The Coffee Snob

The Coffee Snob Everything you never knew about coffee A place for coffee lovers, caffeine addicts and café snobs.

Anything and everything to do with coffee, from how to make different kinds of coffee to café reviews and history of coffee*. This page is unabashedly critical of major coffee chains encroaching on the traditional, local, charming hole-in-the-wall and "mom & pop" cafés, especially in cities with an already existing centuries old café tradition. While this page is mostly English, we post any interesting coffee related article in French, German and Hungarian.

Delightful espresso in Rosemont right near the Jean-Talon market. Also a dépanneur sells great coffee blends, and a great place to grab a quick brunch, sandwich etc. More places like this and no Dunkin Donuts please!

In the great café wasteland of the West Island of Montreal, nestled among the Starbucks and Tim Hortons, an oasis of Italian caffè. Also, a shout out to Tazza di Mattina café machine repair shop in Roxboro. They sell great Italians coffee beans too.

Very cute and cosy cafe on the Plateau on the iconic rue St-Denis, with large windows I’ve passed by many times.
