We stopped by for a quick bite for breakfast/brunch. They only have a few items for dining, but it was still worth the visit. The coffee was fantastic, & the breakfast items (mainly breakfast sandwiches) were yummy. The donuts were also delicious: perfectly soft & not too sweet. They were also massive! We saw them being made fresh in-house. The space is bright & airy with a decent amount of seating, but it can get busy. There was a line when we went, but it moved fairly quickly.

Pretty coffee shop in old Montreal with great iced lattes. For the donuts, I'd personally go for the vanilla glaze!

La cadre est sympa dans ce café à donuts & les donuts sont bons, même si un peu trop gros & gras à mon goût. Mais cela conviendra sûrement aux plus gourmand.e.s !

A warning for any light coffee drinkers, this one has a KICK. I love strong coffee so their cappuccino hit the spot. The ambiance is very nice, very spacious, & has separate areas with different ambiances to pick where you'd like to sit. I have tried their doughnuts but I couldn't take my eyes off them because they were so pretty. The avocado toast was good but they have many other options for brunch that may be better.

Aillant testé tous les donuts en ville voici mon avis sur les 2 saveurs que j'ai goûté ici : *Donut beurre d'arachide remplie de confiture 2/5 *Donut fraise 1/5 Déçu du goût trop cher pas original !!
