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.
Cute & convenient coffee shop! They served us pretty quickly, but I think they forgot about the first people in our group who ordered & we had to remind them to make the drinks.
Three things: 1. The cappuccino is the closest I've experienced this side of the Atlantic to the real thing in Italy. Perfect balance of taste & texture. 2. The butter croissant is simply divine. 3. Ah but the chocolate donut. In a former life I used to make custard piroskis from 1950s polish recipes. (Long story.) We made donuts from the leftover dough. This donut took me all the way back. Exceptional. Soft & yet substantial, tasty & not too sweet, possibly the best donut I've had in Canada.
J'ai bu le meilleur flat white de Montréal, sans blague. Voici un véritable flat white, comme il se doit. Service courtois, très bons biscuits & autres. Bijou du quartier.

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.
