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).
Café Myriade is described as a tiny but punchy coffee spot with consistently good drinks, a warm and cozy vibe, and friendly baristas, praised for pastries and the inviting atmosphere but occasionally crowded or hard to sit in, with reviews noting occasional service hiccups, drink temperature issues, and a few language friction moments, while the location near Concordia and the quality of local roasts and a high end espresso machine are frequently highlighted positives.
Stumbled into Cafe Myriade on a Tuesday evening after a long day of meetings, & the pour-over bar alone made it worth the detour - watching the barista dial in the grind with actual intention reminded me of the serious third-wave spots I frequent in Tokyo & Copenhagen. The light roast they were featuring had a clarity I rarely find outside of specialty roasters who really know what they're doing. Service was unhurried but attentive, which is a harder balance to strike than most cafes realize. If you're passing through Montreal & care about coffee the way some people care about wine, this one belongs on your list.

This is an amazing cafe that I have lived close to for years, so this was a long overdue visit. I did come here to work but found there was no wifi or outlets, but that doesn't subtract from the review at all because that's just not what the cafe is purposed for & that's fine! This is more of a cafe to socialize at over a coffee, but you can certainly get work done here if you have the technical capabilities to do so independently. The patio is quite appealing as well. The staff here is excellent, barista was mad friendly & my latte was superb. I was surprised by how high the volume got, probably due to influxes of Concordia students getting out of various classes. The baked goods are also awesome. This is a superb cafe, can see why they are doing so well.
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.
A comforting atmosphere café with consistently well made iced lattes. A great place to study or get some work done if it's not too busy with all the other customers who also love this place.

You can find strong & creamy cafe latte, & Matcha latte here :) , located very close to concordia university. Usually fresh cookies, white chocolate & raspberry croissant. Atmosphere is nice as well if you like to be surrounded by students.
This cafe is tiny but packs an enormous punch for its size! My latte was the best latte I have had in Montreal. The croissant was excellent & was one of several delicious looking pastry selections. The baristas are courteous & efficient. There's seating outside as well. Pricing? Above the famous Canadian coffee shop but below that expensive American place. In any case, I prefer to patronise a local business than a big chain.

chef's kiss to the person who makes almond croissant!!! but the chai latte keeps disappointing me. it mostly tastes like steamed milk & lacks spices of chai.
This has been my go to coffee shop since it opened-10 years ago now?? AC fixed. It's a tiny shop, & not well laid out. Much of the cafe IS the line-up. Love to see a reno here to maximize seating. Otherwise, love it.
My partner & I learned about Cafe Myriade from the barista Ram when we visited Micro Espresso. We are visitors to Montreal & love coffee so we were keen on checking this place out as well. Ram was an absolute delight at both Myriade & Micro Espresso. I had an espresso while my partner had a latte. The espresso was really tasty. Smooth, slightly acidic, great balance of bitterness & sourness, & really fragrant. While the drinks were good, the best part was the interactions with Ram. He was so friendly, easy going & overall made the experience 10 times better. I'm convinced the coffee tasted as good as it did because of Ram. 10/10. Would definitely recommend.
The latte tasted really good. Small selection of baked goods, but decent choices. Only suggestion would be to give number tags to those who are dining in so that they can go sit down & have their coffee brought to them. ☕️🍽️
The OG joint of specialty coffee in mtl. Grungy in the right way. Juicy coffee or dark coffee, they always offer it all. Viennoiseries are legit. Oh & the prices are the best in the whole city. An institution. Some baristas are a bit entitled & offer no real service whatsoever, but for the most part barista here are attentive & warm. I hope the traditional kind service continues to prevail for years to come.
