| - My girlfriend and I stumbled across Pikolo - open just three weeks - while she was looking for great coffee in Montreal.
She wasn't disappointed. I'm not a coffee fan, but Daniela - a coffee snob - sighed in happiness at her first sip, and I thoroughly enjoyed the chai tea latte I had. The chocolate banana bread was spectacular and spicy (with cloves, all spice, and nutmeg), and is baked by proprietor Marie-Eve herself.
Marie-Eve is super friendly and cut her teeth on third-wave coffee in Australia. She's incredibly passionate about coffee and Pikolo feels cool and friendly without being pretentious. The space is beautiful, with high ceilings, dark wood, tons of light, and metal fixtures. Really a great place to get some work done, sip a delicious hot bevvy, or write a yelp review ;)
If we lived this wonderful city, this would be my go-to coffee shop. I have no doubt Pikolo is going to be a fixture of the Montreal coffee shop scene for a long time.
