About Café Pista
Café Pista began in 2014 as a pedal-powered bicycle coffee service and has grown into a roaster with three Montréal cafés. Its story is rooted in Montreal's love of cycling and good coffee.
It suits cyclists looking for a coffee stop, neighbours who want a friendly local café, and anyone who likes buying beans from a roaster with a story. Stop in during a bike ride, and take home a bag for the week. A bag also makes an easy gift for a coffee-loving friend. It is a small roaster that grew from a bike on the island of Montreal.
