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.
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.

The place is small but it was packed. We visited on a Sunday at 10 am & unfortunately they already sold out of the chocolate croissant. We managed to get the last piece of the cheese croissants & it was delicious & fresh. Vanilla latte was really good.
