Cute place. But chai latte & coffee were very tasteless. Very watery. & not hot enough. Very disappointing tbh. & when I ask very nicely if he can make my chai latte a bit stronger (because it was literally tasting like nothing…. just warm milk) he added a little splash on chai in my cup by telling me that normally this is the measurement used & no more…etc etc. Was said in a way that i should have been veryyyyy grateful he added a table spoon more…

Won't go back.

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.

This is the spot for quiet chats, slow delicious coffee, & intimate experiences with the baristas. It's the spot I repeatedly recommend to friends & family. Came here after a funeral on my first visit: Jair, the head barista, thoughtfully & patiently prepared me & my partner several coffees. The comfort & ease of his work & presence was so welcoming at that time. I've been coming back since for the past 3 years & have always had gentle, attentioned service from all staff members. If you are looking for a quick in'n'out drink, this is not quite the place for that nor is it the philosophy of the café, but if you are looking for a pause, an escape, & an intimate conversation around coffee, it's worth the wait 100% Remember that those serving us coffee are doing the best that they can do & when we as clients allow the patience for good service & drink, we find ourselves returning again & again until the café becomes our second home.

Love the vibe of this place, & the barista has great taste in music. Good espressos here too.

LOVE the layout & decor - the place is small but unique.

Only drawback is lack of decaf. (Yeah I am one of those people that asks for decaf 🥴) But barista offered helpful alternatives & suggestions on which coffees has less caffeine as well as herbal teas.

Also the vibe of this place was amazing —barista was a good mix of attentive & laidback to let people have their own space.

Have to just say again, the decor is amazing. From the window / couch in front, to the counter, to the little nook in the back w a screen — My bet is it the owner has background in interior design, or got a smoking cool company to do this space.
