Montreal’s Most Beautiful Cafés

most beautiful cafés

However it is enjoyed, coffee has a lot of devotees. Did you know that coffee is one of the most consumed drinks in the world? It is grown in more than 70 countries, the two main producers being Brazil and Colombia.

Coffee beans come from the berries of the coffee tree, a shrub native to the rainforest. And in Montreal, places where you can enjoy a good coffee are very popular. Maybe it’s because we’re a bit of a Bohemian city, maybe it’s because having a coffee with friends, family or colleagues is inexpensive and always enjoyable? All we know is that the city of Montreal has hundreds of coffee shops, and many of them are not only very good, but also very beautiful!

The Merriem-Webster dictionary defines beauty as: “the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit”. The cafés chosen for this list of the most beautiful cafés in Montreal have superb spaces. Whether it’s for their breathtakingly authentic architecture, their unpretentious and very Montreal decor, or their unique minimalist details, the cafés on this list are all very “beautiful” and worth discovering.

If you dream of Saturday mornings, sipping on a latte in a beautiful setting, this list is for you!

Happy discoveries !
