Review Summary

Café Éclair is widely regarded as a premier destination for coffee enthusiasts in Montreal, offering an exceptional and expansive menu of pour overs, espressos, and high quality lattes that showcase unique beans from top tier roasters. The atmosphere is frequently described as cozy, trendy, and communal, centered around a signature bar that encourages social interaction among customers and allows for an immersive, transparent look at the baristas, who are consistently praised for their professional expertise, kindness, and passion. While some patrons note that the seating is limited, the shop is often busy, and the meticulous preparation of each drink means that visitors should expect a slower, more deliberate experience rather than a quick grab and go service. Despite minor critiques regarding limited space or specific personal preferences, the overall consensus highlights a standout, authentic third wave coffee experience that remains a top recommendation for anyone seeking high caliber brews in a warm, inviting setting.

If there exists a better coffee shop in Montreal, with smoother steamed milk & more dynamic & expertly roasted beans, then surely it is on some other plane of existence - accessible only through absolute divine transcendence. For a mere approximation of that, a sip of the sublime - there's Café Éclair.

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!

Have been visiting Eclair for years whenever in Montreal. They have an exceptional approach to coffee, sourcing some of the best beans in the world & preparing beverages with uncompromising attention to detail. All of the staff I've interacted with are knowledgeable & passionate about their work. The cafe itself is beautiful, clad in green & white, & stocking an eclectic mix of books which decorate the walls. Highly recommended, one of my favourite cafés.
