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.
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).
Nice little Eatery with great Coffee & breakfast experience. Staff is very courteous & atmosphere is very open & friendly. Definitely a good place to stop before you hop.
This cafe is great for people that finish the study in the Concordia University, office workers or just want to relax at the cafe. Even though it's located in the middle of the downtown & besides the Concordia University, but the coffee quality is good. The Latte is good & taste not burn. I tried their pastry sometimes, it's okay, but i would i would say it's better than the big chain cafe that sells pastries too. In the winter, this place will get smaller & less seats available, but in summer, there's plenty of seats available.
Outstanding coffee, very friendly staff, great pastries, amazing prices, nice space with indoor & outdoor seating available. It doesn't get much better than this.
5/23/17 - Damn good soy double mocha & raspberry pistachio financier. Would definitely go back to this charming little cafe for pastry & espresso drink. Update 4/7/24 - I had been eagerly looking forward to revisiting this place post COVID, now the vegan oat latte is basically just hot burnt water, The lack of menu is also a little challenging to explore offerings, Even if the offerings are pretty standard. Good non-dairy milk options, the drink itself just wasn't good.
