Caffè Art Java

Their latte is amazing! It’s the perfect blend of bitter and sweet. I don’t think they have their president Kennedy outlet still though.

This place is close to my office and it’s definitely a huuuuge step up from the Starbucks one block away. The food is unfortunately average at best, but the beans are delicious! I almost always get the almond latté and it never disappoints — creamy and delicious! :)

As with most coffee shops here, the coffee is delicious and very reasonably priced. My friend and I ducked over for a break during our visit to the Musee McCord just a block or two away. We had croissants, too — the almond version was decadent and rich, perfect fuel for a day of walking the beautiful streets of Montréal!

It used to b amazing, still is pretty good. Cappuccinos were the best in town but they seem to have redefined the formulations of lattes and cappuccinos since they got taken over by the owners of the other downtown AJ. If you used to like cappuccinos, go for the lattes now. Cappuccinos are much stronger than they used to be.

Been coming here for 6 months since moving back from Australia where the coffee culture is competitive — the coffee here is on par with the best baristas have to offer in Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney — well recommended for lattes and a healthy lunch :-) — service is always with a smile too @-@

I stopped by this place for breakfast earlier today. Good coffee, quick service, and close to my hotel (delta Montréal). The croissant was alright, I was expecting a little more there. A homeless person came in and caused a small scene, which was handled right away. All in all a good experience.

So wonderful we stopped here twice on our vacation. Excellent chai lattes and americanos. Delicious croissants. We weren’t able to get on the free wifi (must be a password), but no big deal. I definitely recommend.

This is our favorite coffee place in Montréal! The coffee is wonderful, I always enjoy their cappuccinos and lattes. Their desserts are a nice treat and the service is amazing!
Great place to go on a Saturday afternoon! Not overly priced for the quality.

The actual coffee is worth 4 stars but the employees push this place over the edge to give it that one extra star.
The coffee here is definitely enjoyable. Take it from a self professed coffee snob, it’s good.
I’ve been popping in regularly for the past 7 years on my occasional trips to Montréal and it still is my favorite coffee spot in the area.
As with any other place, it depends on how good your barista is. And John Bigsby is one of the best. But I’m sure he’ll move on to bigger and better things soon. But this place will almost remain rock solid.

Searching for a perfect cup of Cappuccino is not that easy in Montréal. Maybe I am just too picky but I found the few I have been too either too mild, too frothy, too sour, until I have the cappuccino at Caffe Art Java.
One of the best cup I had.
The vibe though might be a little commercial but the drinks and the latte art is definitely exceed my expectation!
There is also a more quiet room at the back if you want more privacy without listening to the barista talking about their weekend plans.
Free wifi!
I will be back!

While in Montréal in the fall I was making my way to the train but desperately needed a cup of coffee. I popped my head in here, being the first place I saw and it turned out they sell JJ Bean coffee.
JJ Bean is a coffee roaster from Vancouver and I have a total love affair with it. Finding it in Montréal absolutely made my day.
The café itself is quite cute, lots of places to sit and work. Looks like it mostly serves the uni crowd but all in all it was a great find!

Good coffee, good espresso, tastey food. Not too pricey, but expect to pay a little more for the deliciousness. Good environment for working especially when the rush is off. Casual music. For some reason they have a bunch of TVs with the food network on (muted). Never really understood that. Sometimes a line builds up when they are under staffed.

J’ai aime le repas, le café artistique le service ‘l’ambiance , la musique et on peut recevoir le service en français.

My first thought after the first sip of their Latte: I’m not going to Starbucks anymore.
My latte’s ratio of steam/​milk was just perfect, and the barista was hasty and efficient during the preparation and seemed very experienced. The latte was slightly expensive, but definitely not overpriced.
Also had the Tomato and Garlic Soup, which was pretty mediocre, and it was slightly cold. The Milanais Sandwich, on the other hand, was quite tasty and full of flavours.
The interior ambiance is great, and the decors were very nice, good for lunch or to enjoy a cup of coffee.

The staff is very friendly and service was fairly quick despite the line-​up. I stopped in twice for latté and both times I really enjoyed the richness of the coffee. That said, while I know that lattés shouldn’t be served steaming hot, I did find these to be a little too on the cool side for my liking. Also, one of the reasons I stopped in was to get some fabulous art on my latté but sadly, there was none to be had. I had heard that these guys did an amazing job, and I was a little eager to see what they could do — had the camera in hand and everything! I guess I’ll have to give it another go :)
Overall, a good coffee spot, though a bit small.

Had a quick meal here — ham and cheese on a croissant — and it was delicious. Fabulous croissant. Free wifi, great location and all in all, a very nice break.

Loved it :-)
The latte was amazing and I can’t stop thinking about the delicious soup I had that day. The weather was super cold and a warm bowl of soup was just what I needed. Delicious!
I hope to visit this place in the near future :)

Art Java had me at the first sip. Ever since, I have been addicted to their fantastic lattes.
Their foam is rich and dense — It is literally to DIE for!

Avec une note déjà pas mal haute et des avis de gens d’ici et d’ailleurs, j’étais curieuse d’essayer ce café de la chaîné Art Java qui se situe en plein milieu du centre-​ville. J’y suis donc allée pour prendre un latte et travailler pendant quelques heures entre deux réunions.
Le service a été très bien, les prix sont justes et ça tout pris pour que je résiste de prendre un des muffins à la citrouille et aux épices qui étaient encore dans le moule. Je me suis installée à l’arrière sur une chaise confortable avec un plateau de style «tv-​dinner» pour y mettre mon laptop et mon café. J’ai bien aimé l’ambiance et le latte mais je n’ai pas été époustouflée par quoi que ce soit. Tout était bon et correct, rien de plus, rien de moins. Définitivement un bon endroit pour une petite pause dans le centre-​ville.

The latte was so good that I had to dish out my first 5 star for a coffee shop. The latte they serve was truly exceptional… even when I order it iced. (I draw my line for iced latte at about 20 below freezing)
I have no idea where they got a croissant from, but that was incredible as well. It’s hard to imagine this being a chain store.
I’m a huge fan of croissants, and their croissants are well layered with buttery flakes. This can’t be good for my health, but it’s utterly delicious for my taste buds.
This is going to break my starbucks addiction while I’m in montreal.

I was in a hurry and about to board a train but I saw that this place was close and a change from the larger chain coffee shops so I checked it out on the weekend.
The service was friendly and fast. I actually didn’t order a beverage that was prepared there (probably should have!) but I did grab a snack that was made in store and it was great.
It offers lots of space, free Wifi and there are televisions (on mute!) which is something that you don’t often see in cafes.

Latte art is precious — or at least that’s what I realized in most of my café wanderings. My americano was one of the better ones I tasted in Montréal and my lemon poppy seed muffin was moist. I was there just before a lunch rush where the paninis looked fresh and the clientele looked social, if not a bit on the corporate side.
What really gives Art Java bonus points is the ample seating and wi-​fi. For that, I say merci beaucoup!
