Caffè Art Java

I admit I was excited to come here based on reviews, but it was nice. Baristas dressed up our lattes with hearts, and the atmosphere was great. We came on a weekend morning, and many people were enjoying breakfast and coffees. It was full – which says a lot about a place.
The lattes were actually very good, and we loved the café itself. The brick walls, the chalkboard, photos of dogs and customers and all sorts of quirky randomness that made a place cozy. Everyone was satisfied with their drink. I even brought home a few souvenirs that said Caffe Art Java.
It WAS worth the trip!

There’s something to be said about seeing, Vancouver based JJ Bean coffee sold in Montréal.
First off, a sense of home for me. It brought an unexpected smile to my face. Second, it’s a good brew — even in francophonia. This just tells me that Montréal craves good coffee from all over.
We came into this place to use Le washroom. I was positively giddy at not feeling awkward to just walk in and do that first. Usually I would buy a coffee so it did not look like that was my ulterior motive. The place offers an incredibly chill environment for its modern, dark interior feel. I feel the low lighting caters to all the laptops utilizing the wi-​fi. (I would do it, too but I feel I must have a macbook to blend in).
If I lived in that area of Montréal, I could see myself as a frequent visitor.
A note before closing. When popping in for your brew, do take a look at the local art on the walls.

Habituellement, je trouve que les cafés qui proviennent de chaînes se ressemblent beaucoup, mais j’ai été agréablement surprise par celui-​ci. À deux pas de l’UQAM et du quartier des spectacles, c’est l’endroit idéal pour un café, un lunch ou même une bonne bière froide. Il y a beaucoup, beaucoup, beaucoup d’endroits pour s’asseoir, et pour tous les types de derrières en plus (chaises ordinaires, banquettes et chaises hautes pour tables à cocktails, ou pour quelques grandes tables communes.) J’adore la touché spéciale des noms des sandwichs qui proviennent des quartiers environnant de la ville. J’ai essayé le Centre-​Ville, un simple bagel saumon fumée, fromage à la crème et câpres que j’ai dévoré en peu de temps. Je m’y était installée pour une heure environ afin de faire un peu de travail et la connection internet fonctionnait sans défaut. J’aurais simplement aimé né pas avoir conduit pour m’y rendre, parce qu’une bonne bière en ce beau vendredi après-​midi aurait bien terminée ma journée de travail. Je trouve ça intéressant quand un café offre la possibilité de boire une boisson alcoolisée, mais je né trouve pas toujours que l’ambiance est la bonne. À ce Caffé Art Java par contre, le décor presque chic, remplit de couleurs et avec une ambiance qui ressemble à un lounge donc, un belle blonde rafraîchissante aurait bien passée! La prochaine fois…

Can’t believe this place has no reviews, someone find a Unilocal community manager for Montréal, quickly!
Gorgeous huge interior with great coffee selection and baked goods. Coffee shop turns cocktail lounge come evening with a well stoked bar at the back.
Free wifi, tonnes of seating and very friendly staff.
Interior is done up quite swanky with red and black décor. A few giant wide screen tvs in case you want to catch news highlights.
