraction times.
