Become a barista for a day on this third-wave coffee tour. Roast, pull and taste your way through the city while learning about single-origin beans. Explore the history of coffee around the world and in Montreal with an expert guide. Visit cafés to taste and learn about different ways of brewing everything from cappuccino to cold brew. Visit a micro-roastery for a mini roasting class. And enjoy snacks, crudités and pastries to accompany your tastings.

Your tour begins at Café Replika where you’ll meet your guide. After listening to an overview of the rich history of coffee in Montreal, you’ll taste Turkish coffee and learn about the Arab and Muslims origins of the drink. Then it's off to a café where cold brew comes mixed with anything from tonic water to lemonade. There, you'll dive into the first, second, third and fourth waves of coffee, exploring different types of beans, terroir and eco-friendly farming methods.

Next, you'll lounge over an espresso martini and snacks before heading to a demo of how to pull the perfect espresso shot with a pro. To end, you'll take a mini-course in coffee bean roasting, cupping and identifying coffee profiles by taste and smell.

You’ll leave the tour full of knowledge (and caffeine!) with a new appreciation for coffee as well as for Montreal’s Mile End, Little Italy and Plateau neighbourhoods.
