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.

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 😃😃

sat down at the counter & was ignored for 10 minutes, left without service. Very odd. Even if it was self serve, the two women working in there couldn't have greeted us to tell us that. Lame.

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.
