    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

    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.

    Latte's, incredible designs!!

    Fantastic coffee bar located in the lobby of the Queen E hotel! The line moves quickly and Batista's make beautiful foam designs. You can stand at the bar or have a seat in front of their fire pit. I think Krema is a hidden cozy gem, check it out!

    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.

    Krema's latte art game is on point

    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?

    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!

    The location is very convenient for the travelers staying in the the fairmont hotel and really wanted a cup of coffee in that time. After shopping in Marché Artisans, we took a break lounged in the rocking chair and had two coffee. Signature drip coffee was normal but iced Americano was bland as colored water.

    Great coffee, great staff, clean. Food is expensive but very good . Good stop if you're in downtown Montreal. Seating isn't comfortable.

    This is a MUST TRY if you are ever in the Montreal area. I saw this on Instagram and I'm sure lots…read moreof other people did since the place was very busy. Every location I went to was full but the line goes by quickly. This specific location is in old Montreal so if you're doing sightseeing it's a great spot to chill. The cafe crema is insane. The texture and flavor of this is something I've never had before. The coffee flavor is strong but not offensively strong. Even if you're not a fan of coffee I'd still suggest you try it. The affogato was lovely with the espresso and gelato mixing it creates that lovely icy texture on the outside. It is more pricey so I'd say the safe crema is the way to go.

    I stumbled upon this gem around the corner from my hotel under less-than-ideal circumstances--we…read morewere heading out at the crack of dawn for a 13-hour tour to Quebec City, and my hotel's breakfast (promised at 6 AM) was MIA at 6:20. Panic mode. Thankfully, this place saved the day with its warm and inviting ambiance. We grabbed coffees and croissants, and the owner was quick and efficient, getting us sorted in no time. Even at that ungodly hour, there were already two locals and a dog chatting with the patron--always a good sign of a neighborhood favorite. Can't complain at all. I'm in Vieux Montreal for a few more days and will definitely be back.
