Cafe St Henri Émery

I tried latte. I felt it just latte, nothing special. But I really like the quiet environment. The almond croissant is good. I liked it, although Mr. Tang felt it a little sweet to him.

Such a charming coffee shop! I had some tea, and it was delicious.
The staff is beyond friendly, good music playing and calm atmosphere.
I will sure be back for some coffee.

This place is a must if in Montréal. Bought a bag of whole beans, was given a free espresso & cookie (no promises). Had a great conversation with the barista. Comparable to Blue Bottle.

Best cappuccino in Montréal so far
Excellent not overroasted coffee. Well done foam. Served with a glass of water. and nice place, quite corner off busy street with outdoor seating.

Located near the end of a quiet street, this neighborhood café serves up delicious pastries and quality coffee with a dash of personality. Though it’s not really staffed to handle large groups of visitors, the server was extremely friendly, helpful, and patient. They feature African (Kenyan, this time) and South American beans. If you don’t like strong, herbal, slightly bitter coffee, try the South American beans instead. They also offer tea from the store a few doors down.

Coffee was out of this world and high quality. This is off the beaten path and looks more like a place for locals than tourists, I would absolutely go back again.

One of the best places to get a coffee in Montréal, and tucked away down a small street. Staff are friendly and great small café atmosphere.

I love the coffee here and the wait staff is super friend. The atmosphere is nice, though it can be hard to find a space.

If you love small, quirky, university town coffee houses this is the place for you. The big chains have conditioned me to know that the people serving the coffee know nothing about the beans. I entered and ordered, and then noticed the server was making herself a coffee… with a press and a timer! Ok, let’s see. «What’s you best coffee today?» What she said nearly made me cry. She KNEW coffee. As we talked she even recommended other shops. What a great place!

strong. bitter. acidic. best in moderation.
not only are they open somewhat late but they are tucked away from the busy quartier latin main street making it not as sought as people rarely venture that far off from st-​denis. sitting right near the movie theater, it’s a great place to grab a coffee before a showing or if you’re waiting for friends to show up before a night of drinking or if you’re waiting for a table because the place you want to go is full and you left your number for a call back.
it is not really made for studying though as the tables are quite small leaving you not much space.
staff is very friendly and price wise, st-​henri coffee has always been on the high end of independent coffee so expect to pay a bit more.
nonetheless, amongst the many chains in quartier latin, it’s good to have standouts

Delish. Great coffee and great tea (coming from next door — Camelia Sinensis). Absolutely delicious baked goods. I don’t know where they’re from, but I want to eat them all.
Warm, cozy and bright. Friendly staff, decent seating, close to many things. Certainly worth the trip off of Saint Denis’s crowded sidewalks.

Latte parfait. J’ai aussi pris le muffin pommes caramel avec … Un régal ! J’ai failli céder pour le muffin citron-​graines de pavot mais j’ai été raisonnable: ce sera pour la prochaine fois, car c’est clair qu’il y en aura !
Seul bémol: le confort des chaises … Un café aussi bon se doit d’être dégusté de manière plus «cosy» !
Aussi mention spéciale pour l’utilisation du système Chemex ! Je né pensais pas le trouver dans un commerce !

Their espresso is perfectly made; As such, their Americano is absolute perfection.
This third-​wave coffee shop always makes my evenings with my wife very special. There is something about the coffee and ambiance here that makes the conversations ever-​so deep.
Perfection; Absolute perfection. May this place remain perfect and exist as such forever across time and space.
If I lived near this coffee shop, I would visit it many times a week.

A cute little place close to St. Denis. Yes it is charming and quiet, but maybe not a very optimal place for studying if you need access to a plug. They are located up high and hard to use unless you have a super long cord for your laptop. Temperature was cold at first but the barista increased it when I asked.

My husband and I really enjoyed our visit at Café St-​Henri Émery. Their small little shop is simple and intimate, and their coffee tastes very good. Our barista was very passionate about coffee and explained us well the differences between the grains available. I recommend the latte with almond milk; it’s delicious! We will visit again for sure :)

I finally found a coffee shop in town that does pourovers and it did not disappoint! So tasty I didn’t need milk or sugar in my coffee and that happens so rarely. I must go back for a French press!

A quiet café just off St. Denis in the Latin Quarter on a quiet street called Rue Emery that you may not spot right away. Look for a teal round lit sign sticking out that says «café». The mocha was $ 4.75 which is comparable to most places in Montréal though the drink was a bit too smokey and dark and the chocolate was a bit gritty for my tastes. BUT, the barista I encountered here was super passionate about coffee and all things related. I was engaged in a very informative conversation with the barista; he told me a lot about the coffee scene here in Montréal and mentioned a few other recommendations. Loved his enthusiasm.

Good coffee, although the roast and espresso are a little on the darker side. Good if you like your coffee strong. Also, their sweet potato muffin was fantastic. Quiet atmosphere, so its good for reading but probably not for socializing.

La place est idéale pour passer l’après midi tranquille à étudier. Les lattés sont excellents!

Parce qu’après avoir passé une bonne nuit de sommeil, vous aurez besoin d’un bon café pour réveiller (surtout avec quelques heures de décalage horaire dans la tête); Parce qu’après avoir passé la moitié de la journée à visiter la ville, vous aurez besoin d’un bon café pour repartir pour la seconde demie-​journée; Parce que vous avez envie de faire une pause café réconfortante; Parce que…
Pour toutes ces bonnes raisons vous devriez vous rendre des cafés Saint-​Henri (il y a en 3 à Montréal).
Pour ma part, j’ai découvert les cafés Saint-​Henri Emery quelques jours après mon arrivée à Montréal en quête d’un endroit pour un petit déjeuner. Chez moi, le petit déjeuner doit s’accompagner d’un bon café, c’est pour cela que je me suis rendu au Café Saint-​Henri de la rue Emery.
Malgré une multitude de choses parfaites qui me donne envie d’accorder 5 étoiles à cet établissement, je n’en mettrai finalement que 4 car il m’a manqué un élément lors de ma visite: De quoi me faire un copieux petit déjeuner.
Bien que le lieu propose quelques petites choses à grignoter (pas si petites que cela d’ailleurs), il est clair que le Café St-​Henry n’est pas tourné vers la petite restauration ou les petits déjeuners. Toutefois, je me suis régalé d’un Muffin à la rhubarbe, nectarine et un ou 2 autres fruits lui donnant un goût très frais et estival.
Malgré cela, je suis certain que vous apprécierez ce café pour au moins toutes les raisons suivantes:
— le choix de café: d’excellente qualité, torréfié à Montréal dans un autre Saint-​Henri,
— le choix du mode de préparation: Filtre (bien sûr), Expresso mais aussi Cappuccino, Latté sans oubliez des variantes peut-​être moins évidente comme le Chemex ou l’Aeropress.
— la qualité des cafés préparés: Je n’ai jamais goûté un cappuccino si bon. Il était corsé et bien dosé en lait. Un vrai régal.
— L’accueil: surtout si comme ma femme et moi, vous êtes accueilli par le gérant de Saint-​Henri et qu’il a le temps de discuter un peu (voir beaucoup, à tel point que nous sommes sortis du café avec 3 itinéraires de ballades qui nous ont conduits dans des endroits très sympathiques qui feront l’objet de nouveau avis).
— La qualité des produits à grignoter qui accompagneront parfaitement votre café.
En bref, Saint-​Henry, n’est pas le meilleur endroit pour prendre un petit déjeuner copieux mais c’est certainement la meilleure place à Montréal pour déguster un excellent café parfaitement préparé.
A tester d’urgence si vous êtes amateur de café!

Hand pull, four grinders with beans of various origins, sweet espresso… Yes this is a place for the espresso hounds, coffee geeks, and pull purists. As someone else noted, your espresso comes with a glass of water (no plastic) and a cloth napkin. Tres elegant.
My major gripe: they open at 10. If they are striving to be an Institution, they need better hours. But perhaps the locals going to work are not in their audience?
In any case, there really isn’t much good coffee in this part of town, so if you’re an espresso hound finding yourself near Berri-​UQAM, this is your place.

Voici un authentique café. Pas un endroit hyper commercial du genre Starbuck. Chez St-​Henry Émery, on cultive l’art véritable de ce breuvage. Le menu est limité à quelques sorte de café et viennoiseries.
On vient ici pour déguster, non pour boire en vitesse. Le service est remarquable et le personnel attentionné. Le café est servi à votre table (ça devient rare dans les cafés, vous trouvez pas?) accompagné d’un verre d’eau et d’une petite nappe blanche.
J’adore tout simplement.

Petit café sympa, latté & expresso de qualité, délicieux croissant, belle petite place dans le Quartier Latin, juste en face du cinéma ! Wi-​fi gratuit ! Client depuis son ouverture en 2012. *(Latté + croissant = 7,05 $) *(Americano + croissant = 5,60 $) Argent comptant, débit ou carte de crédit acceptée.

Lovely little spot tucked down a pretty alley off lower St Denis, right where you might hope an exceptional café would be. Run by the St Henri folks, these beans are local and the roast is strong, clear and delicious. There’s not many who can manage to balance taking something like coffee extremely seriously with a long list of coffee menu items at the door, detailed questions asked by the skilled baristas, beverages delivered with cloth napkin, cool water, filtered coffee made in small batches for you with love; and love is the operative word. Not pretentious, not showy, just interested in care and craft and providing a wonderful experience.
Enjoy your coffee, relax in the old wooden chairs rescued from local schools, rubbed smooth by generations. Maybe think about things like craft, learning and love. Or maybe just enjoy that sweet good coffee buzz. Your call.

Pas trop loin de St-​Denis, se trouve le p’tit frère chic de St-​Henri micro torréfacteur. Et qu’il est beau! Dès qu’on y entre on voit beaucoup de petites attentions aux détails qui font de ce deuxième emplacement un vrai bijou qui doit être découvert avant qu’il devienne très bondé de gens! Le serveur/​barista, près du gramophone, nous attends avec un beau sourire, un chic veston et un noeud papillon coquin. Plusieurs petites tables et aussi les fameux bancs d’églises font de cette version du St-​Henri un café idéal pour jaser, pour travailler, pour lire ou bien faire un mot croisé. Un mélange parfait des années 50 – 60 à la culture café d’aujourd’hui! Et le café…délicieux! Mon latte goûtait plutôt la tire de Ste-​Catherine que ma mère faisait à la maison quand j’étais plus jeune. Le doux mélange du goût d’épices et de mélasse fait de ce latte un parfait réveil matin pour une journée ensoleillée qui sent l’automne!
