The sandwiches earn frequent praise for freshness and fullness, with crowd favorites including the mix, prosciutto, salami, mortadella and the veggie option; the bread is often highlighted as excellent. The chicken sandwich is singled out as very good and the sandwiches are sometimes said to be large enough for two. Desserts such as tiramisu and cheesecake receive compliments for creaminess and balance. Prices are a common talking point, with many enjoying the experience as a satisfying splurge but others feeling the sandwiches are a bit pricey for regular visits. Overall Nid Café comes across as a neighborhood gem, delivering generous portions, attentive service, and a strong coffee program that makes it worth returning to for a cozy outing with good vibes and reliable staff.View restaurant profile

Café Bubble Tea Desserts & Sweets Sandwiches Korean

(49)

Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG), Monkland Village

Review Summary

Cafe Kokiri is described as a cute cafe with authentic Korean coffee and a strong lineup of dishes like bulgogi banh mi and Korean hotdogs. Reviews praise its bingsu, including a strawberry version with chewy rice cakes and corn flakes, and a cream croffle that many find irresistible. Generous portions stand out, whether with the bulgogi banh mi, bulgogi rice bowl with spicy mayo, or tteokbokki that can be adjusted for spice. The cafe's cozy vibe, lo fi music, cute interior, and a photo booth contribute to a welcoming, study friendly atmosphere. Friendly, attentive service is noted as timely without being overbearing, helping guests feel comfortable and able to work or relax. A few items receive softer notes, such as the small cup for the small sized bingsu that feels uncomfortable, and a tteokbokki that may be too salty if the sugar is missing. Overall the reviews present Cafe Kokiri as an affordable, varied, and appealing spot for drinks, meals and desserts with a homey, comforting feel.View restaurant profile

Pizza Poutine Salads

Review Summary

Pizza Pinoli garners long standing praise from patrons who travel from New Brunswick to Montreal or pass through just to pick up the Tutto Misto pie, described as epic and perfect for meat lovers who enjoy a touch of spice. Reviewers call it the best pizza in the neighbourhood, with snowstorm deliveries mentioned as part of the reliable service, and the Friday night pie ritual at Pizza Pinoli appears to be a common habit. Favorites like the Quebecoise and the Americana are highlighted, and a French note confirms that the vegetarian pizza is generous, arrives in an acceptable time, and is very good. Price increases are noted, with a large Pesto Genovese cited as becoming hard to justify, leading some to wish for lower prices or more frequent visits.View restaurant profile
