Don’t be fooled by the initial appearance of what looks to be merely another espresso spot recently opened on St. Catherine St. directly across from the Paramount Famous Players Cinema.
The red, black, and white signature design of Segafredo Zanetti is a unique European concept called a “spuntino” bar. Serving gourmet lunches and their own brand of espresso by day; they morph into a very cool cocktail lounge at night replete with many types of martinis and high-end offerings. They plan to host live jazz bands and fashion shows to cater to the ultra-hip urban cool cat. Montreal is the first Canadian city to host this global franchise, and this spot is the first completely non-smoking establishment to open in this town.
The Cafe has been enjoying a very successful soft opening over the past few weeks; their Grand Opening is slated for Sept. 29th where the great DJ “Kid Koala” will kick it up a notch. We’ll fill you in on all the details with a review soon. - S.C. |

My girlfriends and I had a great experience at Segafredo. We had coffee there on Friday afternoon and it was delicious, best I have had since Italy and then for breakfast on the Saturday which we were very pleased with. Both times the service was great and friendly. I would def go again and have told me friends about it.

I went in here because it looked cool. Place was dead. I figured out why real quick: (1) Staff can't make a good coffee (too much milk and way too much esspresso). (2) Sandwiches were way overpriced. My meal cost $12.50 - panini and capuccino usually cost $6.50 at Cafe Creme. I spoke with manager - some guy named Mike Schwartz who was dressed in a dark suit like he was running a funeral home. He offerred to sell me a Segafredo franchise. I asked how many had he sold so far... zero. I understand why. I passed by for happy hour one day... don't waste your time it's dead (unless you're a bankruptcy lawyer then it could be time well spent).

We went for a casual night before my girlfriends andi went out. The waiters were excellent offering us a slew of recommendations on cocktails and food to try. The environment was very nice with an unusual smooth feel. We will be back for sure and the non-smoking was a real pleasure.
Cheers
