Pikolo Espresso Bar Montreal

Coffee with charm

Jérémie from Montreal

""Pikolo Espresso Bar" in Montreal is the place I go to for an afternoon escape from the office. I love it for all seasons. It looks like a coffee machine!"

This is a lovely coffee place almost at the corner of Sherbrook and Bleury street, when it becomes avenue du Parc. It's the place I go to regularly when I want to escape from my office in the afternoon to get a coffee and then come back, or find some quietness to read a research article while sipping my drink. Of course you could read your city guide or any book too.

As you enter the shop, the delicious coffee aroma kicks in -- no surprise there, as they collaborate with the local coffee roaster St-Henri. Then, the nice staff is there to take your order. You feel the house was built around the long coffee bar: with the tiny table on one side and more spaces in the back, with a little mezzanine and larger table, cool lighting, pipes everywhere, it's as if you were inside a coffee espresso machine.

While I discovered it during the winter, I like the place in the summer too. During the positive temperature season, all their drinks can be ordered in their iced version for the same price. if you knew how warm and humid it can be you wouldn't hesitate for long to add ice to your cup.

Originally from Paris where I always like to go back, I lived in Oslo, Berlin (where I used to be a spotter as well), and now in Montreal since 2017. I’m finally working in the movie industry after joining the VFX studio DNEG at their Montreal office in the summer of 2022. I like to take pictures, to stay creative, and I’m always ready for city exploration on my bike or in my running shoes. If you like art galleries, music shops, and...

Theatre Fairmount

Spaceship with music

It's quite interesting because it's all in length, with a stage in the middle to the right & a bar on the left side stretched on almost half of the space.

Le bar A

A real local bar

There is a neighbourly atmosphere that defines this tiny but very charming bar. The bar list is very basic but covers the essentials.

Café Toranj

For foreign food and latte lovers

"Café Toranj" in Shelbrooke, Montreal, is a Persian café with eclectic decor. I can vouch for their saffron cake - and check out their latte!

Guido Molinari

Old bank turned into art place

"Guido Molinari" in Montreal has everything going for it. It's an art space that always gets me thrilled whenever there's a new exhibition going on...
