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.

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.

Cappuccino was high quality & the ambiance of the cafe was pleasant- the seating is cozy. Will return to try the coffee beans.

Coffee was balanced, with a dense mouth feel, straightforward & very classical. Well executed. However, the lack of more & more complex options (sometimes they have two offerings but not when I visited) does not make them qualify as specialty in my opinion. Also, when I visited they were offering a Brazilian coffee roasted in Berlin... Tbh It is already bad enough the unavaodable: to have coffee traveling once around the world. Doing a double loop sounds a little bit too much.

Clearly the best cafe in town. Such passion & knowledge of coffee! I never drank coffee. & since trying theirs & Sebastian's expertise, I'm converted. &, it feels communal, like a little trip to South America, which is a wonderful extra 😍

One of the best speciality coffee in town. The coffee was super good. The cafe is small but decorated beautifully. Not much choices for the pastry.
