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.
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.
Coffee was hot & readily available. Nice little indoor & outdoor seating areas. Spilled coffee on my pants laughing at a joke, which was unfortunate for my pants. Edit: pants cleaned up nicely 👌
Came here because they have gluten free options, but all the gluten free pastries are on the same trays & touching food with gluten :/ lemon ginger honey tea was lovely, the baristas were not very friendly.

Love this spot very cheap for a fancy coffee honestly like my matcha was 3$!🙀🙀🙀🙀 (Im a matcha addict) very bussin the matcha is good quality & the place rlly cute & cozy def 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.
Been getting their filter & I love it! Well priced. Their pastries are also good & reasonably priced - I recommend the cheese croissant. Super friendly staff & cute ambiance.
Hands down the BEST coffee that I've ever had since tasting Ethiopian coffee in Northern Ethiopia - that trip was back in 1997, I've tasted a lot of coffee since then. Je n'aime pas le café de Cafe Myriade, j'adore ça!
