Super awesome vibe. I love all the audio gear, & it's just a nice creative space to grab a coffee & get some work done, or just enjoy the ambience.

Cantinova Cafe is such a nice spot. Kaz the owner is a gracious host & always makes you feel welcome. The coffee is great & the vibe is relaxed & friendly.

It's also super convenient as a dropoff point for Audiophonie who did an amazing job fixing my Technics 1200. Made the whole process really easy.

Definitely recommend both the cafe & the repair shop.

Kaz was super nice. Very spacious, comfy vibe.

Not the place to go if you are hungry they do not seem to have much snacks however Kaz did let us taste a VERY delicious homemade muffin his mom made.

Coffee was very good according to my friend! Personally wish they had maple syrup or simple syrup ( I knowwwww but ill stand by it )

They sell vinyls & repair audio gear... & have music events.

I will return ( with my own maple syrup ) when I know im going to the studio next door

This cafe is the perfect spot for those seeking a latte or bite to eat, but where it really shines is with the sound system & audio repair shop - a definite haven for audiophiles! Kaz helped me out a ton by testing my speakers & giving an expert appraisal. They also had DeMello coffee, my personal fave. This spot is a hidden treasure in MTL!

This cafe is super cool. Nice atmosphere with the audiophonie. The owner is very friendly & we feel welcomed. There is a little friend which is super cute. We ordered iced latte & it was good. We will come back again.

I found this cafe by sheer luck on a Sunday, while looking for a cafe to get some work done. The atmosphere was cozy. There was a bunch of Record players & speakers, with great background music playing. I was able to get work done. Kaz was very welcoming & is a knowledgeable audiophile. He guided me in the purchase of my first record player & set of speakers. This local business a little gem.

Nice & cozy place for quick coffee, equipped with hi-fi audios. The owner is very nice as well, it's a good place especially if you prefer somewhere rather quiet.
