On a cold winter morning, I decided to order a hot chocolate here. I also took the opportunity to taste their vegan donuts. They have assorted flavours (matcha, rainbow sprinkles, red fruits & flowers, sprinkled candy, triple chocolate, vanilla). I'm so delighted, the vegan donuts are also gluten-free! They are baked instead of fried. The glaze is sooo sweet, it feels heavy to eat these for breakfast. 😵‍💫 The hot chocolate came out with pretty latte art. 😍 However, my throat felt scorched dry for the rest of the day after drinking it. 🔥 I suspect the roasted cacao to be the culprit.

Coffee, amazing. Avo breakfast sandwich, amazing. Service, amazing. Atmosphere, so good. Love everything about this cafe! Disclaimer: I work for 49th in Vancouver, so I may be a bit biased -- but, I would give 49th 5 stars across the board no matter what! :)

$9.09 for an iced mocha with oat milk... before tip. Really? This may be the most expensive & overpriced glass of mocha you can find in all of Montreal. I love this place, it's cozy & pretty but none of it justifies the price.

Average coffee, but a huge selection of different rolls, croissants & donuts. On a weekend, there may even be a decent queue closer to noon

Les beignets à la pistache étaient vraiment éclatés au sol. Ils sont 3 derrière le bar pour sortir en 15 min 2 chocolat, belle perf. Le service à la caisse était tout à fait convenable. Café fait pour les traders Tik tok qui prennent les places de 8h a 18h pour rentabiliser leur formation de Oussama Amar. Allez à Tim Hortons vous serez mieux reçu !

Absolutely love this place. I come here nearly everyday to work. May I request you guys add a keto/low carb bread option for your sandwiches? Your sandwiches look good but I can't have it cause I am usually on low carb diet.

10/10 donuts, caffeine, & atmosphere. Great spot to work as there is ample space. Limited outlets though. Baristas & FOH team is all very kind. In the summer there's a lovely patio to the side to sit under the sun.

Not sure why this gets such great reviews. Pastries & coffee are expensive & so so. Staff are nice. More cleanup on tables & in bathrooms is needed. Garbage can in handicapped bathroom overflowing onto ground & bathroom tissue everywhere. For this price I would expect much better.
