The positive sides were drinks & service. Their themed lattes are spot on. Not too sweet & still can taste coffee itself. Service was welcoming & took care of my partner's allergy request.
However, once we received our food, our enthusiasm has sunk. I ordered croque tartiflette & honestly I don't understand how anyone can enjoy 2 pieces of bread sprinkled by some bacon & covered by some cheddar while paying over 30$ for it including tax & tips. I guess some people do. My fault to order that. Arrived cold.
My partner ordered truffle & champignons Benedict. Came stone cold. The green sause tasted straight up as a fish. There was no even a hint to taste any truffle since that fish taste overshadows anything on the plate.
In conclusion, will probably come back to get a take out for a coffee. In terms of food, it was the worst brunch I've tried so fa

Mid brunch at a nice location. I had the croque madame (popular) & surprisingly it was filling.

For the lattes we went tiramisu (the best imo) & pistachios (would not buy again). Please note that if you buy the cold version of the drink you don't get the gorgeous design on your drink. The waitress had not informed us of that & when we realized after seeing what the other table had gotten, it was already too late as she found out the drinks were sitting at the counter for a bit.

Getting the food took way too long. We're talking 20 minutes. The drinks also came late. Our table was extremely wobbly to the extent that I was afraid it would knock down our glass water bottle.

Was it fun to try? Sure. Would I go again? No.

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!

This place is a 5 stars!

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)

10/10 for their AMAZINGLY fancy coffees. We tried the Tiramisu, Pistacchio & Pumpkin lattes. We also loved the food; croque madame, eggs benedict with salmon & guacamole & the francescinha. Perfect portions left us feeling satisfied & not overly stuffed. The waitress did not make us feel rushed during our brunch. ONLY downside was the one hour+ wait outside, but luckily it was a beautiful day. Will definitely come back!

Very welcoming, when me & my friend arrived we barely waited for a few seconds & the waitress was nice, they gave us enough time to choose what we wanted without it being too long. I really liked the pumpkin latte I also like my croque Madama but I wouldn't say I loved it. But my friend who took the croque caprese loved it so it was probably based on personal taste, overall a great experience. Would recommend.

Pistachio & tiramisu latte are very unique. I think the tiramisu is better personally. The eggs benedicts were good, there isn't too much difference between all three choices since it's the same sauce. The mushroom > the jambon. The croque madame was a bit too heavy.

We recently visited Antipode & tried a variety of dishes, including the Shakshuka, Croque Madame, Chicken Waffle, Burrata, & Mushroom Eggs Benedict. While the food tasted decent, it didn't quite meet our expectations, especially after standing in line for about an hour. The dishes were well-presented, but the flavors were just average & lacked that wow factor. For the time & effort it took to get a table, I was hoping for a more memorable dining experience. However, I must say their drinks were the highlight of our visit. The Espresso Martini was perfectly balanced, the Tiramisu Latte had a delightful hint of sweetness, & the Pistachio Latte was a unique & delicious treat. Overall, while the food was okay, the standout beverages were what made the visit worthwhile. In my opinion, Antipode is deserving of a 3-star rating-good drinks but not necessarily worth the long wait just for the food.

We hosted a private dinner at Antipode in August 2024 for about 40 people. Everything - from the communication leading to the evening, the service, & the food - was absolutely amazing. The food, of course the most important thing- was amazing & abundant. Every guest was filled to the brim but couldn't stop eating for how delicious it was. We had a tasting menu that started with a cocktail & then the following across three services: tuna ceviche with homemade tortilla chips, eggplant croquettes, salmon tartare, Korean fried chicken, burrata with focaccia, beef tataki, truffle pasta, & a pistachio/nutella/strawberry beignet dessert. I wish I had taken better pictures but every dish was aesthetically gorgeous & tasted absolutely incredible. The restaurant is also beautiful. It's intimate & has walls that open onto the street & the restaurant's patio. The owner, Nick, was so kind & accommodating throughout. We had some fussy toddlers & babies & he did everything possible to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. If you're thinking about Antipode for your private event, or for a weekend dinner with friends or family, do not hesitate! Just go! We will be coming back again & again for dinner & I can't wait for the next opportunity to host another private event. Milles merci Nick & team!

Saumon fumé & guacamole 4/5 Benedict eggs with smoked salmon & guacamole. A refreshing taste. Croque Truffe 4.5/5 Ham & truffle cheese sandwich, quite good. Gaufre & Poulet 4.5/5 It tastes like Korean fried chicken. The flavor is delicious, but it's too common for us. Pain Perdu yuzu 3.5/5 The presentation is very nice, & the pear is quite special, but the taste is just okay. Latte Pistachio 5/5 Latte Tiramisu 4.5/5 Latte Lavande 3/5 The ambiance of the restaurant is particularly beautiful, with decor featuring elements of greenery & sculptures.
