Dispatch Coffee

It is the best café in Montréal. They are at a different level. Another league. I am an espresso lover and their espresso is heaven. Everything is well balanced.

just an update since dispatch did introduce new roasts because the fucking mass complained too much about this is not coffee, what some call old school roast which is chocolate hazelnut and caramel notes.
is it as good as old dispatch? i’d say no but its still better than most. i prefer their original roasts as its more complex and there’s layers of flavors compare to old school which is just chocolate and a stronger coffee taste.
anyway, still a pleasure to be in the hidden gem area that is mile-​ex

I’m still dreaming of going back there, possibly the best coffee I’ve had in Montréal!

5 months after my first visit, it’s still cool af. It’s hip, simple, welcoming with a smile. Switching out of overdrive and into Zen gear. This is why I love Montréal

J’aime beaucoup cette petite place bien cachée dans un quartier industriel. Leurs espresso sont exactement comme je les aime et on y trouve une petite sélection de «sweet treats» qui sont toujours très bons. C’est le genre d’endroit où je né passé jamais «par là» mais pour lequel des fois je me lève le matin en me disant «Hey, j’ai l’goût d’un dispatch café ! «.

J’aime beaucoup le Dispatch Coffee.
En été, l’endroit est très agréable, ouvert vers l’extérieur avec la terrasse au soleil. Très bel endroit!
Dans le Mile-​Ex, non loin du marché Jean Talon, l’endroit vaut le détour.
Le café est excellent et le service agréable.
Une adresse à retenir!

A coffee geek’s treat. This place knows its coffee. My Pourover was perfect. The space is chic and airy. The staff was very friendly. There aren’t a lot of seats inside but the outside had more. I love how tucked away it is. It’s well worth finding. Oh, and they have homemade nut milk.

This is easily the best cold brew in Canada. the desserts are so-​so and the food is pretty much non existent but the cold brewed coffee is to die for
I just wish they offered different sizes.

We can all agree their coffee is amazing, but can I tell you about their tasty toasts? I was recently visiting Montréal and had the pleasure of dropping in on Dispatch Coffee at their newest location. I previously enjoyed their pop up location at McGill. This location continues to serve their house roasted coffee and artisan hot chocolate — but it also has the yummiest egg salad toasts I have ever tasted. I want to mention how I am not usually a fan of egg salad — too many egg salad sandwiches for lunch when I was growing up — but when I saw someone else have a rye toast with egg salad, I knew I wanted to try it. I wasn’t disappointed. It was fresh, delicious, substantial, with a nice dusting of pepper and salt. Yummy. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The staff are so friendly and warm — with huge welcoming smiles on their faces. The décor is simple and appealing. If you take a picture with their black walls in the background, the people in the picture look amazing. Plenty of street parking. I would highly recommend Dispatch Coffee. Thanks for opening up a store.

Dispatch on St. Zotique is one of my favourite third-​wave café discoveries in Montréal.
Located a little out of the way in Parc-​Ex near Alexandraplatz bar, Dispatch is tucked-​away right next to Restaurant Manitoba. Their baristas are really excellent and made me probably the most ‘perfect’ latte I have seen in Montréal, A+. Another glowing star for Dispatch is that they roast their own beans and like Micro-​Torrefacteur St. Henri you can actually see the machinery adjacent to the café space. They sell bags for $ 14.50 and $ 18.00 for 250g and 350g, respectively.
The décor is minimal, monochrome, and one of the few spaces in Montréal with a concrete floor. Old battered wood floors are hard to escape in Montréal and it’s really refreshing to see Dispatch take design as seriously as their coffee. Also, they have very nice handmade ceramic mugs, vaguely Japanese and a little Monocle.
The only minor problem with Dispatch is that there isn’t a ton of seating (maybe 5 bar seats and 8 – 10 seats elsewhere). They do have patio seating, though, which was lovely on a warm day. Overall, highly recommended.

If your a scouting agent for films or shows and you need the ultimate Hipster location shot– look no further. Comes complete with industrial-​chic theme, gender neutral staff, tight jeaned 20 and 30 something clientele and you won’t even need to bring the fixies or knock off vespas to park in front for the outside shot– it’s all set up for you at all hours.
Oh– and you can get a decent coffee too.

Possibly the best coffee shop in Montréal, this place has it all. They offer a wide variety of single-​origin coffees as pour-​overs, batch drip or espresso. They roast in-​house and change their selection often. The staff is very approachable and friendly, showing a lot of interest in talking coffee.

For purposes of this spot staying under the radar the thought of a 1 star crossed my mind but I’d be a traitor and a fool. Dispatch coffee + toast has become a Sunday morning ritual with me, my man and my dog. Well doesn’t that sound like a Kodak moment. The coffee is superb. Menu superb. Toast options come both sweet and savoury. I go for the egg, fennel and dill every time. But you, do you.

Very interesting coffee shop on an area of St Zotique that is becoming more hipster cool. What I can appreciate is that here they are attempting to change the coffee scene.
Many countries do coffee different. Vietnamese drink a coffee that is like strong espresso than mixed with ice and condensed milk it forms a delicious iced coffee drink. Italians who some may say invented the modern day Starbucks style focus on a very strong espresso or mix milk to form cappuccino. Cubans mix a heaping spoonful of sugar in espresso and call it Cuban coffee. In Quebec and Canada Tim Hortons really influences coffee culture by serving a medium dark roast and mixing in their cream and sugar to make for a creamy coffee. Bleh… Tims I try to drink as minimal as possible!
Here at Dispatch they do a different roast and it’s more of a green roast or lighter roast. Flavour is much more herb like and infuses almost a grain or cereal note. I drank it with no cream or sugar to get the whole taste but it tasted a bit weak to me. If you get a bag of their freshly roasted ground coffee it somewhat resembles fresh marijuana and thus gives off a different flavour.
It’s different from other coffee places but I’m not so certain I love it but will concur it’s original. I usually prefer an extremely strong Italian espresso roast.
While at our Elite visit Khai mentioned to try one of their fresh made Oreos so I went with one. Decadent, home made and awesome. I could have eaten 2 – 3 of them but that would be piggly!
The scene here is a bit sterile and mini warehouse feel. People are hanging out coffee house style with computers working or chilling.

I think this place is fun and different, I love that they have real coffee and seem so passionate about what they do. The décor inside is contemporary industrial meets chem lab. It’s super clean and the people working here are sweet. The homemade soft Oreo cookie is super tasty — too sweet for my liking but I never eat the centre of Oreos (I know it’s the «best part» but not for my palette lol) but I would highly recommend trying one.
A special note — I adored their complementary water jugs and glasses, they really nailed every detail in this place.

Delicious coffee, friendly faces, plenty of bike parking and places to tie up your dog, free wifi, open space and delicious things on toast! I love it here :)

Great coffee bar. Coffee tastes as good as what we can find in some of my favourite mtl expresso bars. Excellent service. Did not have oreo cookie but they looked delicious. Location is a little hard to find on St-​Zotique. Unique machines.

I am thrilled for Chrissy and the Dispatch team for the opening of their flagship! The space is airy with a minimal touch which is what Montréal 3^rd wave coffee shops is all about. Chrissy and staff are also very knowledgeable about their coffee and I can’t wait till they start roasting their own beans! I can’t recomend this place enough. Are you still reading this?.. What you waiting for go!!!
