Presse Café, 1001 Boulevard De Maisonneuve Ouest, Montreal

Coffee shops for me are not about grab and go. They are about sitting back and relaxing in a comfy chair with a warm brew and a sweet treat.

So I was really thrilled when this chain shop renovated and brought in the atmosphere! The new look reminded me of Veritas — the stores are not related except that they are both coffee shops. Big easy chairs, plenty of reading material in English and French, and delectable goodies to go with simply good coffee. Ask for your stampie card and collect towards a free coffee!

This outlet also sells sandwiches and salads. On a nice day there are tables out on the sidewalk.
