Overall, Yeh! Yogourt Glacé et Café yields a mixed set of reviews: the concept is seen as really appealing while prices are described as a bit high; the taste is considered worth it by some, and the first experience was surprisingly high in quality. The staff is noted as friendly in several comments, with one mentioning that a staff member speaks Spanish. Confusion about the name appears in some remarks, noting that the restaurant is not called Yeh but Yaya. The frozen yogurt is described by some as decent but others say it is bland and unflavoured, missing mix-ins. A comparison with previous experiences suggests the product used to taste better, implying decline in flavor. A pricey iced tea is described as disappointing, despite polite service and no requested extras. Taken together, the impressions point to potential and pleasant elements, but inconsistency in product quality, pricing, and seasonal factors can affect the overall appeal.View restaurant profile

Le Parva is described as a small, pleasant cafe in a good location with welcoming staff, offering sandwiches, salads, pastries and tea that are generally praised, and an excellent latte at a very reasonable price, with Nutrinor milk highlighted as a high quality Quebec product. Coffee quality is mixed, with the espresso criticized for weak flavor and inconsistent preparation, possibly due to changes in suppliers or technique, while other reports suggest attempts to improve the coffee experience. The cafe is noted as being inside the library area and another spot in the hall is considered more interesting by some, with service experiences ranging from great prices and generous portions to long waits and unfriendly service on a November visit. Le Parva is also known for pastries that for several years included vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, but a change of pastry chef reportedly diminished the lineup, though locally produced ingredients and on site baking remain, and sandwiches can take extra time if reheated.View restaurant profile
