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.

I live in San Francisco.

A friend asked:'where do I get the best coffee'.

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.

We had a fantastic experience here!! Love all the different options they had available for pourover, & they brewed a delicious cup of the wilder lasso gesha. Cool ambience, vibe, & friendly people. We would highly recommend - this & escape lab a cafe were our favorite coffees in MTL.

Café Éclair
This little spot was right across from where I parked, near all the vintage shops I started exploring. It looked tiny-a hole in the wall-but packed with locals, so of course I had to try it. Inside, everyone seemed to know what they were doing, most of them gathered around a big table that looked like they were all doing their homework. I ended up at the only other table with a few strangers, & we all enjoyed our coffee together. This, to me, is what Montreal is all about. Top points for that Montreal vibe.
