Café 1880

Bel endroit pour étudier, prix abordables! Toutefois mon muffin était pas très frais.

Great coffee at affordable price! Located right next to a university so pricing is much more affordable.
I enjoy the more chocolaty old school coffee beans and this is exactly what Café 1880 serves.

J’ai découvert ce petit café pendant les 2 – 3 semaines de l’année où il est impossible de trouver du café dans les murs de l’UQAM. Bön service, bon café, lait de soya disponible moyennant un extra, quelques muffins et croissant pour grignoter et super décor. Bref, je vais certainement y retourner!

Located near hotels and the UQAM campus, this café featured a good selection of pastries and beverages. The assorted croissants and muffins were solid — not stellar. The coffee was good. It was pretty busy on a weekday morning with a combination of both tourists and locals.

Excellent café et ambiance calme, parfait pour débuter une belle journée avec son journal, je vous conseil cette place ! ;)

Solid bet for very good second-​wave coffee and sweets around the corner from Berri metro. Their espresso doesn’t match Pourquoi Pas a few blocks away on Amherst, and you won’t see bags of beans from a favourite third-​wave roaster on offer, but that’s not really the point. What you will find are quality baked goods, including great jelly-​stuffed donuts for $ 1.25. (On those days when you are really winning at life, you may even find yourself here in the minutes before closing when they start clearing out the donuts at 2-​for-​1 prices.) The coffee holds its own with other quality second-​wave offerings in town, like Olimpico, Café Vito or even San Simeon in Little Italy. It’s less expensive than the average third-​wave joint, too: as much as I love those spots, none of them will sell you a latte and a fancy baked good for under $ 5 like Café 1880 will, tax in.
On a recent weekday afternoon, there were some fuzzy bearded gentlemen tapping away on their laptops and a clutch of teenagers chatting over coffee. There is a handsome window counter in polished wood and a few high tables with stools, as well as some regular tables with chairs. I wouldn’t make this a destination for the coffee per se, but it’s definitely a sure bet for study, work or chatting if you’re in the area (or if your sweet tooth is showing).

I was disappointed to experience that both the service & food quality are not consistently good. I won’t be going back.

Delicious cappuccinos (try the mocha, yum) in a nice little quiet atmospheric shop and wonderful friendly service. Definitely a nice place to sit and sip and read the paper or people watch out the window. Just a bit hidden but definitely worth finding. Had a tasty fresh chocolate croissant as well, be sure to check out the array of muffins!

trendy café in the uqam neighborhood. its situated right next to a bus stop. don’t be like me and get fooled by the number in their name thinking it was the address. took me a while.
so to get closer to finishing my indie passport, i went by saturday morning (since they are closed on sunday) and first thing that hits you is that its pretty dead on weekend. most people i saw go in would do takeout and i was the only one with a sit down coffee. place is extremely clean with a modern look to it compare to the really dead ugly neighborhood.
as always, got a cappuccino which was a lot similar to coffees i’ve been drinking lately, smooth easy to swallow with a very thick velvety milk foam and they were quite generous on the foam. i would have prefer something a bit stronger/​bitter. alongside the very good coffee, got one of their strawberry/​raspberry danish. sweet sticky danish with a slight sour/​tart filling. if you need your sugar intake, this is it!
as for the ambiance, i was the only one sitting there and one person joined me as i was almost done so i can’t comment much but it looks to be quite a decent place to get some studying going on.
definitely a good place to consider in the neighborhood. if they opened back in my uqam years, i’d totally spend all my time here instead of hitting the big chains

Arrêt café à côté de berri-​UQAM qui change des grandes enseignes! Le design du café est pas mal, le vert lagon y est une couleur récurrente: les tasses, les luuminaires et l’emblème du café portent à chaque fois de petites touches de la couleur. Un mur peint en noir vous invite à choisir votre breuvage: espresso, latte, thé etc. Il y a également un frigo qui vous offre differentes boissons froides. Le café offre une selection de pâtisserie de chez première moisson et de chez régal matin. Sur le mur opposé vous retrouverez en grand le bom du café (j adore!) Petite note design: les étagères du bar sont faites de tuyaux: D vive la récup’!
L’ambiance y est cosy et relax. Les baristas sont bien gentils et attentionnés. Il y a des tables hautes et quelques tables classiques. Mais pas de canapés comme je les aime tant ;) Le latte etait bien bon: D
Bön spot en ville pour deguster un bon café!

Mmmm… decaf latte. That’s honestly all I ever had at this café, but man it’s good. It comes with a pretty leaf design too! They offer Felix and Norton tiny cookies and also pastries. My friend had a muffin and a cappucino, both which were good according to her. It was actually very quiet when I went which is a plus. Nothing I hate more than overcrowded coffee shops.
Service is friendly. Oh! And they offer some salads and sandwiches/​wraps as well. Located near UQAM, perfect for university students. I really recommend this place, it’s a cute and quaint place.

I stopped in just to find a place to get a coffee and check my email, though I was pleased to find they had good and cheap doughnuts!
I thought the doughnuts were homemade — and at $ 1.25 for apricot doughnuts, that would be a deal. The second time I stopped in, I was disappointed that the doughnuts are just made by Première Moisson — a quebecois chain :/​
It’s still nice to grab a good doughnut that’s cheap in the area, but the coffee isn’t great (like many places in Montréal) — otherwise this place would not earn 3 stars.

I really like the place! I have been there on a regular basis since they opened up in summer 2012. The owner told me back then that their concept was to be a pretty basic coffee shop where everything is cheaper than at the big chains all around in downtown. I was wondering if they would make the prices go up when they would start having more customers… but fortunately it did not happen :) I usually get a latte (sometimes decaf), or a chai latte (made from real chai tea with a bit of honey on top – NOT from a sweet syrup like you would get in many other coffee shops). I’m also happy with what I get. They now have some lunch food (sandwiches, yogurts), which I have not tried, but their muffins and viennoiseries are always delicious, for a good price. The service is not rushed, but not too slow either. The one reason why I don’t give 5 stars is because the neighborhood is not an exciting place. It’s not a place that could have a nice little patio in the foreseeable future. If you’re OK with sitting inside or taking your beverage to go, then yes, go there!

Café 1880 is a smashin’ place! Great for a quick coffee or for sitting down and working the day away.
It’s a hidden gem around the corner of Boulevard René-​Lévesque and Rue Saint-​Denis. It’s a bit out of the way of the busy Rue St. Catherine, and so it’s not crazy busy like other commercial coffee shops lik Starbucks (although they are still quite busy!).
The shop is decorated with a trendy, modern style. The baristas were also totally rad, and I had a short but cool chat with them. At least one of the baristas was extremely cute, too ;)
The coffee is really good (not the best, in my opinion) but definitely still more than deserving of frequent visits!

Great selection if coffees and sweets!
Mochachino was really good and the après espresso was perfect!
The atmosphere was great as was the friendly service and down to friendly owner!
I would definitely would go out of my way to return. ;)
I see there is Wifi listed but wasn’t evident would be a nice plus if it was.

Vraiment cute ! Un nouveau petit café tout juste en face de mon pavillon a l’UQAM. Enfin, je n’aurai plus a boire l’infect café filtre de la cafétéria !
Leurs lattés sont tellement bons ! Et que dire des pâtisseries. Les muffins sont super goûteux et vous avez le choix entre plusieurs saveurs dont orange et canneberge, graine de pavot citron et framboise, érable et pommes, etc. Ils sont copieux et rassasiants.
Les employés sont sympathiques et ont vraiment l’air d’aimer leur travail, on aime ça !

Beau café local indépendant dans le Quartier Latin sud, enfin, un café style plateau avec de bons lattés dans ce coin de la ville. On dirait le même style que le Névé, choix de couleurs, cafés,… Bön service + wifi gratuit.
