NOUS SOMMES CAFE — Restaurant in Montreal

Located in the heart of the charming pedestrian Prince-Arthur Street, Nous sommes café has quickly become a must-visit spot for coffee lovers. This local gem combines simplicity, elegance, and excellence in every cup. Whether you’re just passing through or a neighborhood regular, stopping here is a must.

The espresso is simply outstanding: well-balanced roast, rich aroma, and silky texture. The matcha is equally impressive—vibrant, creamy, and never bitter—a rare find in Montreal. The service is warm and attentive, always delivered with a smile. Each morning, locals drop by for a coffee and croissant on their way to work, or take a moment to sit outside and enjoy the peaceful vibe.

The café itself is bright and beautifully designed, inviting you to take a well-deserved break. It’s a perfect example of a community-rooted business that adds soul to the neighborhood. More than just a coffee shop, Nous sommes café is a cozy meeting point, a place you can trust for quality and atmosphere. On top of it they always have an inspiring sentence on the cup to begin the day with...

You know how you put on those Korean cafe ASMR videos on Youtube and then pretend you're in Korea living life? No? Just me? Oh.

Ive been dying to go to a Korean style cafe and there aren't really any in the States near me :( but Nous Sommes had me surprised even with all the other awesome French cafes.

I got the long coveted Dalgona latte, and I finally get the hype. At first, it tastes like a regular latte, but as the dalgona pieces melt, the sweet, caramelized flavor subtly mixes in. I also ate the candy pieces by itself LOL.

The matcha strawberry was also one of the best I had, the matcha was high quality (look at the color!) and the strawberry purée was made with real fruit and was almost jammy.

The tiramisu was a nice tiny dessert, but I wish I tried their matcha one. Im also glad my man got the earl grey cookie; the tea flavor wasn't overpowering, and the cream cheese(?) center added a nice touch (it reminded me of a cheese foam tea in cookie form!)

The cafe is small and minimalist (which is cool) but still very cozy!! The baristas were also...

Beautiful interior. Space is super clean and picturesque. Barista on duty was friendly. Lemon ginger tea and the oreo cookie were really delicious. However, the mocha fell a little short. I thought I'd give it a shot after hearing it was good, despite knowing they use chocolate syrup instead of real chocolate. In hindsight, I should have opted for something else (especially because I know I personally prefer real chocolate in my mocha's). At $7 plus tip it didn't live up to my expectation. Overall, I would still recommend this place as I'm sure their other coffee based drinks would be a lot better. They have a really nice area upstairs to study...
