Depends what your taste is. I'm not a huge fan of third wave; I'd rather opt for old school Italian stuff. You can't go wrong with Olimpico or Club Social on St-Viateur, Caffé San Simeon on Dante.

Yeah, I don't care much for the highest grade beans. I'm happy with a robusta blend so long as it's extracted well. Thanks for the suggestions!
I'm a third wave guy so my go-tos are;
Helico
Aube
Paquebot
Pista
Jato
Yo&Co
Escape Lab
Might be a little too funky for you but it definitely won't be whatever the hell they served you in that cup.
I'm assuming you're not really willing to travel around to get an espresso so perhaps a general idea of which neighborhood you're in might help?
Otherwise as other have suggested a very traditional one is Olimpico, they have a couple of location around now (original is in the Mile End).
Oh I travel. Turns out I've been to Olimpico the last time I was here in 2018. Got pics of the cat at the patio:
I'll definitely go there again!
Caveat being that I'm not a coffee drinker, but my former co-worker who was a huge coffee snob used to drive across town to get his coffee at the roastery inside the Atwater Market.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'm saved!
