The amazing coffee shop on wheels!
Issan Z.

Fantastic coffee and even more fantastic coffee-bike!! Café Pista was present at the festival Mode et Design and showed off their clever (and environmentally friendly!) coffee shop on wheels. The barista simply used a pedal or some sort of handle to produce mechanical energy, and then electricity for the coffee machine to work. Super cool!!

The food here is really earthy and rich in flavor. We had to order 3 meals because it's too hard to pick on one meal per person. We came 2 times too. Arrive early because a line forms on the weekends. We love the bagel gravlax- the salmon is cured in salt as opposed to the traditional Smokey flavor NY has. We also loves the Tartine Ricotta- fresh ricotta with nuts and earthy berries. We highly recommend. Enjoy!

Chai latte

I came here to study an afternoon with my brother. I had their chai latte and really loved the little design they did on my cup. The personnel is very friendly, big smile and welcoming! I enjoyed the design of the coffeeshop, it was cozy. I also had their meal of the day, and it was super tasty !! I really liked the setting of the coffee and the two big tables. I also saw that the personnel helps people to find a place, and will ask customers to move their belongings if they are taking too much place on a table for example. Location is very convenient, easily accessible by bus, metro and car (street parking was easy to find). Noise level was perfect to work too.

This place is beautiful, as all the other reviewers said. The coffee is amazing, smokey, a bit sour, and deliciously succulent. I had a very good cappuccino, and linger a bit longer than I should, to write. The sitting area internet was fast, and the seating area had a good amount of computer plugs. Would return to work and enjoy a coffee with friends :).

Came here to find a nice place to work a bit before a practice in the afternoon. First impressions: the outside was super cute, painted a light turquoise (my favourite colour!) - when I walked in, the space was a lot bigger than I expected, and it was quite busy for a Monday afternoon. There were both people chatting and working, and I don't remember exactly what music was playing, but it was relaxing and good for studying. I think it may have been jazz? There was great natural lighting near the front of the cafe, and there was an entire back section/room with small tables. After ordering an americano, I picked a bar stool facing the window and got work. Maybe it was the coffee, or maybe it was the atmosphere, but I got a lot of work done. Super enjoyable afternoon here!

Croissant dej et tartine d'avocat
Jane L.

I went here with my friend for brunch, and the cafe is adorable. She got the croissant dej sandwich and I ordered the tartine avocat with a poached egg. My tartine wasn't spectacular, but it was good! What I really like about this place is the atmosphere - it's not too noisy, has no wait and it serves great coffee. There is also a cute separate study/workspace that I suggest checking out.

Cute cafe with lots of drink options & bites. I had the chai latte with almond milk and the ovo toast which was scrumptious. The cafe is really pretty and clean, near the metro which is always a plus. Highly recommend

This café is always crowded, from early morning to late afternoon, and super super hyped! It's next to Beaubien station, The extremity of the vibrant Mile End, and Cafe Pista is located inside a stylish house on Beaubien street. Several façades of the café are made of panoramic glass, so it offers a great amount of light inside. The tables inside the cafe are really close to each other, but even then, it's hard to find a spot to sit since it's so busy. Their coffee is good and really well known too, along with their very cute avocado toast made with colourful ingredients. I like the tasteful decoration inside the cafe and the beautiful plants that adorn the space, but my biggest complaint is the lack of space, which discourages me to go there, even during the week.

Croissant dej

I went there to study with a friend. The decor is cite anhas a nice and cozy atmosphere and nice lighting. The noise level is lioe background buzz, not too loud nor distracting. The shop isn't too busy around noon, but in the afternoon it suddenly gets full. The food is aesthetic and delicious. I got the croissant dej while my friend got the grilled cheese. We both got a flat white, but with different beans. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Enjoying our chai latte
Shazia K.

A cute little cafe with excellent service. Unfortunately, my friend and I showed up past 3pm and the kitchen was closed. So we grabbed a seat by the windows and enjoyed a really good cup of chai latte. The cafe itself is quite tiny but cozy. Many people on their laptops studying so we kept our voices down but it was an enjoyable experience nonetheless. Definitely going back to try some food next time.

Cortado
Marina C.

Avocado tartine is delicious. Add cortado to it, and here is the perfect way to start your day! Enjoy!

Delicious coffee, teas, and breakfast. Came most days while visiting Montreal for either a coffee pit-stop or sit-down coffee and breakfast.

Quaint little family run place. They have lots of unique lattes, but they are not sweet at all so…read moreif you like that make sure you specify. My friend had the marshmallow latte expecting it to be sugary but it wasn't sweet at all. I had the matcha and added vanilla, but it also wasn't sweet. I didn't mind that as much but my friend didn't like the latte.

We arrived in Montreal on a red eye and after dropping off our luggage, we headed over to the Mile…read moreEnd area to check out some local clothing shops, but not before stopping to caffeinate because who really sleeps well on a red eye flight? Just a few minutes walk from the Laurier station on the Orange line metro, we found this really cute cafe and although it's located on quite a busy street, just down the stairs basically beneath the street level, you'll be in this quaint, quiet retreat from the chaos that is just a few steps above you. The staff were so warm and welcoming and the iced latte was one of the best I had during our entire trip. My wife's matcha latte was also pretty good. Although we stuck with quite basic drinks, they also feature a number of really creative drinks as well if you're in the mood to experiment. This cafe is cozy and not only is it a great place for both espresso and matcha-based drinks, it's a great place to relax and catch up with friends or research your next move if you're visiting like we were. Highly recommended!
