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.

If there exists a better coffee shop in Montreal, with smoother steamed milk & more dynamic & expertly roasted beans, then surely it is on some other plane of existence - accessible only through absolute divine transcendence. For a mere approximation of that, a sip of the sublime - there's Café Éclair.

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.

Amazing coffee. We'll curated, definitely underrated. The shop owners & workers here are sincerely nice & they all compete in coffee in some way. I visited here twice on my visit to Montreal but wish I had come earlier to be able to visit every day.

I had some of the best coffee of my life here as a pour over & as a oat latte. It was full of fruit (strawberry) flavor that I rarely find in coffee shops (& I've had specialty coffee beans from all around the world). Of course the flavor depends on what they sourced at the time I visited, but no doubt they know how to brew a fine cup of coffee. Worth a visit or more.

Disons juste que je viens de trouver mon nouveau café préféré dans ce coin. Les deux baristas avec qui j'ai parlé étaient très agréable & les cortados (oui j'en ai pris deux!) étaient peut-être les meilleurs que j'ai jamais bu. Je serai de retour!

As far as I know, the only coffee of its kind in Montreal. Coffees from internationally renowned roasters, the pour over card is akin to the likes of Subtext in Toronto, the staff is very friendly, & there is Gesha on the menu.

This is what 3rd wave specialty coffee is about.

Got myself a top shelf sidra, one gesha & something less fancy but still worthy a typica.

One of a kind spot in the country.
