Buck 15 Espresso

Gotta give this place 5 stars. Interesting rotation of roasters being served. It’s gone from Detour to a roaster in Toronto I didn’t even know. Unfortunately, I didn’t retain their name as it wasn’t that catchy but it was quite good as a pour over. Curiously, they were also serving Stumptown the time I went most recently, for espresso drinks. I think that was just a temporary thing though. If anyone knows the name of the current TO roaster they’re serving, I’d appreciate a PM about it!
The menu looks really good as well, food-​wise. I don’t eat gluten so I haven’t ordered anything but the plates always look great and ppl seem rly happy with the toast based offerings.
Staff is also very nice, place is clean and bright and located centrally relative to the metro system… what else can I say? there’s wifi!

Great coffee and a super nice staff. I often will walk out of my way to come here. Yet to try any of the food but it all looks and smells unreal.

Attention to details (with food presentation, décor and all the way to the bathroom… did not mean to put this all in one sentence but oh well!). Modern minimalist artsy décor. Limited seating. Great coffee (says my better half). Try the Yummy smoked salmon bagel. High quality ingredients. Need more selection of teas (only 2 at time of review). A little on the pricey side but quality has a price I guess! That’s all you need to know.

Everthing we tried was so freshly prepared and so good, food deserves 5 stars! It’s a tiny place but 4 of us were able to sit down and enjoy our Sunday brunch. Service was great, the chef came and asked us if we were happy with everything.

Buck 15, home of elaborately prepared home brew coffee. There is some muttering and a lot of hand waiving involved.
The result? Really exceptional coffee.
Now if only they were open till like 6 or 6:30 pm.

Stopped by Buck 15 for some breakfast. Initially I wanted the Bagel with smoked salmon but they only serve that on weekend which was a bummer but I found something I really enjoyed! It’s called the Jammin Jerk Chicken Grilled Cheese. It was delicious, so cheesy and some amazing sauce and obviously the jerk chicken and a little bit of Prosciutto too! Great experience overall with great service and a nice atmosphere.

One of my favorite coffee spots while visiting Montréal. The space is beautifully designed, with a bold and colorful mural that adds a lot of artfulness to the place. The coffee selection is good, and the food all looks delicious. (And some was homemade). The staff was beyond friendly, and seemed happy to be there. The only downsides were my cold brew, which was on the weak side, and the temperature, which was hot and stuffy.

Le Buck 15, c’est la seule raison pourquoi je vais au marché Atwater, vraiment. J’ai beau te sortir n’importe quelle excuse, tu dois savoir qu’au fond, le sac de pomme que je «dois» aller acheter, c’est pour justifier le fait que j’ai fait un ride de métro de 20 minutes seulement pour pouvoir savourer un de leur fabuleux cappuccino.
Le local est tape-à-l’œil. Une grande murale arborant les dessins d’un artiste local est éclairée par les rayons du soleil, qui font leur chemin sans problème dans chaque recoin du café. Le propriétaire sera probablement celui qui vous accueillera à votre arrivée, un homme fier et souriant qui s’assurera de la qualité de votre boisson, que ce soit un espresso, un cold brew ou un pour-​over (le plus parfait que j’ai goûté, by the way). Par contre, le Buck15 né serait pas ce qu’il est sans son menu unique de tartines et pâtisseries. D’inspiration totalement californienne, on vous propose une tranche de pain épaisse surmontée de garnitures toutes aussi délectables au goût que pour les yeux. Avocat et œuf mollet; banane, beurre d’arachide, miel et pétales de rose; Ricotta et fruits de saison; et la liste continue. C’est sans oublier leur brownie fondant au caramel et sel de maldon, leur gâteau aux pistaches et à la rose, ou encore leur yogourt de bufflonne surmonté de granola maison. La touché finale? Le chef qui, systématiquement, sortira de sa cuisine pour timidement vous demander ce que vous pensez de votre nourriture. Si ça c’est pas assez pour vous faire craquer, dites-​le moi. Je suis tellement convaincue que vous tomberez en amour autant que moi avec le Buck15 que dans le tord, je vous donnerai mon sac de pomme: J’en voulais pas vraiment de toute façon.

This is a tiny coffee shop in strategic location. They have delicious toasts, my peanut butter banana one was so good that I would certainly like to try the rest. As for the coffee, after two latte experiments, I would say it is good, but not necessarily the best I have had. It may take some time until you get your coffee and toast as there seems to be always a line up when I’ve been there.
What I really like is the atmosphere of the place, the big community table and the smiling, friendly personnel, it all makes you feel this your neighbourhood coffee spot, where people know each other and leisurely stop to get their caffeine fix. The space is utilized to its maximum, designed in a practical and modern style. Very inviting and certainly I’ll be coming back.

This place is a slice of San Francisco, here in Montréal. Exquisite handcrafted food coming fresh from the kitchen with all the best ingredients Quebec has to offer. Fantastic brunch menu changes daily. Incredible pastries that look cookbook perfect. The coffee is outstanding and as warm as the vibe and the people of Buck15. LOVE THIS JOINT!

after being opened for some months, they closed down due to water work nearby and decided to go off the grid for what look like an eternity to the point that made you wonder if its really over but no, buck 15 is back and apparently better than before.
place is tiny and extremely clean and well lit kind of an ikea magazine ad. smaller than flocon espresso (which is now névé) with one community table and window seats. don’t despair, the terrace adds extra seats. for one, there’s a bench in front and for 2, on the side where you can now find some awesome tava murals, more seats are available.
now for coffee, its a bit confusing at first as basically the menu reads like this: espresso, pour over (or filtered), espresso with milk (3 sizes) and the rest which is tea, lemonade, hot chocolate and so.
if you want a cappuccino, you’d be looking at the espresso with milk size 5 ounces. a latte would be the bigger size while a cortado would be the smallest at 3 ounces. not easy at first but once you understand or ask, it makes sense.
along with my cortado, i got a bowl of sleepover porridge. the cortado was strong and quite flavorful. where it shine is that porridge. its like creamy, warm, a bit sweet with the honey and the topping which is fruits and nuts are fresh and in season. all together, it was heavenly and i had that warm fuzzy feeling inside.
as for service, once ordered, you find a seat and once its ready, Roy, the owner, brings it over. porridge took a while to get it (like 15 – 20 minutes) so if you want everything together, you could always ask them to hold off on coffee until your food is ready which is what i’m going to do next time as my cortado was almost lukewarm by the time i got the porridge.
price wise, coffee sits on the high end of indie coffee. with st-​henri nearby, its somewhat expected. as for food (porridge), it was $ 6. not every item is available during the week as some are part of the weekend brunch.
i’m definitely happy that they are back and its definitely a worthy stop if you’re in the neighborhood or heading down to atwater market

Location: On Notre-​Dame West, west of Atwater. The closest subway is Lionel-​Groulx. Street parking available.
The place: Though this café is on the small side (it has one community table), it runs high on energy. Minimal décor makes for a fresh, clean look, and the awesome mural by Stikki Peaches that showcases an entire wall, adds an eclectic and colourful vibrancy to the place. Love it! The concept here, is to create a friendly neighbourhood joint where friends and strangers alike can commune together over coffee. Don’t know your neighbour? Start up a convo!
The goods: Excellent coffee — the barista doesn’t mess around — he knows exactly what he’s doing. Great espresso and excellent latté. They’ve also got almond milk, which makes me happy.
Service: Roy, the owner, is über awesome. You can’t get friendlier service than Buck 15 unless you head over to Olimpico. Roy is on a mission to make every client feel welcome, and he takes the time to shoot the sh*t with everyone who walks in — he really just wants to get to know you. It’s kinda like the modern day version of Cheers.
Price point: Great — I can’t remember how much I paid for my latté so that probably means it was cheap.
Buck 15 is a great new addition to the Southwest. I plan to visit often and you should too.
