Located inside The Fairmont Queen Elizabeth, Krema is a must try. They had many parties available which we will be back for, however, we opted for their cafe late. Smooth, creamy, and made to perfection. read more

This place is certainly beautiful, located in the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth, and there is quite a few places to sit, although you won't necessarily find a table. I wish the coffee was as impressive as the ambience - a bit too acid for my taste. The good: places to sit - mostly couch, good prices, large variety of drinks and milk alternatives The not so good: very busy at times (and slow), few tables available, acidic coffee read more

What a cute cafe inside Fairmont hotel lobby! I was so surprised when I saw the price tags. Things are cheaper than Starbucks and taste a lot better too. We got the croissant and chocolate croissant and both are buttery and flaky. I also tried out their soy latte and it was strong and fragrant. I would absolutely come back another morning before I do my sightseeing. read more

Located in the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth, a cozy cafe with plenty of seating. The servers are very friendly and all with thick Montreal accents . I got the Cafe Latte and a plain croissant (they only have plain or chocolate). A creamy good latte and a nothing special croissant. Not a place you go out of your way for but a nice place to stop by on your way to work or if you're a guest of the Fairmont. read more

A hotel lobby coffee shop that actually takes its coffee seriously? What a concept! I'm attending a conference at the Fairmont Reine Elizabeth, which necessarily requires significant caffeine loading. However, this place makes it much more than a utilitarian venture in caffeine delivery. They know their beans, they know their milk-to-foam ratios for different drinks, they have a nice variety of snacks and baked goods for those who want that with their coffee, and they're quick. What's not to like? read more

It's a coffee shop inside the Fairmount Hotel next to Bonaventure, in the heart of downtown. It is really crowded in early morning and I waited for an hour before the crazy lineup stops. I tried their latte and it was REALLY good, and one of the ladies in business attire commented on the superior quality of their coffee, saying that Krema got a reputation of being one of the top cafes of Montreal. I don't know if that is true, but for sure from my experience, I found their coffee great, but I was expecting them to show me their outstanding latte art, since they did a great number of unique designs for clients who took latte, but mine was a bit plain. This café is more designed for the people who stay at the hotel or passers by, not really a good spot to study. The interior decor is really lovely, I love it! read more

After 20 years between visits to Montreal, I brought my son for a quick surprise visit. We stayed at The Fairmont. Waking up early I headed downstairs for a quick cup of coffee and something to eat. The service was prompt & friendly, the coffee was spot-on. Great roast, and freshly made. The Vegetable egg sandwich was one on the best in my well traveled lifetime. The handmade English muffin was warm and delicate, yet held up perfectly to the tomatoes, cheese, eggs and that wonderful surprise sauce,...béchamel?? It was out of this world. I wanted another just as I finished. I'll be back very soon. read more

It can get busy and the lines form out the door, but the pastries and coffee are worth it. We ordered the chocolate and pistachio filled croissants and donuts. I would rate both chocolate and pistachio filled croissants a 9/10 and the donut versions of each a 7/10. I felt the croissants tasted better and had more filling. We ordered the Remix which is authentic freddo expresso, cafe crema soft serve and topped off with hot frothed milk and chocolate. This was a 10/10 and was every bit of amazing as it looks in the picture. Service was fast and friendly. One note, they don't have flavored coffees, so I couldn't order a caramel latte, for example. Overall, great coffee shop that we enjoyed every day during our stay.
