Review Summary

Brûlerie FARO generally earns praise for coffee that is rich, flavorful and consistently well brewed, with many noting excellent lattes, mochas and a wide bean selection, though a few reviews mention a coffee-machine change that altered the taste and drinks that arrive lukewarm. The atmosphere is cool, modern and cozy, with comfortable space for working, but seating can be limited and noise can rise in the afternoon. Service is often friendly and efficient, with helpful staff and occasional missteps or rudeness noted by a few. Location downtown is convenient, and opinions on value vary from top-tier coffee destination to pricey for modest food. Cleanliness is mixed, with some reports of unclean tables and dirty bathrooms and even a few issues like flies. Overall, Brûlerie FARO stands out for its coffee and consistency, but visit quality can hinge on seating, cleanliness and service at different times.

They invested in the space at the expense of the coffee. I used to go frequently & always thought they served a good decent cup. Now, they changed the coffee machine & it just tastes like the average starbucks latte you'd get anywhere else. If you love coffee, i wouldn't put this in an itinerary.

Staff is nice.

Latte is good but not hot enough compared to other coffee places. It became lukewarm after 3 sips.

Cool, modern & cozy cafe. Medium sized with just enough seating. I spent a few hours here working & found it to be a comfortable place to work. Got a bit noisy after 5pm. Service from the staff was great. Made me a great latte.

no joke, one of the few cafés in montreal that make good coffee. I always take iced latte with caramel syrup. first of all, the price is slightly lower than in other places, so definitely a big plus!. second, latte does not taste watery, but has good coffee flavour, even after some time. third, they always put a lot of syrup, & it tastes soooo yummy, I am transported to heaven. definitely recommend 🧚?♀?

I visited back in January & still think about this place fondly. They serve a very tasty mocha & matcha latte. The only downside was the limited seating - since many people come here to be productive, it can be hard to find a spot, especially during the winter months.

Meilleur café à Montréal à mon avis! J'y vais au moins une fois par semaine entre 2 cours d'université, & à chaque fois je me régale de leur latte. C'est aussi à Faro que je me procure mes graines de café pour chez moi! On a un rabais de 50% sur nos grains si on ramène le même sac. En plus, tous leurs emballages & tasses à emporter sont compostables. Super endroit, vraiment 🫶 :)

Perfect place for coffee. Its my go to place as i love the latte here. They have some amazing bakery items as well . My favorite is scones. They just have perfect lattes & mochas. The place is usually packed in the evenings but a quiet place to study or work or just have a cup of coffee & relax. The baristas are also great & welcoming. Reasonable prices.

Great tasting lattee & barista making our drinks was super friendly ! Poured it perfectly without spilling it over & gave herself a bow which was rightfully deserved haha. Look forward to returning.

I would consider myself a loyal fan of café faro until today. i went to pick up a chai latte since it's my usual however there was an odd smell like urine. i compared the smell from the drink & the lid & the smell was coming from the lid. it took me a moment to realized there was yellow stains from it & that's where the horrible smell was coming from. i genuinely felt sick to my stomach & i don't feel like going back there anymore which is upsetting since it was really my fav cafe :(

The latte was very good but I didn't like the pastry item that I ordered. It was cold & a little bit stale.

One of the absolute best coffee shops in the city! The latte is incredibly out of this world & worth every penny! Every pastry I've tried has been tasty & delicious. I love sitting here but the only downside is, it's slightly small so there are chances you show up & have no room to sit. Its a very popular spot, highly recommend!
