Downtown Montreal's La Formule Serves Its Last Espresso

Sad news for Downtown Montreal coffee lovers. La Formule, the "cozy espresso bar hidden inside a candy shop," has closed. The café made the announcement on Facebook on Canada Day: "It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closing of La Formule Espresso Bar’s current location. Our last operating day will be July 31st, 2015. Thank you to all who supported us throughout this past year. We love making coffee and we are currently looking and exploring other options. Stay tuned…"

The last day, alas, was in fact yesterday, as indicated by this farewell tweet.

Today is our last day serving coffee. THANK YOU to all that made our experience so memorable. Until we meet again... pic.twitter.com/UVmOdcPBRB
