the cashier didn't let us know flat white didn't come with iced option but barista was nice enough to remake a latte. They also didn't have decaf beans. We went on July 1st on the hotest day but the cafe was really hot which caused all the frosting on our donuts to melt. The kid made a big mess from the frosting😕

Ce n'est plus comme avant:

J'attends depuis fin 2024 que mon beigne préféré revient. C'était le'Strawberry Cheesecake' je pense (peut être j'ai même oublié le nom, mais pas le goût) & à chaque fois je demande si on l'aura de nouveau mais ils n'ont aucune idée...
Mais la vraie raison de cet avis est que c'est la quatrième fois que je demande pour du café filtre & que leur réponse c'est que'la machine est brisée'. Ça fait presque un mois déjà !

Beau décor pour bien débuter la journée avec un bon café & une pâtisserie. Service un peu lent à mon goût.

Meilleur café en ville ! Excellente emplacement, pas loin du Vieux-Port & vraiment idéal pour des travaux à faire sur le laptop au même lire. Sinon excellente qualité des produits. Je suis vraiment pas déçu, le service est impeccable ainsi que le staff.

Pire place. Pas de café décaf & j'ai dû attendre 30 minutes… pour un croissant. (Que je n'ai finalement jamais eu parce que j'ai quitté, trop serrée par le temps, après être retournée les voir au comptoir pour les aviser.) Je précise que ça m'a coûté une vingtaine de dollars pour un chocolat chaud & ledit croissant que je n'ai jamais eu.

Nice cozy cafe. I like the seating arrangement. There are some nice tucked-away tables in the corners around the cafe, less distraction.

I ordered a mocha to go. Unfortunately, it wasn't sweet enough to my liking. At first, I thought all the syrup was at the bottom & that the barista hadn't swirled/mixed thoroughly with the steamed milk... Alas, nothing there either. Tasted more like a regular latte. Also, not sure what the latte art design was supposed to be.....

Service was meh. Girl at the counter was very professional & helpful. The baristas making the drinks however were too busy chit-chatting with each other & not making any effort to acknowledge their customers. Simply called out the names & left the drinks on the counter without eye contact or greeting them.

I didn't try the donuts but I passed by the pastries & saw some really fancy-looking ones. Might have to give them a try next time I come back.
