Cafe 8 oz is the dream project of Claude-Sophie Barsalo and Xavier Girard. The couple had always wanted to open a cafe and finally did with Cafe 8 oz, located on Saint-Hubert Street in Rosement-La-Petite-Patrie. The business reflects the couple — calm and warm — but mostly, it's all about good coffee.
Claude-Sophie and Xavier met in a cafe where they were both working. As a film editor, she has always had an entrepreneurial streak and Xavier had been head waiter in a large Montreal restaurant. It was strictly by chance that the couple embarked on an adventure and in November 2014 opened their cafe. "8 oz" refers to the couple's lucky number.
We are very lucky to have so many incredible independent coffee houses in this city. If you’re looking for a cup of joe made with care and craftsmanship, you have many options to choose from.
