Open in 2008 steps, and just steps away from Concordia University, Café Myriade focuses on the quality of its coffee first and foremost. Its two founders have already proven their worth as baristas (specialist bartenders in coffee-based drinks).
Across reviews, Café Myriade is described as a beloved Montreal spot for dependable coffee and a warm, cozy vibe. The drinks are consistently delicious, with notes of latte, mocha, chai and matcha and strong local roasts highlighted, while pastries such as croissants and muffins are frequently praised. The baristas are usually friendly and helpful, with recommendations that elevate the visit, though some readers note the cafe can feel crowded and small, especially on busy mornings or snowy days. The local neighborhood presence stands out, and staff are often described as welcoming, making regulars feel at home. A few critiques appear, including moments of rushed or less friendly service, language friction for francophone customers, limited or no wifi, and the challenge of seating when the space is full. Overall, Café Myriade emerges as one of the top coffee spots in Montreal, valued for quality drinks, tasty pastries, and a lively, student-friendly atmosphere.
This place has a genuinely inviting atmosphere. There's something about the café's interior design that creates a cozy, warm ambiance & makes it comfortable to spend time there.
The croissant was flavorful, though it would have been better if it had been served warm. The coffee quality is good overall, but the temperature could be improved. For instance, the hot chocolate was not as hot as expected.
Les cafés & la nourriture étaient délicieux & la musique est très originale, je pourrais revenir.
Malheureusement, les baristas ne sont pas aimables & ne font pas d'efforts pour parler français.

Everytime, no matter which barista, the cortado they serve is the same. I never have to worry about if this time will be good or not ...unlike many of the coffee shops in Montreal. It's consistent. Coffee never tastes bad here. It's also 4$ here.
I've tried other Myriade in Plateau, Atwater, Club Monaco... but it isn't the same there. This one on Mackay is so far the best in my opinion. Thank you.
My daily coffee shop for every day that I spent in Montreal. Coffee was consistently delicious & the baristas were always friendly. The chocolatine was my favorite. The space was really cute & cozy, but it's kind of hard to find a table when it's full & snowy. Nonetheless I loved Cafe Myriade.
Love coming here. It's our new favorite coffee spot. Only one issue - the barista is always by herself. How can the owners leave her all alone?
& she's still amazing.
We happened upon this cafe, not realizing its reputation in Montreal. It was the best latte I had in the city, & again, completely unexpected. The barista was so kind & made recommendations for my husband & I. Highly recommend for a quick breakfast or to-go treat.
J'ai bu un cappuccino décaf qui goûtait vraiment bon, comme un vrai! J'ai aussi bu un mocha décaf qui goûtait le bon vrai cacao. Service efficace. Lieu agréable pour relaxer un peu.
A good local coffee shop. The coffee itself was fine, good but not outstanding. The pastries were nice though a touch dry. Overall if you're in the area it's a decent choice.
Les employés de ce café ne font jamais l'effort de parler aux clients francophones dans leur langue . Ils ne disent même pas bonjour en français, & on laisse faire le côté sympathique parce qu'ils ont toujours l'air blasés & préfèrent parler entre eux jusqu'à ce que quelqu'un finisse par servir les clients.
Petit rappel : au Québec, offrir le service en français, ce n'est pas optionnel, mais mandatoire! Aussi, je ne crois pas que dire bonjour & demander la grandeur en français, est très exigeant pour les employés ... 🙄🙄🙄
They have a Kees van der Westen espresso machine. If you know, you know. If you don't know, it's like an $80k European hand made top of the line machine in one of the only cafes I've seen actually use one. & it makes real, real, good coffee. Their local roasts are also very nice.
We came here every morning for the three days we were in town. The staff made us feel like we were regulars from ages. From the pastries to the drinks, everything was the best quality. They have a wonderful neighbourhood presence. Given some circumstances with the hotel we were staying at, my friend wanted to get pastries for the hotel staff. When the cafe staff found out, they contributed extra in consideration. A must stop visit if you're nearby.
