The Montreal Café scene

Pikolo Espresso Bar - Café Myraide - Café Santropol - Olive + Gourmando

Pikolo Espresso Bar 

3418 B Ave. du Parc - The McGill Ghetto

They drip the tea and must use real vanilla. Best tea latté I've ever had. 

Drink of Choice: Low fat London Fog

Café Myriade 

1432 Rue Mckay - Ste. Catherine

Hands down the most delicious café latté I've ever had the pleasure of drinking

Drink of Choice: Soya Café Latté

Café Santropol 

3990 St. Urbain - The Plateau, mile end

The best healthy packed sandwich I've had in Montreal with a beautiful backyard terrace

Routine Meal: The Sweet Root Sandwich (vegan option) with added cucumbers. 

Drink of Choice: Black current tea (they always have a little strawberry or fruit goody in your tea cup)

Olive + Gourmando 

351 St. Paul West - The Old Port

This famous café is always booming and their sandwiches should be enjoyed on numerous occasions

The sandwiches change here so I would recommend always going for a hot sandwich. In my opinion they are even better than the cold sandwiches. They have soup de jour as well. 

Le Couteau/ The Knife

4627 Rue Saint-Denis

Montreal, QC, H2J 2L4, Canada

After coming across a post on Kinfolk about Le Couteau I journeyed over to discover for myself if the café lived up to it's review.  I was a little worried that I would have to order in french seeing it was past mile end but fortunately after I attempted to order a "Café latté avec soy" the cashier laughed and conversed with me in english as though it were easier for him too (phewf) I waited for my soy latté while chatting with the lovely employees and nearly fell over when I took the first sip. The latté was by far the best one I had ever had and I highly encourage you to devote an afternoon to taking a stroll through the plateau and ending up at the fantastic new café. 

Drink of Choice: soy latté
