Tunnel Espresso Bar

The iced chai latte here is delicious!! It has the perfect amount of chai flavor and a smoothness to it. I also tried the cronut with blueberry preserve and a blueberry sugar sprinkle. It tasted so fresh, mind you it was 3:30 in the afternoon so I didn't have high hopes. Yet it tasted like it had just been made, giving it the perfect amount of flakes. I didn't get to try the other pastries but the brownies looked amazing too. The staff was also very helpful and welcoming and they take covid precautions.

Inexpensive, quick coffee spot underground - for the commuters and those wanting something fast but delicious. I grabbed a misto because I haven't heard of it honestly, it was decent - the coffee here is smooth and not bitter so that's a plus, and the service was quick so I feel like everything lines up, go here if you need a coffee fix and it's not out of your way!

Been hoping to come here for a long time now as an avid follower of their IG. This tiny gem found in a hole in the wall is quite easy to miss within the connecting tunnel between the Eaton Center and PVM... but it's worth the stop.

The coffee is prepared 1 foot from your face. Smells great! This is where they prepare the magic to coffee aficionados. I went with their cappuccino to and it was great. It was strong, just the way I like them and the blend/flavor was memorable even as I type this review.

My only issue was the price-tag. At this point I'll have to agree with other reviews that paying $5 for a cappuccino is a bit.... of a stretch. I don't know what kind of rent it costs for this tiny place in a tunnel but HOT DAMN. Lower that price! I think on consequent visits I'll go for that quick caffeine bump in the form of an espresso, they were far more reasonably priced.

Went there twice and both times coffee was horrible! Espresso was weak and cappuccino was flavorless.
Totally overated!

No matter what anyone says, working a 9-5 job is not always fun and rarely ever lets you leave at 5. The thing that gets most people through the day is a nice hot cup of coffee. Because of this, there is no shortage of places to get coffee in the downtown core especially if you don't care about the quality of what you are drinking and you just want to stay awake long enough to get through the day. But for those that truly love coffee and want a rich delicious espresso based drink there is nowhere better than Tunnel.

I go to Tunnel daily and there is never a time it isn't busy. This tiny hole in the wall is famous in the downtown core and for good reason! Not only does it make the best espresso based beverages it also has an amazing staff that always takes their time to prepare your beverage masterfully and converse with you.

I am not going to lie it is pricy but for people who truly love and appreciate coffee there is no better place in Downtown Montreal, it is worth every penny.

Phil & Sebastian coffee from Calgary, and cool guys making the coffee!
Very unsual location but convenient if you work at eaton center! I will come back!!

Very good coffee. The baristas are obviously experts and know what they're doing. The service is pretty fast too considering the traffic they get during peek hours. Definitely worth getting your coffee from them before going to work if you have a couple of minutes to spare.

Anyone who walks through the tunnel connecting the Eaton Centre and PVM knows that this small and - let's face it - boring strip has seen its share of boutiques and food joints opening and closing in no time. Heck, even the Tim Hortons closed down a while back! Needless to say, this place has truly brightened up a spot that needed its share of TLC and has become popular with good reason.

The owner, who started up 2 years ago working alone every day and selling (delicious) pastries made by his mom now attracts lineups of business men and women at lunch time. Staff of baristas has since then expanded and the team is delightful. Most importantly, the coffee is great. This place is awesome and definitely here to stay (a second Tunnel Espresso Bar has since opened at Peel subway station).

Two years and about a dozen lattes later, I continue to adore this place. Pikolo remains my very favourite in town, but I think Tunnel still has the best coffee in the downtown core -- better than the new Myriade in the basement of Club Monaco, but not counting the original Myriade on Mackay by Concordia a bit west of the core (more evenly matched). Delicious macadamia nut and white chocolate cookies. Today they were using Detour's Dark Horse beans for their espresso, the same beans served at the Dark Horse cafés in Toronto. As much as I like Dark Horse on Spadina, Tunnel did it better. For those who sweat the small stuff, their payment card reader has an actually functional PayPass tap sensor which keeps the line moving speedily.

This place is pretty cool pass by everyday and usually a line up. If you like super strong espresso they make a mean one for around 2$.
