Cafe Myriade | My first ever cafe crawling experience

Location:

Metro Station: Guy Concordia

Myriade: a classic, in my opinion. I’ve been to this location many times, however they have opened many other locations since Myriade has become very popular. I’ll be posting a separate review for their location at the Plateau in the near future.

 The first time I came here was the first ever time I ever cafe crawled - about a billion lattes and americanos ago. It was Fall 2015. My high school best friend and I decided pretend we were university students and went to the Myriade next to Guy Concordia. We felt pretty cool, until we got there and we realized just how packed it could get on a Thursday evening...

We both ordered lattes (mine was a pumpkin spice latte) and we were very excited. Being new at this, I even told the barista to do a “latte art design” on my drink (face palm). He was very shocked at my unusual question. I don’t really blame him. The lattes did come out beautiful though; I included the picture above.

They have a few seats inside but a bunch of tables outside. Lucky for us, there was one more place left outside... allowing us to enjoy our drinks in the cold... and the wind. 

Since it was our first time having such gorgeous drinks, we obviously took way too many pictures - probably distracting the actual coffee loving students who were trying to study. Meanwhile, I was content with the fact that my pumpkin spice latte actually tasted like pumpkin (sorry Starbucks).

Now that I actually am a Concordia student, I have to say that I do go here once in a while for a nice americano before my morning classes. There’s honestly nothing better than waking up a few minutes early to come to school some time before class and relax at a coffee shop. There’s something about that morning sunshine in a newly opened cafe, with the smell of fresh coffee filling the whole room. Something about that calming swing melodies swaying in my almost empty mind while sipping a hot cup of coffee. Something about the calm before the chaos of lunch in a very popular cafe. I live for it.

I love how this place has mainly a wooden aesthetic, it gives it a cozy feel. Also, they use 49th Parallel coffee!!! Such a bonus. Favorite beans. Life.
