Good coffee. The matcha is good, but the specialty matcha with the fruit is not great. The pastries are good, but we should have asked to have it heated up.

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.

Possibly one of the best cafés in the Old Port area: great coffee & pastries, beautiful interior decoration, spacious, friendly service. Expect a line up at rush hour. Highly recommended.

The ambiance was nice. The service was okay. The coffee & chocolate were delicious. The pastries are delicious too. However, the only inconvenience is that the pastries can't be reheated so they're cold or hard.

Many sitting places to take a coffee & pastries. They have so many different options & interesting flavours. I got pudding chômeur & it was GOOD. I find a price is ok for the size of donut, good customer service & relaxing ambiance.

Excellent coffee but on the expensive side, almost 8$ for a cortado, which is much more than other coffees places around. They have also fresh pastries from the bakery in the back. They have a lot of places to work or study with plugs everywhere, they also have a great terrace! Overall its a great place!!

A reasonable place for a quick bite. You can also observe the baking process going on behind glass doors. Sandwich, house made pastries & bagels are available.
