Welcome to Cafe Myriade.
We are a handful of coffee shops in Montreal with our first OG cafe having opened on 1432 rue Mackay in 2008. Our baked goods are all made locally in Montreal and delivered every morning which include freshly baked croissants from Hof Kelsten and delicious scones from Candeur. There isn’t a right or wrong approach to trying to make coffee better, and we learn new things about brewing all the time. More than anything, we have fun and don’t take ourselves too seriously. We make pretty good coffee and sometimes we play really bad music but it’s also usually pretty good.
Henrietta’s creamy milk is the milk of choice for latte art competitions. Produced by cows fed high-quality fodder and grains from Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. The milk has zero additives whatsoever, preserving the integrity of its natural flavour.
We also have a wide array of alternative milks such as soy, almond and of course oat. These alternative milks have baristas in mind to achieve the perfect micro-foam, thickness and desired sweetness. We work with Aurelia, Pacific Foods, and Oatly in order to have vegan and glutton free options available.
The majority of coffee we serve is sourced and roasted locally by Myriade Roasting Co. located in St. Henri. For years, Myriade Roasting Co. has established relationships with producers in many coffee-growing nations to improve the quality of coffee and pay a substantial premium above Fair-Trade prices for green coffee. We build our menu based on the seasonality of these producing countries, offering a rotating selection of origins that change regularly. We receive fresh roasted coffee on Monday morning that was roasted minutes away from our cafes over the weekend.
We also frequently feature coffee from a selection of guest roasters, and we always try to keep it local. They share the same values as Myriade, and it’s with great pleasure that we continue to make homegrown, quality-focused roasters available to our clients. This is all made possible by working alongside the growing array of local roasters thanks in part to the creation of Montreal’s very first roasting co-op Canadian Roasting Society by trailblazers Andy Kyres (Canadian Roasting Society) and Scott Rao (Cafe Myriade). This has brought forth a myriad of talented roasters in Montreal allowing us to have more local options and raising the bar for the coffee industry.
