Overall, Éclair is praised for its exceptional coffee and a wide, carefully curated pour over menu, with baristas who are knowledgeable and friendly, and a welcoming, social vibe around a long central bar that invites sharing; the experience often includes sensory touches like smelling the beans and tasting before serving, and many reviewers rate it among the best specialty coffee spots in Montreal, though visits can be busy with longer waits, pastries can be limited or pricey, and a few drinks may vary in balance.
Good spot to enjoy a coffee & spend some time. The pour over here is incredibly fragrant. Barista carefully explained the different flavors of beans Also love the decor, especially the open central island
Ces petites pépites font toujours une grande différence dans une journée ! Service appliqué & impeccable, café extraordinaire, je ne peux que recommander de passer un moment dans ce lieu & de juste profiter de ce qui s'y passe ! Merci pour l'expérience ;)
Cozy spot in the Mile End neighbourhood of Montréal. The layout has a bit of a bar/lounge vibe. They serve pour over/V60 coffee, which is becoming increasingly rare in Montréal. The staff were friendly & helpful.
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.

Really good coffee. Had an oat latte & came back later the same day for an americano. So good I bought the beans. & I’ve been to a lot of coffee shops!
Ambiance tamisée, légèrement froide avec un style minimaliste. Le café n’est pas mauvais, mais a un goût légèrement fade. Je reverrais les recettes pour le V60 & peut-être même pour l’espresso, ça goûte le café sous-extracté.
