Review Summary

Café Éclair is widely regarded as a premier destination for coffee enthusiasts in Montreal, praised for its exceptional pour over menu, expert bean selection, and highly skilled baristas who prioritize quality and craftsmanship. The atmosphere is frequently described as cozy, trendy, and communal, with a unique central seating arrangement that fosters a social environment, though some visitors find the space small, busy, or occasionally lacking in comfort. While the vast majority of feedback highlights the professional service and top-tier espresso, cortados, and matcha lattes, a small minority of patrons have reported inconsistent experiences regarding wait times, seating availability, or specific service interactions. Overall, the establishment is celebrated for its commitment to the specialty coffee experience, making it a must-visit spot for those who appreciate a thoughtfully prepared cup of coffee in a vibrant setting.

No dogs automatically low stars for me. More importantly for other people- not well organized tables & uncomfortable rude vibes from staff. Surprised given high rating

Edit after reply - I have checked the law even before coming here & for coffee shops / primarily drinks places, allowing small pets is at owner's discretion in the province; I've spent many afternoons in coffee shops around. & yes the interaction felt very jarring regardless.

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.

Great single origin espresso. Nice aesthetic. Usually quite busy with people working on laptop so expect to take it to go. The coffee shop culture appears to be politically Marxist/socialist.

Exceptional coffee really well made. If you are a coffee nerd, you will love Café Éclair. I wouldn't recommend if you are in a rush & want a take out coffee. They do offer take out but they take the time to properly make it. They also have a few cookies, croissants & juices. It's small, cozy & definitely trendy.
