I've been going to cafes regularly in Montreal for about a decade & this is in my top 3, if not, the best espresso I've had in the city. The espresso in most coffee shops in our city is way too acidic & fruity, often tastes poorly brewed. The espresso at Diff is roasty, not burnt, tastes fresh & the acidity is very balanced. The baristas are always polite as well & the place is small & cozy. Highly recommend this place

Cute little coffee shop, with excellent coffee. My cortado was the best I've had in montreal. Also, very efficiently run with the nicest baristas & vintage finds. I bought an excellent book & Russian dolls for my toddler!

I am visiting from NYC & have been trying to find a really well made cup of coffee. After trying about 3-4 others, coming to diff. was a breath of fresh air. Best coffee I've had on this trip.

Really nice spot near Square Victoria for coffee/pastries. Bright/clean atmosphere, beautiful Marzocco machine, friendly service & good coffee. Closes early & on weekends which is a bit of a bummer but it's mainly oriented to the office workers in the area. Got a cold brew which was great.

Correct. Le café est bon. Les viennoiseries sont très ordinaires, mais le café est bon.

Not like at all not greeted in french & there is bad smell in the coffee like sewage.

It's one of the best coffee places downtown Montreal. Prices are fair but quality is top notch. I highly recommend!

A relaxed & calm spot downtown where the coffee is excellent (the best in the area) & the service is super friendly. The croissants are delicious & the take out bottles of natural wine are premium! Coffee beans by BOWS coffee roasters are sold here highly recommended.

Stopped in for breakfast & picked up a bag of coffee as well. Perfect little spot on a cute street. Friendly barista. Love the childrens books on the wall.

Mocha with a perfect blend of chocolate & coffee, London Fog that is strong & sweet just right, with two huge cookies full of choco chips. Overall, great great experience, will come back & recommend!
