Espresso Bar 1720 is described as a cozy, welcoming cafe with excellent espresso and a strong pastry selection, especially apricot and pistachio croissants, and a calm vibe that makes it easy to work or chat, with two floors, wifi, and a pleasant outdoor seating area; the residential location keeps it reasonably quiet and not overly crowded, inviting longer visits; the staff are consistently friendly and attentive, and the focus on quality shows in the well made drinks and thoughtful service; while the coffee style is more traditional than the flashy third wave trend, many praise the balanced espresso and the overall experience as a little daily escape to Italy; some comments mention a desire for more sandwich options or slight variation in drinks such as latte art, but the place remains a highly recommended spot to start the day or relax with pastries.View restaurant profile

Reviews describe Brûlerie Urbaine as a cozy, characterful spot with a strong coffee program and generous brunch portions, where dishes like poutine, Eggs Benedict and wraps are enjoyed, salads with a homey dressing and home fries hit the mark, and the space with a terrace or interior plus a small kids area adds to the appeal. The atmosphere and service are repeatedly praised for friendliness, reasonable prices, and good value, with many highlights about the coffee and welcoming staff.
