We visited Jean-Talon Market and this was the first pastry shop we came across. They offered natas…read moreand cannelés--two of my favorites--so we decided to try one of each. Unfortunately, both were disappointing. The nata was overly sweet, and the crust lacked crispness. The cannelé was even more of a letdown; instead of the expected crispy exterior and chewy inside, it was flat in both taste and texture. We didn't try the coffee since we were still drinking matcha latte. The roastery got plenty of coffee beans. I will say the service was pretty quick, and the young man who helped us was friendly. Skip these two pastries as there are plenty of better pâtisserie in Montreal!

We visited Montreal from America and found this cafe while waiting for friends to arrive…read more Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the service and the chai latte, which tasted mostly like milk. Hot matcha latte was decent. Could hardly enjoy my sandwich. The only highlight was the macadamia matcha cookie--it was delicious and the best thing I had all day since it was my first meal.

It was delicious not a sweet as Starbucks and you can actually taste the coffee as well... given that its about the same price i would rather encourage locally. Apparently their food is delicious but unfortunately being celiac I can't have any of it. Will definitely be back whem i want to treat myself again.

Cute little restaurant with decent food and great cocktails…read more We got the tostones rellenos de camarones, the diablo camarones and some steak with yuca fries. They all tastes pretty good but the portions were very small. The place is very cute and nicely decorated on the inside. It's very small and doesn't have many places. Our waitress was nice and friendly and the food came quickly.

I kept seeing this place on my way to Koa Lua and thinking to myself: Oh yeah, I wanted to try…read morethis. And I finally did! I got the Yucca poutine and the chicken tacos. It's really unique. I've never had food like this. The flavours, the presentation, the textures, it all caught me by surprise. I mean sure it's tacos, cuban poutine, and the likes but there's such a unique twist to them that I was enchanted. The portions were a bit small so perfect for a 5a7 or for tapas with friends. It's not really a sit down and have a long dinner kinda place. I didn't have a reservation so I sat at the bar with my boyfriend and it was ok but not the best seat in the house. It gets more hectic at the bar. I didn't order a drink but my boyfriend got a light blonde beer and he said it was good. I highly recommend this place. Such a cool and funky vibe with some great food to share.

A trendy cafe that is worth the hype. Their banana matcha is such a perfect drink. It's sweet but…read morenot too sweet, very delicate, and tastes exactly like banana bread. The earl grey salted matcha is comforting and flavourful (can't taste the salt too much but that's ok). Seating is quite limited so this is a grab and go place for sure.

The Short Version: Caribbean cafe with good coffee served in…read morenovel paper cups that look like takeout containers. The Long Version: Hectare Cafe is located in a mini food hall called Le Coin Gourmand in Old Montreal. I was at One Babo in the same food hall getting a bubble tea and since my husband does not like bubble tea and is a coffee fiend, he popped into Hectare Cafe to get his third coffee of the day (!) He got a small Americano ($4). It came in a cool-looking paper cup that looked like a takeout container (see my photo). He enjoyed it and said it was delicious. I had a taste and it was ok, lol, but I'm not a coffee connoisseur and I don't like my coffee black the way he does. He said service was friendly. The food hall is cute. There's indoor seating but it's very small in there. I did spot some Haitian pastries like Pate Kòde which I'd love to try on a future visit. Review #212 (2025)

Located in the building with two other storefronts? Basically it shared the space with what looked like a Pho place and a Crepe/Boba place. We ordered a double espresso and a macchiato shot. Wasn't anything spectacular, didn't expect for it to be but it certainly got the job done. They also have pastries as well. Will be back before our trip ends to try their empanadas!

This place has been in my radar for a while and honestly it disappointed a bit…read more The place itself is a standard cafe, it has seating spots and it's a bit spacious. The location of the cafe while good for the office workers around this area is not really a beautiful or nice spot. The coffee is also good, I ordered a cold brew and it was okay. Not the best nor the worst. The staff was also attentive and they helped me both in English and French.
