Dispatch Coffee only opened in 2012 but has become a recognized leader of Montreal’s coffee scene. Many fans had a taste of the outstanding roasts at local independent cafés. Dispatch’s own main location is somewhat hidden in Mile-Ex, the up and coming neighbourhood that is starting to attracts outsiders. Dispatch also has a counter in the McConnell Engineering Building of McGill University.
That was before the recent opening of Dispatch’s most ambitious project yet: a café in the vibrant heart of the city, right on Boulevard St-Laurent at the corner of Avenue Duluth. The cafe’s large space underwent a complete gutting, and if the renovation went past its deadline, the result is stunning. There are two sections, with an elevated seating area taking half the space and a large rectangular working island welcoming the customers. Large bay windows and minimalist decor make the cafe seem even bigger.
