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.

A perfect fall day, enjoying a ristretto and a treat at a cafe that opened where a health food store used to be, kitty corner from my former apparement in Montreal. Their terrasse is basically 2 tables and 4 chairs on the wide sidewalk, just like in many European cities. This place caters too. Big sunny windows inside, while will be a lovely sunny refuge when winter comes.

At Côte Cafe, which opened at the location of a flower shop with the distinctive orange roof that had been there for many decades. A lovely cafe with a nice view of the historic Notre Dame hospital and the graffiti art Montreal is famous for.

Delightful Italian caffè bar downtown Montreal on Stanley street, just up the street from a Tim Hortons. Long line but advances quickly. Music a little loud inside but there is a terrace outside. It’s been here for 5 years now but this coffee snob only discovered it today. Support local cafes people!

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!
