Cafe Castel - Montréal

I’m very surprised to see the great reviews for this café and I found it to be only average. My party of three stopped by for a quick coffee and although the atmosphere was nice, the coffee was bitter and the baklava was the worst I’ve ever had. Dry and flavourless is the only way to describe it and I’ve had baklava throughout Canada, Europe and the Mid-East. It may have been an off day for them, but I don’t think I’ll be back.

Best part of the BW Ville-Marie hotel. Takes you away from the city and brings you into a dreamy European cafe with large open windows for nice days. The staff is very pleasant and they are amazing at making art in your lattes :) I wish I could pick this cafe up and put it in my pocket for me to enjoy whenever I want. Open 7am-8pm.

I actually enjoy this place, normally I like a cappuccino but I sometimes like to experiment with other kind of coffee selection. I was a student when I discover this so many times I would spend my time there and work on school work. The thing that discourage me to give more stars is because its just a coffee shop, but throughout the school year is full of students (not that I don't like that, but it can get crowded really easily)

Called in as we were passing by. Impressed with the skills in creating pictures on the coffee. Going by the photos this is also impressing others. Must say also that the coffee was of good quality and the staff friendly.

Presumably run in conjunction with best western hotel? Nice atmosphere with enthusiastic staff, good place to to watch the world go buy with good coffee and food,in what is/was called a coffee bar, in essence.
