Saison is a dark roast blend inspired by Italian tradition, specifically crafted for espresso. It is designed to be easy to extract, offering a consistent and comforting experience at home. This classic coffee features a syrupy texture with prominent flavor notes of caramel and chocolate, making it an excellent choice for both straight espresso and lattes.
What began in 2014 as Le Pista Cafe Mobile, a bicycle powered coffee cart created by Maxime Richard, has grown into a Montreal roastery with three brick and mortar locations. The first permanent cafe opened on Beaubien Street in 2016, and roasting now takes place on a Loring S15 Falcon at the Rue Masson location. Cafe Pista maintains a farm to table mentality, building direct relationships with producers to ensure quality and traceability from origin to cup. In a uniquely Montreal twist, select locations transform into Vin Public wine bars on Thursday and Friday evenings, blending coffee culture with the city's vibrant social scene.
