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.
Ordered a coffee & they gave me one in dirty cup. When asked to pour in fresh cup, they didn't apologize but the girl said it must be coffee stains but sure I'll pour you another, then pour me a fresh coffee in a smaller cup
I come here everyday I really enjoy the coffee & the pastries (orange scone & almond croissants) they have the best croissants I tried in Montreal & the best Coffee. I enjoy sitting in the terasse every morning but I'm seriously finding it hard to keep coming because of the urine smell in the terasse. It's not pleasant to have a bite of croissant trying to savour it but smelling piss at the same time.
If I lived in Montreal this would probably be my go to coffee place after trying 7-9 others. Coffee is really good for on the go, great for the price. However, it's a really busy spot with not much room to sit. Recommend to go
First of all the ☕️ here was great & so were the lovely croissants 🥐. Place is cute but a bit small, wish there was more space. Also felt the air conditioner not working inside. In the service it was ok. Though I found the staff was not courteous; as they were making fun when I spilled some hot coffee (filled up to the brim) & then asked them to replace it with a disposable cup. Hope they try to improve on this 🙏.
Je tiens à remercier de tout coeur l'équipe du Myriade McKay en ce dimanche PM. Je me suis brulée en renversant mon américano & l'équipe fut extra en me fournissant du gel Aloe Vera & des compresses de froid, un grand merci pour votre soin. 🩷
We have been going to this branch for many years now, & I can say that they have the best coffee in town. It is always of the same high quality & consistency. I have tried the other locations, but honestly, they are not the same as this one. If you love specialty coffee, I highly recommend this place.
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.
Consistently fast service, great coffee, excellent pastries from Hof Kelsten, & a nice terrasse. They always have fresh, hot filter coffee (you'll never have to wait for them to make a new pot--I don't know a single other cafe in Montreal that can guarantee this).
