Café Caron & frères comes across as a cozy neighborhood treasure with a thoughtful lineup of coffees from several roasters and a menu that pairs well with pastries and generous breakfast sandwiches. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff are friendly, and the seating plus a pleasant terrace make it a great spot for a meet up with friends or colleagues. The coffee is repeatedly described as excellent and well balanced, with notes of smooth espresso and latte artistry, and a rotating selection of beans, including seasonal specials like tiramisu coffee and pumpkin spice latte. Local products for sale are appreciated, and the place is seen as one you’d want to return to and even bring others to. Occasional points about crowding, limited seating, and in a couple of cases small cup sizes or modest prices appear, but they don’t outweigh the overall impression of high quality coffee, tasty bites, and a charming, inviting vibe in the area.
Mon café préféré de tout Montréal & probablement un des meilleurs au monde que j'ai goûté. Staff extrêmement gentil & accueillant & ambiance chaleureuse.

I finally visited this coffee shop I'd been wanting to try. It was very busy with no available seating ( people were eating standing) I ordered a chai, but for $7 CAD it didn't meet expectations. The staff, however, were very friendly.
Un vrai coup de coeur pour Café Caron & Frères dans la Petite Italie ! Leur sandwich déjeuner est absolument à tomber - généreux, savoureux, toujours parfait. Les lattés sont excellents : le goût du café est bien présent!
L'été, leur Arnold Palmer (mélange limonade + thé glacé) est vraiment bon & parfait pour accompagner les journées de grosse chaleur.
Le personnel est toujours sympathique & souriant, & la terrasse extérieure est un bonheur du printemps jusqu'aux derniers jours de l'automne.
Une adresse à soutenir que je recommande sans hésiter !
Un de mes cafés préférés à Montréal! Service chaleureux, atmosphère invitante & convivial, & les cafés sont magnifiques! Hier par une belle journée d'automne, nous avons essayé le Pumpkin Spice Latte. Il était crémeux, gourmand & parfaitement équilibré. 🧡
The fact that I want to travel back several hours to Montreal just so I can have the tiramisu coffee is insane. I often think of it which says a lot. The salads looked delicious too but did not get a chance to try them.
Been to milions of coffee places this is by FAR THE BEST OF THE BEST..If 5 stars is maximum rating I give this place a 6!
Simply the best!!!! Try it & you will not regret it!
Had one of their specialities - Tiramisu Coffee. Must say it's a unique one. Service was friendly too. To me it seemed like a quaint yet a modern vibe student cafe. Has nice seating including sofa couch, table-chair, high chair & outdoor seating. Also, they have cute merchandise as well you're interested. Overall, a cute one.

This coffee shop tastes really good. The staff are very friendly & welcoming. Although it's not very big, it has a nice outdoor seating area.
However, the coffee size is quite small. I ordered a cappuccino, & when I received it, the cup seemed only half full. After just three or four sips, it was already gone.
If the portion size were larger, I would definitely give it a higher rating.
Sliiightly overpriced.
But the coffee was good. Cute merch. Amazing A/C
Refill station for water bottle ( phenomenal )
Only 1 restroom
Nice employees
Would go back
