"Cafe Myriade co-owner Anthony Benda was among the first to open a third-wave coffee shop in Montreal, and the rotation of roasters includes Chicago’s Intelligentsia, Dartmouth’s Anchored Coffee, and the local Saint-Henri Micro-Torréfacteur. Clearly something's working; in The Art of Living According to Joe Beef: A Cookbook of Sorts, chefs David McMillan and Frederic Morin say, “Wake up, jump in a cab, and head to Cafe Myriade for breakfast and some of the city’s best coffee.” Loud music and a great mix of people make for an irresistible vibe; it's also centrally located near restaurants, shops, and metro stops in the heart of downtown." - Karin Eldor
