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.

Stopped in for coffee, all tables were occupied by people with computers, a patron indicated they were waiting for someone, so offered to share a seat with us. The server was rude & snappy with us. When I ordered a coffee, she snarled at me that she was deaf in one ear, instead of saying'I didn't hear you'. My brother said'Bonjour', before ordering & she responded'I do speak English', then sarcastically said' but I can speak French if you prefer' knowing full well we were English speaking.
The bathroom was dirty, & there were no towels to dry my hands.
When we left, all the same patrons were still there.
Definately won't return or recommend.

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.

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 🧚?♀?

The coffee & Matcha at Brûlerie FARO was so so good! Our barista was very helpful & helping us select what we should try for the first time & very patient when we were changing options. We came here on the morning of Christmas Eve & there honestly weren't many people in the coffee shop so it felt like a very quiet & quality experience. Would definitely recommend!

You can find the best coffee here. I am espresso guy & they serve the best one! Also coffee beans are perfect, I recommend "women coffee producers". The baristas & staffs also are friendly & professional. Highly recommended!

Le café Faro est bon & coûteux, joli espace. Manque de choix de gourmandise. Leur café glacé est vraiment bon 😁❤️ Une belle place que je recommande. Lors de notre visite belle accueil.

Amazing atmosphere with great service! Baristas are always kind & welcoming. They have a very wide variety of beans. A true embodiment of what 3rd wave coffee shops aim to be. Recommend to everybody!

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!
