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.

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.
