Café Even is widely praised for very high quality coffee and matcha, with some saying it has among the best espresso and single origin beans in Montreal, served in a modern, calm space that invites taking time to enjoy; the staff are described as friendly and knowledgeable and the drinks are prepared with evident care, though service can be slower when lines are long or peak times hit a tight crew; pastries are notable, especially chocolate croissants, and there is a selection of high end teas and the option to buy beans for home; the atmosphere is cozy, intimate, and conducive to chatting or working, with many reviewers calling it a standout and a must visit for coffee lovers, even if the location is a bit off the beaten path and the seating is not always the most comfortable.
Café Even : le design est magnifique, original, & ça donne vraiment envie de prendre le temps de déguster son café sur place (& d'y revenir!).
La barista semblait vraiment investie & attentive dans la préparation des cafés, on sent le soin & la maîtrise, & c'était vraiment bon. On était un petit groupe & j'ai passé un super moment!
Love this cafe. Delicious lattes - like the very best. Friendly staff. You can sit & chill & write of meet there with friends. You can purchase coffee beans for home as well as high end teas. I highly recommend.
Truely one of the best coffee shops in Montreal, serves some of the best espresso I've ever tasted.
Café Even is dedicated to the art of coffee. They serve specialty single origin & in-house roasted coffee. The staff is very friendly & super knowledgeable on coffee, make sure to ask & learn about the different beans they have to offer.
In addition to espresso, they make great milk drinks, pour overs, & carry very tasty pastries. The ambiance is always very calm & relaxed.
In a quiet café tucked away in a Montreal neighborhood, over one perfect cup of coffee, we talk about AI, cinema, Street food, Saigon, Naples, & all the possible storylines of the movie that is our life!
If you are a gear nerd you'll also appreciate the 3(!) high end grinders they have in here. Seeing that should leave you reassured they know what they're doing, but equipment alone doesn't mean it'll be good.
The menu has multiple special options, including a competition grade Nestor Lasso Ombligon.
I had just came in from the SCA expo, where I'd tasted a bunch of extremely interesting & obscure coffees, this still stood out to me. Brewed to perfection, with excellent clarity & tropical fruit notes, even with an ever-growing line at the bar the barista didn't rush my drink.
This place is a rare find in the city, a place where each drink is prepared meticulously & the customers are told they may have to wait. I'm super impressed by this café!
