I have news I've been waiting a long time to share. Our Montreal-based Cafe Ralia is open, and on November 30th our second location opens its doors at 525 Rosemont, right in front of the Rosemont metro. We are launching two cafes with one big celebration, and you are invited.
So what is Cafe Ralia?
And why was I crazy enough to open two of them now?
Let's start with what Cafe Ralia is. Simply put, AMAZING COFFEE. The coffee is the reason people keep coming back. Our baristas are top talents in this craft. From the farmer who waits years for a first harvest, to the roaster, to the barista who hands you your cup, every person in that chain matters to us, and I bet you can taste it. Come for a latte you want to dive into, or sit down with a pour over when you have twenty minutes and time to explore the depths of our coffee experience.
Here's what one of our first guests had to say:
"Great new cafe where the staff really know how to make a great coffee! I enjoyed sitting down at the place which has a nice Parisian cafe feel to it." ★★★★★ Shannon S., Google review
Food that supports your day
Many of you know me from my years as a sports nutritionist and founder of Eat This for Performance, where I worked with elite athletes. I bring all of that into this menu. Our food isn't "healthy" or "unhealthy." Every item has a power, and we tell you what it is so you can choose what supports your day. Expect real food that fuels you, mini pastries made by local bakers, and a drink menu made for the kids and parents who care about sugar content.
