About Kittel
Kittel is a coffee roaster and café in Hochelaga, in Montréal's east end, founded in 2011. It is named after its founder, Guillaume Kittel-Ouimet, and roasts its own beans for the café and for home brewers. The focus is on carefully sourced coffee served in a relaxed neighbourhood setting.
Kittel suits coffee lovers who like to know where their beans come from, and anyone exploring Hochelaga's growing food scene. Pick up a bag of beans to brew at home, or stop for an espresso on a walk through the neighbourhood. A bag of local coffee also makes a simple, welcome gift.
