What is Café Balade?
Café Balade is damn good specialty coffee made with love by master roasters in Montreal. Café Balade is also your faithful walking companion, your ally for reflection and introspection. It gives you the creative energy and focus you need, while offering you the comfort and encouragement of a friend.
Much more than a simple drink, it is the one that accompanies you and allows you to refocus on the winding path of life. This comrade who, rain or shine, will complete you in each of your walks.
Behind Café Balade
Hi, I’m Em! I’m passionate about coffee, reading, and human connections. For several years, I’ve wanted to encapsulate what coffee represents to me. At the age of 18, I was already saying that my dream retirement would be to own a café where people could come to study, read, connect, fall in love, or simply confide in each other.
Before launching Café Balade, I embarked on many different paths, always with a cup of coffee in hand. I studied at university, worked a 9-to-5 office job, and eventually worked as a content creator for over 10 years. I alternated between caramel-latte-for-light-days and filter-coffee-for-doses-of-courage. Through all these stages of my life, coffee has accompanied me, serving as a constant source of courage and comfort.
I’m launching Café Balade in hopes of offering you this safe space, this bubble that reconnects you with yourself and others. May Café Balade accompany you and offer introspection, creativity, kindness, and motivation along the way.
