Review Summary

Micro Espresso Café is described in reviews as a tiny, cozy, mostly take-out spot in Old Montreal with a minimalist, warm vibe and a serious focus on great coffee; espresso drinks like cappuccino and flat white are repeatedly praised for balance, richness, and smoothness, often alongside pastries such as croissants or turnovers. The space is snug with limited seating, making it ideal for a quick stop rather than lingering, while friendly staff create a welcoming impression and frequently roast their own beans for a fresh, local touch. Several reviews mention excellent value and consistently high quality across beans and roasts, and some celebrate the shop’s aroma and the attention to detail, though a few note a preference for hotter coffee or minor price considerations around non-dairy milks. Overall, Micro Espresso Café emerges as a standout for fast, high-quality coffee and well-made pastries in a small, stylish setting.

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!

Only had coffee here but it was delicious, well made & friendly! Small shop but it worked great for me as I was grabbing coffee on my way to work.

Not once, not twice...but thrice. This was our favourite coffee shop & a frequent stop while visiting Montreal. The espresso was well rounded, smooth & flavourful. The barista's were consistent, with proper technique & skill. A must visit.

Tucked away at a building in the Old City, this coffee shop is small but quaint with a great atmosphere & service. The coffee itself is locally roasted. They have Cold Brew which is always a plus to me! The coffee itself tastes delicious & I highly recommend!

Micro Espresso has a lovely blend of quality & service difficult to find elsewhere in the city. Their coffee was delicious: well-roasted & carefully brewed. Both baristas were friendly & knowledgable. They were experts in their coffee & knew details beyond a regular consumer coffee shop, such as their SCA cup quality, their varietals of coffee, & their harvest dates. I highly recommend going to Micro Espresso for a delicious cup & a nice chat with experts in the field. They might change your mind on whether you love coffee or if it loves you.

Best coffee so far in Canada, even the decaf, & the bar is higher in Quebec. Guy in charge is excellent & the passion for his craft is evident. It is a tiny shop (hence Micro) so best to have a back up plan for take away.
