About Café Myriade

Café Myriade is a specialty coffee pioneer that opened on Mackay Street in downtown Montreal in 2008. It has since grown into a handful of cafés, known for carefully prepared espresso and filter coffee.

It suits students and office workers downtown, and coffee fans who want a cup made with attention. The original Mackay Street café is close to Concordia University, a handy stop between classes or meetings. Ask the baristas about the current coffees, and pick up beans if one stands out. It helped shape Montreal's specialty coffee scene and remains rooted on the island.
