Definitely the place to be!
If you are looking for a great brunch place with high quality taste & creative culinary, this is the place to be.
Ive been here several times & so far no other place beats it!!
Their specialties are the Benedicts & the lattés (but also everything else is super good & special)
I recommend taking any of the egg benedict choices & the bueno latte (hot) & the tiramisu latte (frappe)
So far we ve tried the Benedicts, the shakshouka, the croque mr & croque mme & different lattes. Everything is super good. There is definitely no disappointment in this place.
The service is remarkable!! The staff is always smiling, happy & super nice!!
Even when the place is overly crowded they will make sure to accommodate all your needs & make sure you're hapoy & satisfied! They would never accept you leaving unhappy for anythg!
Great place for brunch! The food looks amazing & tastes even better. We had the salmon Benedict, shakshuka, croque madame, & the special pain perdu. The drinks, especially the tiramisu & Bueno lattes, were delicious. Service was great - a small delay in drinks, but the manager offered us a complimentary cocktail. Highly recommend!
Incroyable brunch avec des recettes classiques revisitées (ex: oeufs Bénédictes jambon/asperge, saumon ou croque madame) & coup de coeur pour les OEufs Beurre Noisette Saumon & les croquettes d'Aubergine 🥰 Je recommande ++ !

Cute little brunch spot on Laurier! We arrived at 9:30 with no lineup, but by the time we left, there was a long line, so come early if you don't want to wait. It's a small restaurant (~30 seats inside) with a nice terrace. Even though they were busy, the service was friendly & we never felt rushed.
The pistachio latte was perfect - just the right level of sweetness without being too much. I had the croque caprese, which was delicious, especially with the crispy cheese around the plate adding a nice salty crunch.
A cozy neighborhood gem worth trying if you're in the area for brunch!
Nous avons testé les oeufs Bénédicte au jambon de parme & ceux au saumon ainsi que les croquettes d'aubergine. C'était vraiment bon & ça changeait légèrement des brunchs classiques. Les lattes pistache & spéculos étaient très jolis mais moins marquants. Les mimosas auraient pu être légèrement plus frais. Nous y sommes allés un dimanche vers 14h & il n'y avait pas de queue ce qui était appréciable!
C'était délicieux ! Le latte tiramisu n'est pas trop sucré étonnamment! J'ai pris le croque madame & j'aurais pu facilement le partager, mais c'était trop bon alors je l'ai fini.
The best place for a Coffee, Drink & Snack in town! Especially if you're looking for the'instgramable' effect in everything - from the vibe, to the drinks & food. It was visible that everyone behind the counter was putting in the effort to design every plate with attention to detail. The mini french toast was a great finisher & the Croque Madame was a clear winner! There was simply so much going on with a simple coffee, all we could say was Wow. Best of all, everything for fairly priced.
J'y suis allée avec une amie lors d'une journée assez froide. Lors de notre arrivée, le serveur nous demande si c'est pour 1 personne, alors que clairement mon amie m'accompagne. Ensuite, il nous ferme la porte & nous dit que ça ne sera pas long. Lorsqu'il revient, il nous pointe la table à laquelle nous asseoir. Il ne prends pas la peine de nous escorter. Par la suite je prends mon verre d'eau (déjà rempli?) & j'ai l'impression d'y voir des insectes donc je demande au serveur un nouveau verre, il devient soudainement irrité & me dit que ce ne sont pas des bestioles. De plus, notre table ballotait grandement & je voulais lui demander si c'était possible de la mettre à niveau mais je n'ai pas eu le temps puisqu'il n'écoutait pas. Quand il a pris nos commandes, il semblait avoir survécu à une guerre civile… ce fut un des services les plus déplorables & désagréables pour moi à ce jour. Il n'est jamais venu nous voir pour nous offrir de l'eau de plus ou si tous les plats étaient à notre goût. Autrement, les repas étaient très bons & innovants. J'ai pris le Pain Perdu salé au bacon avec le Latte Tiramisu & mon amie a mangé le Croque Madame & un Latte Bueno. C'était délicieux mais nous n'y retournerons malheureusement pas car le service était vraiment décevant. Dommage, car j'ai pu découvrir un bon nouvel endroit. C'est juste vraiment triste de nous avoir reçues de la sorte.
Latte pistache iconique & toutes les boissons, assiette pain doré Yuzu excellente!!! Un de me coups de coeurs pour les brunchs. Excellent service à la clientèle (chakchouka un peu ordinaire, croque madame pas trop apprécié par plusieurs amis)
