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.

Good place for for a short stop or friendly meeting place. Taste of coffee is good & better than franchise coffee shops.
They have good pastries but you should take it fast.
The price is good & fair.

Fantastic assortment of coffee. Double fantastic barista & good atmosphere! Pastries could be better but not the main focus of this cafe.

FARO Café has quickly become one of my favorite downtown coffee stops. I've visited multiple times, & each visit has been consistently excellent. Their coffee is truly the star of the show-rich, flavorful, & brewed to perfection every single time. I can honestly say I've never had a bad cup here, which speaks volumes for their quality & consistency.

The menu extends beyond coffee, offering a nice selection of beverages, sandwiches, pastries, & salads. While I haven't explored these as much, they make FARO a versatile spot for a quick snack or light meal.

What sets FARO apart, aside from their stellar coffee, is the service. The staff is polite, efficient, & spot-on with orders. Coffee lovers will understand how important it is to get exactly what you ordered-& at FARO, that's a given.

If you're downtown & need a reliable, excellent coffee experience, FARO Café is a must-visit. I'll definitely keep coming back & highly recommend you check it out.

So very nice to get a perfect cortado outside Spain.
Most of our pastries were excellent but a raspberry & pistachio scone was heavy & very dry.
But will definitely go back for the coffee & a pain au chocolat or other such delight.

I absolutely love this cafe. I discovered it during my vacation in Montreal. Love the vibe, comfortable seating & delicious coffee & pastries. Great place to relax or study.
I would definitely visit this cafe again when I come back to Montreal.
