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.

Didn't expect the matcha latte to be *that* good. The whole place feels so cozy too ✨

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.

This place is so freaking hipster holy shit, there is quite literally a single long island counter top where the baristas are on one end cranking matchas, & the customers are on the other side like a bar. Although, tbh, you'd have a tough time distinguishing who works there & who's the clientele ;)

Speaking of matchas though, seriously one of the best I've ever had 😃😃

I did not know this was a serious coffee shop for real coffee drinkers. It was cold, I wanted something warm, & this cafe was across the street. I have learned words I did not know existed

But, I am pleasantly surprised!
Very cool place. I'm a little too socially anxious for a wrap around bar in a cafe, but I have never seen the concept before, & I thought it was pretty interesting

Chai latte was nice & spicy how I like it, without being overpowering. I got mine with some simple syrup (I'm a fake coffee drinker sorry y'all) & it was tasty. One of the best I've had if I'm being honest (they're pretty much all I order… I've had many). So I decided to try their matcha & it was actually good??! I say this with shock bc I usually find that matcha tastes like grass… this one was yummy though. I'm beginning to understand the matcha hype.

Staff are kind people too. It seems like they actually like their job, which says something about management. Customer service is stressful! They clearly knew a lot about coffee. I heard them using several very important serious sounding words. The coffee people nodded sagely. Be sure to arrive early if you want a pastry!

Ordered 2 ice matcha lattes for almost 15$. We could barely taste the matcha, the drinks were bland & tasteless (which we were expecting when we saw how pale the lattes where, not vibrant green). Disappointing & overpriced.
