Cafe Myriade

I have no idea why it has taken me this long to post about this wonderful Montreal cafe... Having the pleasure of sharing a break there with my lovely friend Linda reminded me.

Cafe Myriade is the real deal. It is a genuine coffee house/specialized tea emporium, without all of the trappings common to chain establishments. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable (one of the baristas has won a barista competition), the atmosphere reminds me of the hip and relaxed atmosphere one would imagine existed at Central Perk of Friends fame, only smaller and more cozy.

The coffee they serve is 49th Parallel among other varieties, and for the connoisseur they can prepare them using several different contraptions. This alone is worth a trip to see what I'm talking about. Then their teas are better than any others I have tasted brewed in a shop. Seriously, they are perfectly flavourful, never bitter, and are a drinkable temperature when they bring them to your table. Love that!

A little gem of a place definitely well worth exploring.
