Review Summary

Tunnel Espresso Bar blends a warm bookstore vibe with coffee culture, offering a cozy space with books to browse and piano moments that invite listening or even playing; the coffee, especially the bold iced latte with a hint of cane sugar, is praised, and almond cookies are noted as tasty; service is generally friendly though crowds and occasional understaffing can affect the pace, and a few reviews mention hot chocolate and croissants could be warmer; overall the venue is described as beautiful and soothing, a pleasant spot to visit in Montreal.

I'm so disappointed that I spent my hard earned money at this cafe. The chocolatine I got was so dry it can't even be a chocolatine because those are supposed to be buttery & soft & mine was dry & hard. The chai latte I ordered literally tasted like warm milk, nothing else, no hint of chai or spice. Also when I came to order the girl behind the counter told me'I'm on break' & she told the same thing to the man behind me, we looked at each other confused because normally employees would go to some employee room for their break & not stand behind the counter. After one bite of the 5.30$ chocolatine I brought it back to her & she was kind enough to reimburse it to me but I felt too bad to do the same with the 6.90$ chai because she was the one to make it, unlike the chocolatine which I'm assuming wasn't her fault. I would highly appreciate if the manager could do something about this. Either reimburse the warm milk I got or give a credit for a better experience next time because I go to this Indigo store often & would love to have quality drinks there sometimes but everytime I've tried this cafe it's been disappointing spending money there.

Hot chocolate wasn't warm enough & she couldn't make croissant warm either.

Une ambiance chaleureuse. Des livres. Du café. & un piano ❤?
J'ai eu la chance d'écouter un jeu de piano magique, interprété par une femme magnifique 🙏

A bold, well-balanced iced latte gets even smoother & more enjoyable with a hint of cane sugar.

One of the best coffee in Montreal if not the best, place often has a few people playing piano, nonetheless it is often crowded & a bit understaffed

Tunnel Espresso inside Indigo at Place Montreal Trust has become one of my favorite coffee spots! The coffee is fantastic, & the cozy atmosphere, often with gentle piano music in the background, makes it feel extra special. The baristas are always welcoming & attentive, which adds a nice personal touch. Definitely a must-visit for any coffee lover in Montreal!

The flat white was too watery for me, but otherwise the carrot cake was really tasty & the atmosphere was great.
