This probably turned into one of my favorite cafés in Montréal. It's such a treat to get coffee from Micro Espresso, & I love picking up a bag of their coffee beans to enjoy it at home. The service is always super friendly, & I'm already thinking about the next time I go back.

The espresso in my cortado was perfect, not too bitter not too sour. Immediately bought a bag of beans to take home.

Maybe not as super-high of a review as some of the others here. I tend to buy pretty high quality beans for my pour-over & I have been doing it for some time now. I felt the pour-over here was pretty lackluster to say the least. It took an inordinate amount of time, which never helps the taste profile. I know'espresso' is in the name of the shop, & the pour-over concept is sort of newer north of the border. Just 2 years ago I couldn't find a pour-over anywhere between Montreal & Tremblant. So this is a good step.

As mentioned, the service for the cup was slow. 2 people behind the counter were nice enough; the girl more than the guy. He made the cup & it just took a while.

The chocolate pastry we got was excellent.

Atmosphere was very nice, but small inside. There are a few spots at the counter but generally this is a takeaway shop. I do enjoy sitting & tasting the coffee. But that wasn't in the cards for this trip so we brought it with us.

Next time I'll try the espresso to see if it hits better.

A cute little coffee shop hidden in a corner of Old Port. It's mostly for takeout but they do have a tiny seating area. Great coffee served by friendly & skilled baristas! I always go for an iced latte which is definitely one of the best I've ever had in Montreal. Also LOVE their small batch roasted beans for espresso & cold brew.

Update: still my fav place 2 years later!

I wouldn't go as far as to say I'm a coffee fanatic, but as a batista myself, I consume an obscene amount of coffee & this has been one of the best coffee I have ever had. The seamless blend of bean, milk, & syrup was perfection. I was sad when I drank it all. I also had a sesame miso cookie(?) on a whim & gosh, I should have gotten another 2. Thank you for a great cup of coffee. The platinum blond batista was so friendly.
