Display Allcoffee(89) cafe(55) barista(20) vibe(15) latte(11) beans(10) shop(9) quality(8) matcha(8) bar(8) espresso(7) selection(7)Overrated a bit. Limited coffee beans selection as compared to others. Technique to be evaluated again due to poor extraction. No background music & no decor. Not so comfortable seats. Poor service- Barista was not in a mood to talk about his own coffee I guess.
The espresso & the filter were spot on & delicious. Intimidatingly massive selection of pour overs (they all sounded amazing) with very class roasters & producers. The barista was so warm, knowledgeable, & efficient. The vibes are also really cool & laid back. Best coffee shop I've been to in North America??
Coffee was excellent. The female barista was very nice. Really good ambiance. Heard excellent reviews of this place & it did not disappoint. Highly recommended in the menu are flat white, cortado & matcha latte.
When they say hidden gem , this is what they mean , extremely professional & passionate barista , coffee is 10/10
This place is so freaking hipster holy shit, there is quite literally a single long island counter top where the baristas are on one end cranking matchas, & the customers are on the other side like a bar. Although, tbh, you'd have a tough time distinguishing who works there & who's the clientele ;)
Speaking of matchas though, seriously one of the best I've ever had 😃😃
Best pourover coffee experience I have ever seen. The baristas are very knowledgeable on all the current offerings for beans & are happy to help find a coffee that you will like. I have never seen a place that has you smell the beans & tastes the coffee as qc before serving it to you. This is a full experience - be prepared to wait if it is busy. Actually not overpriced for the experience you are getting, especially compared to a coffee in the states.
Five clients to take care of, the guy takes my order & says to go sit down (he'll bring the coffee over he says). Waited 20 minutes, looked up from my book, he's sitting at the bar chatting with some girl, I make eye contact with him three times, I don't exist. Is this a self serve café? I don't get it.
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.
