The cafe offers a beautiful, spacious, and welcoming atmosphere that makes it a popular destination for both remote work and social gatherings.

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.

Coffee taste burnt & bitter lately. & current trend of the type of customers coming here are making this place unpleasant now. & let's not even start with the attitude & bad service from the new workers.

I went last Saturday & ordered a mocha. First, the customer service was terrible. I said my name clearly, & the cashier gave me a completely different name. The service was slow, there were many customers waiting for their orders, & on top of that, they had the wrong names. The mocha was awful-bitter, expensive, & tasteless.

Je suis arrivée avec ma soeur 30 minutes avant la fermeture (je n'étais pas au courant des horaires), il n'y avait plus rien à manger, & quand j'ai demandé si on pouvait manger on m'a mal répondu & on m'a très mal regardée. On a prit deux chocolats chaud qui était pas chaud & sans sucre. C'est dommage de l'extérieur sa donne envie mais quand j'y vais j'ai le droit à des étagères vides. Je n'y retournerais pas.

I was invited by a friend. Had the small latte & a glazed (old fashioned) doughnut. Both were awesome. Shall definitely return. The place was packed by the way.

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.
