Review Summary

Columbus Café & Co is described as a place with good coffee and tasty treats, a relaxed atmosphere, and friendly staff. The space is large and often used for work, with plenty of seating and a nice terrace, but the music can be too loud at times.

Review Summary

Reviews of La Meunerie Urbaine largely praise the bakery for exceptional breads and pastries, with many calling the baguette, croissants, chocolatine, and sourdough among the best in Montreal and the in house coffee a good companion to the baked goods. The self serve area and friendly, efficient staff are frequently mentioned, along with a wide variety of breads, pastries, and desserts and the option to enjoy a sit down.

Lines can be long, but the overall sentiment remains highly positive with strong loyalty and a sense that this bakery is a destination in the Montreal area.View restaurant profile
