Café Névé

so downtown, the hood where great coffee goes to die because the clientele doesn’t care about coffee quality as long as they get their fix. while most of the great cafés in montreal that decided to pierce the downtown area by downgrading their coffee game to match the masses taste, here you have café névé fresh off their frank & oak collab brings exactly what you’d expect of the other névé locations, great coffee that made their reputation known throughout the coffee drinkers and for that, i applaud them.
like the same concept at their mile-​end location, this is inside frank & oak with the café located by the entrance and similarly, coffee is only in take-​out cups despite having tables to drink at.
besides coffee, they have their famous baked goods. price wise, expect similar pricing as their other locations.
one thing though is you won’t get the same experience as their first 2 locations in le plateau and more to that, you will not get that lovely smell of freshly baked goods.
anyway, if you happen to be nearby, this is the café to go for

My favourite Café Neve location, right in the heart of downtown inside of Frank and Oak. Perfect to grab on the go or to sit and relax/​shop.

Quick update to my previous review: sandwiches are available! And I’m loving the selection at Frank and Oak as well. Perfect for grabbing a latte and browsing through their gorgeous new location.

Névé, névé… Ont-​ils vraiment encore besoin de présentation? Le Névé, je leur dois mon amour du café. Leur succursale sur Rachel est le premier endroit où je me suis arrêtée lorsque j’ai déménagée à Montréal et que j’ai eu envie d’assouvir ma soif de caféine. Le Névé a fait connaître à mes lèvres le doux velour d’un cappucino parfait, et les arômes finement balancées d’un café préparé avec passion et minutie. Depuis, ils ont ouvert plusieurs succursales, et leur petite dernière se situe sur Stanley en plein cœur du centre-​ville.
Je passais justement dans le coin récemment, et il né m’en fallu pas moins pour aller me chercher un cappucino. Je peux donc vous confirmer en toute certitude que l’amour y est toujours; la même délicatesse qu’aux premiers jours, les baristas toujours aussi charmeurs, et on y propose évidemment leurs fameux biscuits aux pépites de chocolats (les meilleurs de Montréal, indiscutablement!), douilet réconfort pour oublier le froid qui s’installe sur Montréal. Névé, je t’aime d’amour!

Café Névé just opened a new location downtown on Stanley, a few steps from metro Peel. It is located in the new Frank & Oak store (same concept as their Mile-​End location). I dropped by today for a latte before heading to work. The location is beautiful– they have a few tables in the store where you can sit and have your coffee /​eat a cookie while watching people shop.
The barista was super kind to me! Unfortunately, the latte was nothing special. I couldn’t really tell you how the espresso was because the whole thing tasted like cardboard for some reason? No idea why.
I definitely will be back since it is at a prime location and their baked goods look delicious. Hopefully my small latte will be worth the 3.75 $ next time! Unfortunately it wasn’t this afternoon.
