Zab Café Montreal
Good coffee roaster
Looking for ideas on how to start exploring Montreal? Do you like coffee? I’m guessing yes and that makes my article much easier to pursue… Zab Café is a coffee roaster from Montreal that has an interesting story, four locations, and good coffee. When I was working in the old port I used to go regularly to the Paquebot du Vieux, their location in this area, to get fresh air by taking a little walk to it, refilling my mug, and often ordering one of their delicious wraps from the menu as well. But what I loved the most, I think, was the turntable always playing music selected by the baristas, always an eclectic mix of old classics and new releases. I admit I have been there sometimes just to get a new playlist for my Spotify.
Since I changed jobs in 2022 I also changed some of my routines in the city and I used that to discover other locations. For example, when I decide to go visit the ArtMûr gallery I now stop at the latest coffee place they opened on St-Denis street between the subway station Beaubieu and Rosemont. It's small and smells of good coffee, ideal for a small break before continuing your city exploration.

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.
