Review Summary

Overall Presse Café gets mixed reviews with good quality coffee that is described as well balanced and reasonably priced, giving a solid caffeine kick for exploring the city. Pastries and sandwiches are frequently praised, including almond croissants, chocolate croissants, breakfast croissants, and a savory salami and ham option, with staff often called amazing and service generally positive. Some notes mention a quiet atmosphere with no music or ambiance, while others flag cleanliness issues and flies near trash that can be bothersome. A number of critics say prices have risen while quality has declined, with items not feeling fresh and tasting like they were stored overnight, and a few express that they would not return. The overall impression is that Presse Café offers strong coffee and a solid food lineup but should address cleanliness, freshness, and price consistency to satisfy a broader range of guests.

Good filter coffee at a reasonable price. Tastes great - not too bitter, not too sour, just well balanced. Perfect caffeine kick to explore the city!

I just had a cookie over there, prices have gone up & quality down. Not fresh, taste like overnight fridge, 5$ without tip. I'll never go again - use to be ok though, maybe something can still be done

Location us excellent next to a church. As other reviewers have said it is very run down inside & an awful place to stay & have a drink, some food. My poor choice in ordering but I made the mistake of choosing a salmon bagel & it was awful. Price was crazy too. Reason for leaving 3 stars & not lower is the coffee- superb. In summary it's great for a take out coffee, definitely don't sit in, & if you must buy food be very cautious.

The interior is a bit run down & not very nice looking but the coffee was amazing so that’s why I’m leaving 4 stars. Honestly the best coffee we found during our trip to Montréal (we tried many places & this one was by far the best).
