Café Éclair

Café Éclair – Montreal Beautiful café with a great atmosphere. I really liked the central bar and how it encourages people to share the space and enjoy a coffee together. Service was very good, and the coffee itself was solid. A pleasant spot to stop and take in the vibe.

Café Éclair This little spot was right across from where I parked, near all the vintage shops I started exploring. It looked tiny—a hole in the wall—but packed with locals, so of course I had to try it. Inside, everyone seemed to know what they were doing, most of them gathered around a big table that looked like they were all doing their homework. I ended up at the only other table with a few strangers, and we all enjoyed our coffee together. This, to me, is what Montreal is all about. Top points for that Montreal vibe.

A phenomenal coffee place and probably number two in the city in my option (only slightly surpassed by cafe even). The staff is top notch with a tone of coffee knowlege, really friendly, and had lots of recomendations. The layout is unlike most coffee places with a large coffee bar that wraps around itself, leanding itself to easy conversations with either other customers or staff. It is also set up in a way that you can have space to yourself as well without feeling inclined to chat so either way it is nice. The warp around couch is also pretty comfy and would work well with groups. The coffee itself is clean rich and complex. We got a cordato with the recomendation from the staff. It was creamy and hit the spot. Overall a great place for some coffee.

had two geisha pourovers. the owner was super nice, the coffee was great as well. definitely want to visit again!

I live in San Francisco. A friend asked: “where do I get the best coffee”. Montreal. Cafe Eclair. Jair and the team are next to none. Can’t wait to be back.

Best pourover coffee experience I have ever seen. The baristas are very knowledgeable on all the current offerings for beans and are happy to help find a coffee that you will like. I have never seen a place that has you smell the beans & tastes the coffee as qc before serving it to you. This is a full experience - be prepared to wait if it is busy. Actually not overpriced for the experience you are getting, especially compared to a coffee in the states.

Really excellent cafe. Pour over is excellent and they have a really wide selection of coffees. The baristas are also really friendly knowledgeable. Great atmosphere too.

The best coffee in the city. They put quality over everything and take time for each cup. The staff will treat you with respect but not kiss your butt. Entitled people don’t come back so the atmosphere is really good.

The atmosphere is really good it feels really really homely like being in your friend house and drinking coffee in the kitchen counter Also the matcha is just so good, i think that in terms of taste this one is one of my favorites so far. And it's not expensive! It's amazing!

Tiny café with a personable barista, good atmosphere, and a great cold brew on a hot day.

Fantastic latte! Gorgeous hot chocolate. Emphasis is on the coffee. Uses beans from The Barn. How espresso drinks should be made.

A small cafe that you should check out when you are in the area! They have a small but unique book collection for you to check out but be sure to try their coffee. They sell small-lot coffee and have a little description for each type that they are highlighting. The place feel more like a classy minimalist lounge than a cafe.

Adorable cafe on McGuire corner St-Laurent. They have an interesting concept - bookstore/cafe. Kevin made me an excellent iced latte with oat milk and it not only satisfied my coffee needs but also was extremely refreshing on hot day. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Would definitely try them again for a cold or warm latte. Check them out when you're in the area.

I had a lovely tea and short work session. The vibe is different than any of the cafes I've been to in Montreal- there was a sense of anonymity but not unfriendliness. Really lovely.

I've been here a couple of times and it's just to pretentious to enjoy the average coffee.

Came here on a rainy day and got a drip coffee to go. It was very solid. Also loved the interior, which also has a book store component. Felt like a very cozy neighborhood spot.

Café Éclair - Montreal. For coffee this is a good place. Service is slow. The inside is pretty.

Well thought-out neighborhood coffee joint. Neat space arrangement around a central counter, great for concentration or conversation, homey even. I guess it's all about the unusual care that went into the details--and there are many.

Small, but chill café in the mile-end area, with a combined focus on coffee and books. Staff were friendly and certainly a place I'd return to, either for coffee on the go or to sit down and enjoy a book while sipping a latté.
