Café vraiment excellent, c'est toujours un plaisir d'y passer ! J'adore le concept estival de service à la fenêtre, c'est super convivial & parfait pour les beaux jours. Le café est délicieux, l'endroit a beaucoup de charme, bref un vrai coup de coeur.
Petit bémol cependant : faire payer un supplément pour un lait alternatif en 2025, c'est un peu aberrant… Dommage de ne pas inclure ça dans le prix ou au moins d'offrir une option sans frais.
~~ Merci pour votre réponse, mais je me pose la question est-ce que les laits alternatifs coûtent plus cher aux cafés ?
Oui… mais pas tant que ça.
• Coût à l'achat : Les laits végétaux (avoine, amande, soya, etc.) sont légèrement plus chers à l'achat en gros que le lait de vache, surtout les versions barista.
• Exemple approximatif en gros :
• Lait de vache : ~1,20 $ le litre
• Lait d'avoine barista : ~2,00 $ le litre
• Mais un cappuccino utilise environ 200 ml de lait, donc la différence de coût est de 15-20 cents max par boisson.
Alors pourquoi faire payer 75 cents ou 1 $ ?
Là, ça devient plus commercial qu'autre chose :
• Certains cafés disent que c'est pour compenser la demande spécifique & éviter le gaspillage (ex. : un lait d'amande que peu de clients choisissent risque d'être jeté).
• D'autres en profitent parce que c'est devenu la norme dans l'industrie, donc ils surfent sur cette habitude pour augmenter leurs marges.
C'est abusé ?
Objectivement, oui : faire payer presque 1 $ pour un supplément qui vous coûte à peine 20 cents, c'est un bon coup marketing… mais un peu mesquin. D'autant plus que pour certaines personnes, ce n'est pas un choix mais une intolérance ou un mode de vie éthique (végans, intolérants au lactose, etc.).View more

I used to love this place but apparently asking for a real hot coffee seems an impossible task for them. They were able to do that twice, so I know the machine is able to do it, but I need to find myself at least 7 times with a barely warm coffee & decide to take it without making a complain. On my last visit I did tell the barista that I did request it hot & he gave me such a bad attitude that I decided it was the last time. I don't know what's wrong with asking to have a hot coffee & on top, to have a guy make me feel bad about explaining what I asked for.View more

Lovely little place! Came in right near closing (apologetically!) but barista didn't appear upset which I appreciated. Tried their flat white with vanilla to sweeten. Beautifully full-bodied decaf espresso flavour with almost no acidity. Lovely cup! Very reasonable price as well.View more

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.View more

Just happened upon this little treasure of a cafe as we were making way by foot to the Japanese Festival (side note: underwhelming & disappointing). How cool is it that there's a order window outside.. it was an ideal set-up for a busy mom with her child out for a morning stroll. The space is welcoming albeit tiny (in a good way) & the baristas worked in relaxed, fluid unison. My friends ordered coffee & tea respectively as well as some pastries. I'm off caffeine atm. & was just taking in the atmosphere & the one barista without any prompting on my part asked me if I would like some water! That small touch of mindful customer service pays huge dividends in my mind which is largely why I write this review! In this day & age I have had plenty of negative customer service encounters so it's reassuring to know it's still out there. & I've got to say the more I visit Montréal good friendly customer service is par for the course say compared to say The Berkshires. Thanks for the fantastic service guys!View more

ive been to soooo many cafes in montreal looking for the best moka & im always disappointed. I experienced a ratatouille moment when I tasted the iced moka. I literally reached paradise. Its so creamy, it has the perfect amount of chocolate & the coffee tastes like that one time when i was in colombia & the barista roasted the coffee right in front of me...very fresh!! 10/10 i would recommend this place to anyoneView more

Friendly barista & decent espresso. But the place is tiny, & there is no way you can sit down & enjoy your purchase.View more

Beautiful coffee. Best espresso I've had in Montreal by far. The barista was kind & talented. I was served a perfectly executed & nicely roasted Colombian espresso. Lovely, only wish I had found this spot sooner.View more

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.View more
