Café L'Étincelle is, first and foremost, the story of Rémy and Benjamin — two passionate, hardworking, and complementary brothers who, on February 10, 2016, took over a small corner café on the lesser-loved stretch of Beaubien East, at the corner of De Bordeaux, between Papineau and De Lorimier.

It didn’t take long for the locals to discover them, and soon a vibrant, supportive community grew around the café. Every employee became part of this tight-knit family, bringing their own warmth and unique personality to the adventure.

At the end of their first year, it was the customers who surprised the owners with a birthday celebration — flower garlands, kind notes, and heartfelt thanks. That’s when L’Étincelle truly began to shine.

In just two years, Le Café L’Étincelle had become a beloved fixture in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie and beyond, affectionately known as “L’Étincelle,” “the café of the two brothers,” “Chez les frangins,” or simply “the neighborhood café.”

A year later, their father Patrice joined the team, bringing even more expertise and expanding the range of homemade offerings with caramels, Breton crêpes, and creative pastries...

I was looking for something to pass the time before an appointment in the area, & came across this cozy little place. The staff was warm & kind, & the atmosphere comfortable & relaxing. I got a flan cake & an oat milk latte, both of which were delicious & hit the spot. I was able to unwind & read a few chapters of my book while sipping my coffee, it was lovely. Definitely a gem!

Avec cette formidable équipe du Café l'Étincelle, tout est dans le souci de l'attention, ce désir naturel hospitalier & surtout de nous faire ressentir individuellement comme des humains! Ah oui, c'est très bon aussi👌🏽😅💓☀?

Coffee culture in Montreal is a serious ritual, but this place does not make it feel complicated. Very relaxed environment, owners working on a Sunday morning doing it all for the love of coffee & community. Hospitable service.

Honestly, the best café in the neighborhood. It's always a pleasure going there. Owners & staff are very nice. Great coffee & baked goods with Breton flavours.
I never know where to go when they close on Mondays.

Recommendations: If you have a sweet tooth, try the mocha, the Breton latte, made with their homemade caramel, & any of the cakes of the moment.

(P.S. for the owners: Please bring back the old matcha 😆)
