Café Éclair - Montreal
Beautiful café with a great atmosphere. I really liked the central bar & how it encourages people to share the space & enjoy a coffee together. Service was very good, & the coffee itself was solid. A pleasant spot to stop & take in the vibe.

Un de mes cafés préférés à Montréal. Leurs cafés figurent clairement dans mon top 3, & le personnel est toujours incroyablement gentil :).
Ça peut sembler tout simple, mais lors de ma dernière visite, j'étais avec mon petit en porte-bébé & je peinais un peu avec mes cafés. La barista est immédiatement venue m'aider à « gérer » tout ça. C'est la première fois qu'on m'offre un soutien aussi attentionné, & c'était tellement apprécié ! J'adore aussi le mur comprenant des livres qu'on peut acheter : une excellente idée.

Really excellent cafe. Pour over is excellent & they have a really wide selection of coffees. The baristas are also really friendly knowledgeable. Great atmosphere too.

I did not know this was a serious coffee shop for real coffee drinkers. It was cold, I wanted something warm, & this cafe was across the street. I have learned words I did not know existed
But, I am pleasantly surprised!
Very cool place. I'm a little too socially anxious for a wrap around bar in a cafe, but I have never seen the concept before, & I thought it was pretty interesting
Chai latte was nice & spicy how I like it, without being overpowering. I got mine with some simple syrup (I'm a fake coffee drinker sorry y'all) & it was tasty. One of the best I've had if I'm being honest (they're pretty much all I order… I've had many). So I decided to try their matcha & it was actually good??! I say this with shock bc I usually find that matcha tastes like grass… this one was yummy though. I'm beginning to understand the matcha hype.
Staff are kind people too. It seems like they actually like their job, which says something about management. Customer service is stressful! They clearly knew a lot about coffee. I heard them using several very important serious sounding words. The coffee people nodded sagely. Be sure to arrive early if you want a pastry!

Great coffee. But they need to ban laptops at the bar. There's no space & it kills the atmosphere.

Ordered 2 ice matcha lattes for almost 15$. We could barely taste the matcha, the drinks were bland & tasteless (which we were expecting when we saw how pale the lattes where, not vibrant green). Disappointing & overpriced.

Disons juste que je viens de trouver mon nouveau café préféré dans ce coin. Les deux baristas avec qui j'ai parlé étaient très agréable & les cortados (oui j'en ai pris deux!) étaient peut-être les meilleurs que j'ai jamais bu. Je serai de retour!

Super nice café. It has a huge bar with seats & also a sofa area - very cool. The latte was flavourful & strong.

Le café & la barista sont extraordinaires. La déco & les bancs verts ont de la classe, l'ambiance est parfaite. Je pense qu'on retournerait plus souvent si il y avait plus d'employés derrière le comptoir.

Der Kaffee hier kann einiges. Die Bohnen von Sey und The Barn sind von höchster Qualität und machen einen Zwischenstopp hier sehr lohnenswert. Die Aufteilung des Cafés (Bereich zum Sitzen/Servicebereich) ist nicht so meins, aber das ist ja Ansichtssache. Der Service war top und das Ambiente sehr entspannt.

10 points for the soundscape. The music is just right. One bar, one couch, fostering a sense of community. A un-je-ne-sais-quoi of juste ce qu'il faut. Validated!

This is the spot for quiet chats, slow delicious coffee, & intimate experiences with the baristas. It's the spot I repeatedly recommend to friends & family. Came here after a funeral on my first visit: Jair, the head barista, thoughtfully & patiently prepared me & my partner several coffees. The comfort & ease of his work & presence was so welcoming at that time. I've been coming back since for the past 3 years & have always had gentle, attentioned service from all staff members. If you are looking for a quick in'n'out drink, this is not quite the place for that nor is it the philosophy of the café, but if you are looking for a pause, an escape, & an intimate conversation around coffee, it's worth the wait 100% Remember that those serving us coffee are doing the best that they can do & when we as clients allow the patience for good service & drink, we find ourselves returning again & again until the café becomes our second home.

One of the best cafes in the city. Always serving super high quality beans from international roasters. Coffee is always dialed to perfection. I really love how the layout is like a bar, it encourages you to make conversation with others. I've had really great experiences here chatting with the staff as well as with other customers. Prices are also very fair considering the cost & quality of the coffees they carry.

Interesting spot. The barista was nice, the coffee was over extracted. I always keep my expectations in check, but the coffee was below that, $4 for drip coffee. I guess one pays for the vibe, which in itself is a hit or miss cause you are part of everyone's conversation. Too cool for me, but service was ok.
