Reviews of Tunnel Espresso Bar (Coffee Shop)

Renaud Bourassa

One of the best coffee in the downtown area. Much better than your average Starbucks. Conveniently located in the tunnel between Place Ville Marie and Centre Eaton. Closed on weekends.

Cyril Arnaud

(Translated) Stunning lattes in a small nook that goes unnoticed. Another jewel of Montreal :) (Original) Superbes lattés dans un petit recoin qui passe inaperçu. Un autre joyau de Montréal :)

Jason Peate

I've been going there for year. The coffees are off the hook. The canolis ate hreat. The staff is super friendly. The best grab n' go.

François Desjardins

(Translated) Exceptional! This is the word to describe this establishment out of the ordinary. An espresso micro-bar located in a tunnel between the Eaton Center and Place Ville-Marie, where we serve coffees of rare quality. The owner is also the master barista of the place: friendly, welcoming, a maniac of traditional know-how. Bring your friends if you want to impress them. (Original) Exceptionnel ! C'est le mot pour décrire cet établissement hors du commun. Un micro-bar à expresso situé dans un tunnel entre le Centre-Eaton et la Place Ville-Marie, où on vous sert des cafés d'une rare qualité. Le propriétaire est aussi le maître-barista de la place : sympathique, accueillant, un maniaque du savoir faire traditionnel. Amenez vos amis si vous voulez les impressionner.

A cute little espresso counter in the underground city serving up some incredible drinks to go. I'll always make a detour when I'm downtown to come here and get an espresso. The service is great and it caters perfectly to the rush hour crowd.

Mike Nowacki

Fabulous coffee! Easily the best in town. No place to sit, just come for the aroma and taste.

Phantom

Overwhelmingly overrated cafe. Their coffe quality is pathetic and the prices are to the roof. This was by far the worst coffee ive ever tasted. The acidity was melting my throat, couldnt even finish it. Ive tried a lot of coffees and i especially like the strong-black type. But at this place, its awful. Furthermore, i couldnt bear the fake smile the cashier was making to everyone, her eyes weren't even sincere. This is all mere marketing (aka propaganda) scheme that makes you believe its the best coffee place because of its "small" place. To avoid at all costs.

Michel Zeidan

Great spot for exceptionally brewed coffee on the go.. Not to mention they carry some awesome beans from the likes of Phil & Sebastian and Detour! Don't miss out next time u go through... The tunnel!

Louie L

Best coffee in Montreal by far. This location and the one in the Time Out Market. It's the best latte I've ever had. The guy that makes the coffee has passion and it shows he loves what he does.

Kirk Cavell

Quick, convenient and totally delicious coffee packed into a well designed closet.

Katherine Anne St-Louis

Good service, good coffee!

Stuuph

Best spot to take a break downtown. Passionate, knowledgeable, friendly staff.

Isabelle Thérien

(Translated) Yum. Always. A coffee that is worth going to the bowels of Montreal for him! (Original) Miam. Toujours. Un café qui vaut la peine qu'on aille dans les entrailles de Montréal pour lui!

Standing underground in a mall?

Tiffany Rizer

Friendly staff and wonderful coffee. Highly recommend!

Raymond Keith

Amazingly good Coffee, will return to again when around!

Marie p

Staff is super friendly. The coffee is great, but it's their chocolate chip cookie that makes me stop by every time I am nearby. It's big, fluffy and delicious!

Scott Lowe

Great cappuccino from this place. Silky.

Anastasia Artemova

Great coffee, delicious mini-canolli's and friendly stuff.

Maxime Rouiller

Best espresso I had in Montreal. This is a "hole in the wall". No place to sit, nothing made there except the coffee. 2 employees, a coffee machine and your taste buds. You NEED to stop there.

Sophie Dancause

(Translated) Bitter coffee. Donut fro. Contamination of the cup with the barista who takes the small cup by the edges. (Original) Café amer. Beignet bof. Contamination de la tasse avec le barista qui prends la petite tasse par les bords.

Ian Wallis

Takeaway coffee place. Good service, but didn't enjoy the espresso, tasted like it would go well with milk though. No seats at all. Hard to find!

Martin Dupuis

best espresso coffee in town !

정경미

(Translated) It's in the basement. If you go to Google Map, you can not find it. Only takeout. Note please. (Original) 지하에 있어요. 구글 지도보고 가면 못찾고 지하로 내려가세요. 테이크아웃밖에 안됩니다. 참고하세요.

Daniel Nadasi

Very nice coffee in a no fuss setting. Good for a quick brew on the go.

(Translated) The best I have tasted. And I made several! (Original) Le meilleur que j'ai goûté. Et j'en ai fait plusieurs!

Mia Verone

excellent coffee quality

Dave Cunningham

Some of the best coffee in town. Everyone who works there is also super nice, and there's a cheerful atmosphere. Pick up a loyalty card!

Justin Walters

The most consistent and excellent espresso I've found in Montreal. Super friendly staff and fast service along with a really convenient location. Highly recommended.

Jen M

An oasis in the underground! Great coffee- no seating, but there are a few couches in PVM where you can sit and enjoy.

Dave

One of my favourite coffees in the area!

David Pieropan

My goto place for a coffee downtown.

Etienne Plante-Dube

(Translated) Very good latte. Tasty. Nice home. (Original) Tres bon latte. Goûteux. Accueil sympa.

Marc Eric Blanchette

Best coffee EVER!!

Ben Cummings

Good coffee, generous snacks, convenient location, and excellent company. This is, excuse me, a damn fine cup of coffee.

Karina Marliss

Delectable coffee served by adorably quirky humans who have excellent taste in music! Tunnel Espresso is a welcome oasis in an otherwise overly commercial downtown core.

Patrick Cardin

Great place to get the best Coffee in Montreal. I recommend the Macchiato

Greg Kokjian

Loved both the doughnut and sconut; great service too! The peach doughnut is yummy!

Vsimileac

Quality of coffee depends on the team. You should train all yours baristas to make the coffee in the same way. When I order a small cappuccino I would like to drink a small cappuccino and not a small latté. You are using great beans so it must be easy to complete. And second issue: sometime it takes too long to have my coffee and it becomes less hot. I prefer a consistency so if it continues in this way I, personally, will choose another place. And I think my colleagues will make same choice.

Luke Trust

Best tasting latte I ever had, friendly staff

Louis Gagnon (Megalewis)

Best latte EVER !! Even if a bit expensive, will have to go back.

Green Blue

The best coffee in Montreal downtown.

Guillaume DG

Hands down best coffee around my office at Place Ville-Marie.

Jean-François Gagnon

(Translated) In my top 10. I am a Latté coffee lover and I have tested more than 10 places in the city center. Tunnel Espresso Bar specializes in coffee and do it very well. Their mill and espresso machine are well calibrated. The staff are friendly and welcoming, l. Without forgetting the principal their coffees are very good and well proportioned. (Original) Dans mon top 10. Je suis amateur de café Latté et j'ai testé plus de 10 endroits dans le centre-ville. Tunnel Espresso Bar se spécialise dans le café et le font très bien. Leur moulin et leur machine à espresso sont bien calibrés. Le personnel est sympathique et accueillant,l. Sans oublier le principal leurs cafés sont très bons et bien dosés.

Jeremie Gerhardt

New regular customer for a few weeks and so nice that they already remember my usual request before I order. Americano for life.

Francis Vinet

(Translated) Best coffee in town !! (Original) Meilleur café en ville!!

Jean-Sébastien Renaud

Excellent Lattes!!

Simon Tremblay

(Translated) The coffee seemed burnt to the point that it was very bitter. The service was blah as the cashier was on his phone rather than the customer's attention. I do NOT recommend this place (Original) Le café semblait brûlé au point qu'il était très amère. Le service était bof car le caissier était à son téléphone plutôt qu'à l'attention du client. Je ne recommande PAS cet endroit

Avi Modi

Definitely one of the BEST Latte in town.

Gys Weverink

Vladim Allard-Cobetto

Great coffee and friendliest service! A must for coffee crawls in Montreal.

Hilda Tudor

Fabulous coffee!

Jean-Guillaume Bastin

So lovely to see this young man open this tiny tiny hole in a corridor. It's basically 3 people standing with no space to move but making incredible coffee for a good price. Passionate barristas. Also, friday is cannoli day and they are great.

Cathy M

Such a hidden gem! Well worth traipsing through the underbelly of the Eaton Centre for this coffee. Their sweet treats are also scrumptious!

Li Jo

It's the cutest cafeteria type thing we've ever seen! Very clever solution and excellent espresso!

Ron Charles

The only decent coffee available anywhere in Montreal's underground city

Melanie Blackbird

Best latte I've ever had! Great service as well!

Owen H (indorseaple)

Great espresso, quite expensive though

Adeetya Kaul

Excellent chocolate brownie and latte!

Marie ann Pelletier

Always great coffee!! ????

Joshua Mc Mahon

Get my coffee there every morning. People and coffee are both absolutely fantastic.

Stephanie Boutilier

Fabulous people and coffee, hole in the wall and a great afternoon escape from the office.

Alexandru Serban

I really do not get what the buzz is all about there. The cashier was giving me attitude and the coffee was burnt. Maybe they had a bad day when I was there but I did not enjoy their coffee. Way too acid my throat was melting. Overall would not reccomend.

Dolores Rioux

Best latte in Montreal :)

Audrey Chartrand-Bellemare

Favorite downtown coffee shop. Amazing coffee.

Laurence Leroux-Lapierre

Hidden (tiny) gem selling wonderful lattes! Hurry and go grab one. Staff is very nice.

A ALK

Nice coffee.... but no place to sit :( Also the location is hard to find for newbies.. They are underground and not on the street just in case you start looking for them...

Pierre-Etienne Bergeron Pierre-Etienne Bergeron

(Translated) The best specialty coffee in downtown Montreal. You have to taste it to understand. Go for it!!! (Original) Le meilleur café spécialisé au centre-ville de Montréal. Il faut y gouter pour comprendre. Allez-y!!!

Charbel Farah

Andy's beard is improving daily ;)

Laurene

Over-extracted, bitter espresso. Bad latte art. For $5 a cup there are better options in town.

Patrick

Favorite spot for the best latte downtown

Nathalie Cano Lopez

Excellent coffee, excellent place and amazing peeps!!

Cerise828

Best morning stop for coffee!

Dgate Cycle

Latte was too sour. Couldn't even finish it. Way better places close by.

Laurent S

Order and leave place. No sitting, no wifi, just great coffee and good service!

Armen Terziyan

One of the best coffee joints in Montreal. Super friendly staff/owner, great shot of espresso, what more can you ask for? Highly recommended if you are in and around the Eaton centre or Place Ville Marie.

Boris Volfson

Tunnel Espresso Bar is the John Waters of cafes. Their espresso challenges, confuses and amuses you. Their baked goods tickle your happiness centre. Their baristas are superstars, but somehow humble and approachable. They pack it all in small frame. They are DIVINE! PS: And if you drink their lattes too quickly, you'll get your very own John Waters moustache!

L Tan

Good coffee

Xiao-Long Chang

This is based upon the Americano. Pretty good coffee at a convenient location. Barebones with decent service. Prices are pretty high.

Graeme Salmon

Great coffee, super flavourful and rich. I would highly recommend! Really friendly service too. It's a shame that it's just a coffee counter; it's not really an environment where you can really enjoy and get the most out of your coffee.

Benoit St-Pierre

The best coffees downtown. They a located in the tunnel between Place Ville-Marie and the Eaton Centet.

Bernard Melameth

For those gray days, when you're feeling down, an espresso from Tunnel with one of their legendary brownies will put a smile on your face. It is the (blue neon) light at the end of the Tunnel.

andrea Kasparian

Fast service but there may be a waiting line during work hours (morning/lunch) be prepared for that and you’ll get an amazing coffee!!! I will say it’s expensive considering no seating but I love the concept and find it worth it

SL

Very cute, lovely stand. Service is quick and friendly. The coffee is very good and feels velvety. Nice place to grab a drink on the go.

melissa Kennedy

Lamooooo great place with great staff

Tony Macklovitch

Very kind service

Max Mckay

Whenever I want a real coffee Tunnel Café is there for me! Thank you guys!

Dana M

I love their products and I go out of my way to buy from them rather than the many other surrounding coffee places that are much closer to my work (it takes me 12-15 min to walk to this one vs 2 min walk to starbucks). Unfortunately, today, I was very disappointed with the service. They are supposed to close at 4 and I arrived at 3:56 and when I tried to order an espresso, the girl with the short blond hair told me in a dry manner that they were closed. She must of started the shop closing way too early if she had finalized her closing ahead of the actual advertised time. An espresso isn’t a big order, so I was quite surprised. When a business says they close at a certain time, they should respect the advertised schedule or change it if they don’t want to serve clients past a certain time.

Sabrina Lévesque

Best coffee there is downtown ❤

I really enjoy this cafe. My unit is very close, it is opened in the early hours of the morning with fresh and healthy sweets. A superb oat-milk latte with good music and great staff.

Guillaume Drouin-Garneau

Love it. I'm a fan.
