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.

A cafe for the coffee aficionado. If you want to talk shop & nerd out on all things coffee, this is the place.
These guys know their stuff & make excellent pour overs & espressos, with a very unique selection of interesting beans & roasts on hand.

Seating is very limited though, so it's pure luck if you'll be able to sit & savour at the counter.

Overrated a bit. Limited coffee beans selection as compared to others. Technique to be evaluated again due to poor extraction. No background music & no decor. Not so comfortable seats. Poor service- Barista was not in a mood to talk about his own coffee I guess.

The espresso & the filter were spot on & delicious. Intimidatingly massive selection of pour overs (they all sounded amazing) with very class roasters & producers. The barista was so warm, knowledgeable, & efficient. The vibes are also really cool & laid back. Best coffee shop I've been to in North America??
