Espresso Bar 1720 is described as a cozy, welcoming cafe with excellent espresso and a strong pastry selection, especially apricot and pistachio croissants, and a calm vibe that makes it easy to work or chat, with two floors, wifi, and a pleasant outdoor seating area; the residential location keeps it reasonably quiet and not overly crowded, inviting longer visits; the staff are consistently friendly and attentive, and the focus on quality shows in the well made drinks and thoughtful service; while the coffee style is more traditional than the flashy third wave trend, many praise the balanced espresso and the overall experience as a little daily escape to Italy; some comments mention a desire for more sandwich options or slight variation in drinks such as latte art, but the place remains a highly recommended spot to start the day or relax with pastries.
If you're looking for high-quality caffeine & zero human interaction, this is your gold mine. Personally, I'd trade a little less silence for a simple'hello.'
Been somewhat a regular here since they opened. The owner really cares about quality, & it shows in the products. Coffee is more old school unlike the popular third wave coffee shops around Montreal, which makes this place more special, imo. It's also just really good coffee + Croissants are perfect. Since it's in a residential neighborhood where people don't hang much, it's usually not too crowded either, unlike downtown & other popular hype neighborhoods or even Monkland village. It's cozy & cute, overall highly recommend:))

Che dire abbiamo girato in cerca di un vero caffè come si dice con'tre C' e qui l'abbiamo trovato, insieme al cappuccino che dire top........
Peccato che l'abbiamo scoperto quasi alla fine della nostra vacanza
In più le ragazze sono una garanzia, l'anno prossimo se ritornerò sarà la mia 1 tappa
Love stopping in here for coffee & a pastry every time I visit the area. Open early, fresh croissants, nice variety & delicious coffee. Loved the apricot croissant today. Simple & quality!
Excellent espresso & thoughtful service. The espresso was served properly with a side of water & a spoon, arrived hot (clearly a warmed cup), & had rich, balanced flavor without any burnt notes.
Attention to preparation & the small details really shows here. Easily the best espresso I've had in the Queen Mary, Monkland, & Sherbrooke area.
Highly recommended if you care about espresso done right.
Great coffee for espresso lovers. From the same roaster as Mercanti cafe, it is another neighborhood gem. It also has wifi & space on two floors to bring your laptop. Great terrasse too.
Finally, I would like to highlight a specialty on the menu: Bicirin. An absolute must try, not too sweet.
Good vibes. The coffee is excellent, & the croissants were great too. I like the apricot one the best. I like this spot a lot, I just wish they were open later & had more plugs for lap tops. Other than that, great spot! 4.8 on 5
