We came up to Montreal for the weekend & this place was right next to the airbnb. You can tell it's a pillar of the neighborhood! The staff knew all the regulars & the vibe inside was great! Of the 4 days we were in the city, we went to the caffè for 3 of them! The coffee is delicious & the croissants are flakey!

Great place for late night coffee. We went for a regular Coffee, Doppio & a Canoli. Later on, we also ordered a Hot Chocolate. The beverages were great. Strongest Americano I've ever had - almost an Espresso. Doppio was great. Loved the Hot Chocolate. Canoli was okay. The ambiance is great. Many seating options depending on whether you're alone, with friends, with spouse/gf or a big family. The walls have Italy all over which gives you a great vibe. Only one gentleman handling the entire place, from making beverages to serving at the table. Nice chap. Parking can be a bit challenging as there's street parking which can be full. We had to make two rounds around the block before we could find something. Definitely recommended.

C'est une ambiance unique, on a vraiment l'impression d'être dans un café de village au bout de l'Italie. C'est un endroit surtout fréquenté par des habitués qui bavardent pendant des heures en savourant leur café. À ce sujet, mon café noir était excellent & le panneton aussi.

One of the best places to get late night coffee in Montreal. Like having a cappucino in Italy, same atmosphere. Kind service, nice little dessert snacks, please do not ever close. Places like these restore my faith in humanity & provide me comfort. A true oasis that is a part of Montreal's cultural history.
