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.

Pas le meilleur café pour étudier puisqu'il n'y a pas (ou très peu) de prises électriques disponibles.

I really like this place. I've been going there for a while now & I've never been disappointed. I just avoid peak hours so I don't have to wait 7 hours for my coffee. Other than that, it's an awesome place. Thank you.

Meilleurs Doughnuts à vie. Incroyablement tendre & les goûts prouvent que les ingrédients sont de qualité. Un no brainer.

This cafe almost feels like a hidden gem for students. A calm, bright safe haven for long study hours. Delicious coffee with prices on par with the current state of Montreal cafes (hello $7 iced latte). Enjoy the donuts earlier in the day, maybe skip near the end of the afternoon as they tend to get the tiniest bit hard. A favourite nonetheless!

The guy that took my order was jovial. However, I cannot understand how the person that made my matcha thought it was okay.

I got in because I saw the Uchi matcha on their front door. Beautifully green & delicious looking. Therefore I ordered it.

What was given to me wasn't matcha, it was milk. I was hesitant taking it because it looked so pale, the « barista » looked at the drink & paper & said « ice matcha latte »

I took it, because « what if their matcha is strong ? » « I don't want to be a Karen » well now I had to drink milk with a tiny hint of matcha (an after taste if we can call it that). The reason I felt the need to write this review is that I had to pay 8$ (no tips) for this matcha. Why was I given milk? Why did the barista look at that & thought it was okay to serve…

Great location & nice atmosphere. It's great place if you want to work or hang out. It's a bit pricey.
