(Translated) The best coffee in Montreal! (Original) Le meilleur café à Montréal !

Joel Mensah

So far, 1 star. Just had an espresso there. It was undrinkable and they served it to me in a big mug. If they were mocking me it was funny, if not it wasn't. Can't comment on the beans( if i ignore the quality of the espresso) and the rest of the stuff they have (yet)

Regis Coque

(Translated) Simply the best coffee! (Original) Simplement le meilleur café!

Edouard Geyer

(Translated) Good coffee! Fast and courteous service. Warm environment. (Original) Bons cafés! Service rapide et courtois. Ambiance chaleureuse.

Marius Thuram

(Translated) One of the best coffee in MTL. Always freshly roasted, a lower price than what is sold everywhere else. While promoting fair trade and not just for coffee, there is a whole loose section to accompany coffee (various sugars and divine cocoa). Those who claim that coffee is not good would do better to buy a real good Espresso machine or stay at home drinking a big instant coffee. ;) Seriously, each machine reacts differently depending on the type of coffee, grind, pressure, water, temperature and others. We must know our machine and try to get the taste we like. (Original) Un des meilleurs café à MTL. Toujours fraîchement torréfié, un prix moindre que ce qui se vend partout ailleurs. Tout en encouragent le commerce équitable et pas seulement pour le café, il y a toute une section vrac pour accompagner le café (des sucres divers et du cacao divin). Ceux qui prétendent que le café n'est pas bon feraient mieux de s'acheter une vraie bonne machine Espresso ou de rester à la maison boire un gros café instantané. ;) Sérieusement, chaque machine réagit différemment selon le type de café, mouture, pression, eau, température et autres. Il faut connaître notre machine et faire des essais pour obtenir le goût que l'on aime.

Camille Tremblay

(Translated) Very good choice average welcome (Original) Tres bon choix accueil moyen

Rita Mou

(Translated) Excellent coffee, but such rude and unprofessional service. Almost every time I go back to buy myself coffee, I wonder if the quality of the coffee is worth the borderline contemptuous service. (Original) Café excellent, mais service tellement désagréable et non-professionnel. Presque chaque fois que je retourne m'acheter du café, je me demande si la qualité du café vaut le service limite méprisant.

Oscar J. Acosta

better then st*rbuck! coffee is amazing.

Thierry Poirier

Best coffee beans in Montreal. I only go to cafe Rico as it is a lot fresher than where some other stores who sell their beans. Price is better at the location as well.

Michele Gignac

(Translated) The staff is noisy, talking loudly from one end of the coffee to the other. (Original) Le personnel est bruyant, parle fort d'un bout à l'autre du café.

(Original) Excellent café et service attentif. Comme la boutique est toujours pleine je lui donne "que" 4 car j'aime pas attendre. Autrement une bonne adresse.

Martin Gauthier

(Translated) The best latte of my life. It's noisy but you get used to it easily considering the quality of the coffee. Update: coffee latte today is very, very, very ordinary. I am disappointed for the first time. I leave a note of 4 given the quality for several years. (Original) Le meilleur latté de ma vie. C'est bruyant mais on s'y habitue facilement vu la qualité du café. Misa à jour: le café latte aujourd'hui est très très très ordinaire. Je suis déçu pour la première fois.

Zane Remenda

Good local coffee shop and Internet browsing.

Jessica Labrie

(Translated) Suler place! Definitely the best coffee on the board! You can buy it by bringing your own container. They also have a few other bulk products! The coffee is organic and fair. A good variety is offered for all tastes. The place is also quite popular and works well to prove the quality of the products offered. A discount is available for students and seniors. The service is also impeccable. (Original) Suler endroit! Certainement le meilleur café du plateau! Il est possible de l'acheter en apportant son propre contenant. Ils ont aussi quelques autres produits en vrac! Le café est bio et équitable. Une bonne variété est offert pour tous les goûts. L'endroit est d'ailleurs assez populaire et fonctionne bien pour prouver la qualité des produits offerts. Un rabais est disponible pour les etudiants et personnes de l'age d'or. Le service y est aussi impecable.

Gianni Tortorici

Fair trade coffee shop with a high quality welcome. Try the different types of cookies, definitely worth the price. Ability to buy your coffee beans on site among the large variety of choice! Definitely the kind of place to grab a coffee or to sit and to enjoy a friendly moment.

ROJHAN PAYDAR

Cozy place, friendly staff, great coffee, good pastry. Only few tables inside.

Anne Blanchet

Lauren Breton

I mainly come here to buy my coffee beans, which they then grind to the size I want. They buy and roast their own coffee beans and its all fair trade. On top of being delicious, their coffee is also very affordable (with 10% off for students on top of it). The service is always speedy and friendly.

Hugo Lapointe Di Giacomo

(Translated) Acidic coffee and we are more on a mass of foam than on a cappuccino. Glad I tried but I don't intend to come back (Original) Café acide et on est plus sur une masse de mousse que sur un cappuccino. Content d'avoir essayé mais je ne compte pas revenir

Nadine Paquin

(Translated) I crossed the city from north to south to buy my coffee from you twice a month. Today I decided to put an end to this great adventure which had seen the light of day more than 3 years ago. Indeed, the city and '' its mayoress '' got the better of my favorite coffee. No more parking space anywhere ... and endless work made me move one last time ... for nothing, having found no parking space. Goodbye downtown Montreal. (Original) Je traversais la ville du nord au sud pour acheter mon café chez vous 2 fois par mois. Aujourd'hui j'ai décidé de mettre fin à cette belle aventure qui avait vu le jour il y a plus de 3 ans. En effet, la ville et ''sa mairesse'' a eu raison de mon café préféré. Plus de place de stationnement nulle part...et des travaux à n'en plus finir m'ont fait me déplacer une dernière fois...pour rien, n'ayant trouvé aucune place de stationnement. Adieu centre-ville de Montréal.

Damien Goblot

Service is all over the place, no order unfortunately. We ordered a cold cafe latte and it was bitter, no straws, etc... It was like ordering a fake ice tea! They should just stick to what they know, regular coffee. Good luck.

Émile G. Ouellet

(Translated) Very good coffee. Wireless. Friendly staff. (Original) Très bon café. Wifi. Personnel sympa.

Guylaine Ducharme

(Translated) really cheap considering the corner. a few steps from bagel st-viateur, I recommend trying, you will have the peace and the same quality of coffee if not better for the third of the price. (Original) vraiment pas cher considérant le coin. à quelques pas de bagel st-viateur, je recommande d'essayer, vous aurez la tranquillité et la même qualité de café sinon mieux pour le tier du prix.

Francis Tremblay

(Translated) It is a must on the Plateau for quality fair trade grains ... It’s not even expensive! (Forget Starbucks and co!) (Original) C’est un incontournable sur le Plateau pour des grains équitables de qualité... C’est même pas cher en plus! (Oubliez Starbucks et co!)

Raymond Malenfant

(Translated) The service was ok, but my latte barely tasted the coffee. Very disappointing from this café which wants to be an institution on the Plateau. I will not go back. (Original) Le service était correct, mais mon latté ne goûtait presque pas le café. Très décevant de la part de ce café qui se veut une institution sur le Plateau. Je n'y retournerai pas.

Richard Tessier

(Translated) The croissants are really good and the lavender herbal tea is a very nice discovery. I recommend. (Original) Les croissants sont vraiment bons et la tisane à la lavande très belle découverte. Je recommande.

Maxime Lavallee

Fantastic coffee every time I go! Unfortunately had a few bad experiences with the same guy rude staffer but the rest of the staff is really polite and helpful. Rarely a place to sit but I guess that is a good sign...

Sam N

Hands down the best beans in town. I tried a few alternatives and none came close to Rico's price/quality ratio. Give them a try!

Alban Soto

Sergiy Baydych

(Translated) Best fair trade organic coffee in the world, best cocoa in Montreal (Original) Meilleur café bio équitable au monde, meilleur cacao de Montréal

Vikrant Tomar

Best coffee in town

David Leonard

(Translated) A good little coffee not very expensive and with good quality coffee. The staff are very friendly and the place, although small, is friendly. I take batts regularly, and the quality depends on the barista on duty. I have had the occasion to have a little burnt coffee, or with too much milk, but overall, I have never been really disappointed. (Original) Un bon petit café pas bien cher et avec du café de bonne qualité. Le personnel est très sympathique et l'endroit, bien que petit, est convivial. Je prends régulièrement des lattés, et la qualité dépend du barista en service. Il m'est arrivé à l'occasion d'avoir un café un peu brûlé, ou avec trop de lait, mais dans l'ensemble, je n'ai jamais été vraiment déçu.

Parise Vautour

Micaela Julia Raga Binimelis

(Translated) Fair and cheap (Original) Equitable et pas cher

Kayoco

(Translated) Very good coffee, very cool atmosphere. But ... most humans who consume coffee will tell you: it is mostly in the morning that we enjoy this beverage. So why the hell is this place closed in the morning? It's incomprehensible. Opening at 10 a.m. means dropping all the clientele of neighborhood workers who could encourage your local business. (Original) Café très bon, ambiance très cool. Mais... la plupart des humains consommant du café vous le diront: c'est surtout le matin qu'on apprécie ce breuvage. Alors pourquoi diable cet endroit est fermé en matinée? C'est incompréhensible. Ouvrir à 10h, c'est laisser tomber toute la clientèle de travailleurs du quartier qui pourraient encourager votre commerce local

Pierre Bernard

(Translated) Fairtrade coffee, roasted on site, at an unbeatable price. Several varieties. I walk over an hour each month to get it. Beautiful walk worth it! They also take Debit cards. (Original) Café Équitable, torréfié sur place, à prix imbattable. Plusieurs variétés. Je marche plus d'une heure à chaque mois pour aller le chercher. Belle promenade qui en vaut la peine! Ils prennent aussi les cartes Débit.

Michel Bertrand

(Translated) I can't buy my coffee anywhere else! I love this place and the prices are really reasonable. They are good advice. For my part, I have always had a warm and smiling welcome. “For Juliette” is my favorite grain. I love it as a latte in the morning! (Original) Impossible d’acheter mon café ailleurs! J’adore cet endroit et les prix sont vraiment raisonnables. Ils sont de bons conseils. Pour ma part, j’ai toujours eu un accueil chaleureux et souriant. « Pour Juliette » est mon grain préféré. Je l’adore en latte le matin!

(Translated) Competent staff. Nice welcome and good advice for choosing coffee. The only downside is the method of payment. Especially in a pandemic situation, it would be greatly appreciated if credit cards were accepted. (Original) Personnel compétant. Bel accueil et de bons conseils pour le choix de café. Le seul bémol est le mode de paiement. Surtout en situation de pandémie, il serait très apprécié que les cartes de crédit soient acceptées.

Olivier Gariépy

(Translated) 2020: roaster who sells freshly roasted coffee to the public. Apart from Mont Royal Street, the roasting house is located next to the Hoche Glacé in Hochelaga Maisonneuve. Very nice discovery. Professional and courteous service. Cash only but with invoice. (Original) 2020: torréfacteur qui vend du café fraîchement torréfié au public.

Café excellent, choix de gâteaux que mes enfants adorent, équipe formidable. J'y vais depuis presque 4 ans. J'y achète tout mon café que je fais moudre sur place. Le choix est vraiment grand et l'équipe me fait souvent découvrir des supers cafés. Prenez-le temps de discuter avec l'équipe pour en apprendre plus sur l'histoire de ce commerce et sur la philosophie, c'est vraiment interessant. On est très loin de l'approche mercantile des chaînes, et vos papilles ne s'y tromperont pas. Merci à l'équipe!

Daniel STOLL

Love their coffee there! Wish the shop was bigger with dine in option. I'd move in there for sure. Fantastic service as well. Especially the gentleman who is in his 40's? Love that guy!

sivotha meam

Quaint cafe that sells good, cheap bulk coffee.

Sam Wong

I get my fresh coffee there. All there coffee are documented on a menu, depending if you want to use it for espresso, filtered coffee, Italian press, etc. The staff can orient you to some choices if you hesitate, and they grind it for you as well. You can also stop by to get a coffee at the espresso bar.

Amy T

(Translated) If I could give 6 stars or 10, I would!

In addition, it is an eco-socio-responsible company, active in the community. Well done! (Original) Si je pouvais donner 6 étoiles ou 10, je le ferais! Meilleur café en ville, sans exagération, et meilleur qualité-prix tant pour les produits en vrac (y compris le café) que pour les boissons et la nourriture à consommer sur place.

Chloé David

(Translated) Café Rico offers great coffee beans, nuts and other fair trade products at great prices. If you are a senior or a student you will even get a discount. However, the opening hours make no sense for a cafe. They open at 10 a.m. and are closed on Sundays. I can't calculate how many times I wanted to go and the cafe was closed. (Original) Café Rico offre de très bons cafés en grains, des noix et autres produits équitables à très bons prix. Si vous êtes un aîné ou un étudiant vous aurez même un rabais. Cependant les heures d'ouvertures font aucun sens pour un café. Ils ouvrent à 10 hre et sont fermés le dimanche. Je ne peux pas calculer le nombre de fois où je souhaitais y aller et que le café était fermé.

Adrian Petterson

Great little cafe! The coffee is really good! Pastries are decent but not amazing. Coffee in grains is good to buy for hone and students get 15% discount. It gets pretty crowded at times at the counter but I've never had a problem having a table to sit at. Studying there is doable if you don't mind noises of chatter and coffee grinding. There are also only 2 sets of wall plugs so pick a table close. Overall I definitely recommend!

Francis Guay

(Translated) I love this place. Best coffee selection in Montreal! any fair trade. really a too cute corner. too bad that with the covid situation we can no longer enjoy an espresso at home. (Original) j'adore cet endroit.

Great coffee if you want to make your own espresso :-)

Mathieu Blais

(Translated) Cool (Original) Genial

Patrice L.

(Translated) We are fan of latte. It was missed. Little crema, espresso with bitterness, too much milk, much too hot almost hot. And the "latte art" completely missed. The place is too narrow, tired and with a big lack of love. Nothing to satisfy their purpose ... the customers. There is little coffee that is able to deliver the real quality product. Fortunately there is! (Original) Nous sommes fan de latte. Ça été raté. Peu de créma, espresso avec amertume, trop de lait, beaucoup trop chaud presque brûlant. Et le "latte art" complètement raté. L'endroit est trop étroit, défraîchi et avec un grand manque d'amour. Rien pour satisfaire leurs raison d'être...les clients. Y'a peu de café qui sont capable de livrer le vrai produit de qualité. Heureusement il y en a !

LarocheJoncas Galerie

(Translated) the last time I was at the Rico Cafe was an unpleasant experience. I was coming home and I had not seen the owner's dog behind the door ... I stepped on it and the dog screamed ... I was angry and mostly unhappy that the dog was in the middle of the door. I looked at the owner and asked him what the dog was doing there? He started screaming at me saying that maybe I should look where I walk and not look when I'm walking. I was sorry for the dog but insulting to make me cry after me by the owner when the dog was not his place ... Finished for me coffee Rico, I already found the coffee good but ordinary ... bio but bitter and without much flavor ... No more coffee Rico fair or not ... It was not my fault and especially I could hurt his dog and me the same fact by losing the balance. Bitter experience as his coffee! (Original) la dernière fois que j'ai été au café Rico se fut une expérience désagréable. Je rentrais et je n'avais pas vu derrière la porte le chien du propriétaire... J'ai marché dessus et le chien a hurlé... J'étais énervé et surtout mécontent que le chien soit au milieu de la porte.. J'ai regardé le propriétaire et je lui est demandé ce que le chien faisait là? Il s'est mis à me crier dessus disant que je devrais peut-être regarder où je marche et que je ne regardais pas quand je marchais. J'étais désolé pour le chien mais insulter de me faire crier après moi par le propriétaire quand le chien ce n'était pas sa place... Fini pour moi le café Rico, je trouvais déjà le café bon mais ordinaire... bio mais amer et sans trop de saveur... Fini le Café Rico équitable ou pas... Cela n'était pas de ma faute et surtout j'aurais pu blesser son chien et moi du même fait en perdant l'équilibre. Expérience amer comme son café!

Enrique Vergara

(Translated) Café RIco is by far my favorite place to buy my coffee, but I must say that I don't understand why it is still open despite the measures taken by the Legault government during the pandemic. I am disappointed with the management that puts its employees and ITS CUSTOMERS at risk every day of work ... Do we really consider coffee as an essential service in 2020? For my part, I can greatly survive with the one on sale at the grocery store. I understand that you want to satisfy your customers, but it seems to me that in times of a GLOBAL public health crisis, those of your employees and customers should also be taken into consideration. I myself work in a cafe which closed on March 13 and I greatly respect the decision of my employer ... that's the least I can do !!! It is certainly a financially difficult decision for a trade, but we are at a critical point. I hope this word will make its way and that a decision will be made quickly by the managers. For your health, that of your employees and of the whole community, I take you to consider the word of your customers. Thank you Lucie, a worried client ... (Original) Le Café RIco est de loin mon endroit préféré pour acheter mon café, mais je dois dire que je ne comprends pas pourquoi il est toujours ouvert malgré les mesures prises par le gouvernement Legault pendant la pandémie. Je suis déçue de la gestion qui met à risque ses employés et SES CLIENTS à chaque jour de travail... Considérons-nous vraiment le café comme un service essentiel en 2020? Pour ma part, je peux grandement survivre avec celui en vente à l'épicerie. Je comprends que vous souhaitiez satisfaire vos clients, mais il me semble qu'en temps de crise de santé publique MONDIALE, celles de vos employés et clients devraient elle aussi être prise en considération. Je travaille moi-même dans un café qui a fermé le 13 mars et je respecte énormément la décision de mon employeur... c'est la moindre des choses!!! C'est sûr que c'est une décision difficile financièrement pour un commerce, mais nous en sommes à un point critique. J'espère que ce mot fera son chemin et qu'une décision sera prise rapidement par les gestionnaires. Pour votre santé, celle de vos employés et de toute la communauté, je vous pris de considérer la parole de vos clients. Merci Lucie, une cliente inquiète...

(Translated) I am a regular customer of this place! In fact, I was, since this morning I returned with a pound of coffee beans bought 6 days ago, yesterday while preparing the coffee it was undrinkable, so today I went to see to have an exchange, the owner tells me she can't take it back due to the covid, okay ... and she offers me a small discount on another purchase ??? So this shopkeeper prefers to lose a regular customer for $ 13.50, that's the price for 600 grams of coffee! It is clear that for me I will never set foot there again !!! But what is this style of management !!! ???? (Original) Je suis un client régulier de ce lieu! En fait, j'étais, puisque ce matin je suis retourné avec une livre de café en grains achetée il y a 6 jours, hier en préparant le café il était imbuvable, donc aujourd'hui je suis allé voir pour avoir un échange, la propriétaire me dit qu'elle ne peut le reprendre en raison de la covid, d'accord...et elle me propose un petit rabais sur un autre achat??? Donc cette commerçante préfère perdre un client régulier pour 13,50$, c'est le prix pour 600 grammes de café! Il est clair que pour moi je n'y remettrai plus jamais les pieds!!! Mais c'est quoi ce style de gestion!!!????

Cafe Rico is my favorite cafe in Montreal. All the coffee is fair trade and you can buy it in bulk. The Amour Amour roast is incredible, and it is much gentler on the stomach then other coffees. There's a student/senior discount too. They also have other fair trade products in bulk like cashews, cocoa beans and goldenberries. All the drinks are delicious and very well priced. It's often crowded but people are always willing to share a table.
