Dispatch on St. Zotique is one of my favourite third-wave cafe discoveries in Montreal.
Located a little out of the way in Parc-Ex near Alexandraplatz bar, Dispatch is tucked-away right next to Restaurant Manitoba. Their baristas are really excellent and made me probably the most 'perfect' latte I have seen in Montreal, A+. Another glowing star for Dispatch is that they roast their own beans and like Micro-Torrefacteur St. Henri you can actually see the machinery adjacent to the cafe space. They sell bags for $14.50 and $18.00 for 250g and 350g, respectively.
The decor is minimal, monochrome, and one of the few spaces in Montreal with a concrete floor. Old battered wood floors are hard to escape in Montreal and it's really refreshing to see Dispatch take design as seriously as their coffee. Also, they have very nice handmade ceramic mugs, vaguely Japanese and a little Monocle.
The only minor problem with Dispatch is that there isn't a ton of seating (maybe 5 bar seats and 8-10 seats elsewhere). They do have patio seating, though, which was lovely on a warm day. Overall, highly recommended.
