This place has the best sandwiches in Mile End / Plateau, among the best in Montreal. I think their vegan sandwich is the best in the city; super hearty, with touches of salt, sweet (honey) & spice, & without any ketchup or mayo. They also serve tajines & popsicles that I can't wait to come back & try. Prices are really reasonable (& show you just how much other places are overcharging!). Staff is very friendly & the ambience is warm (West African jazz on the speakers). Must try!

Update: can confirm their balbastik glace are da bomb! Kefir lime is excellent.

So good! The owner was so kind & friendly. I love that they have vegan options that are interesting. I had the vegan sandwich which had a bean filling. The drinks are so good too. I just wish they were open for dinner!

Wow! La nourriture est toujours super bonne, plusieurs options véganes. Les portions sont généreuses & les prix assez bas. Le pain est fait maison & c'est l'un des meilleurs que j'ai jamais mangé! Il est toujours servi frais & chaud, il est moelleux, mais l'extérieur est un peu croustillant. Le service est très chaleureux. On nous a offert la première fois des glaces au baobab à la fin de notre repas. Une autre fois, je suis arrivée 30 minutes après la fermeture & on m'a vu essayer d'entrer. On est venu m'ouvrir & on m'a préparé le sandwich que je voulais, tout en m'apportant un jus d'hibiscus pour patienter!! Ça parait que les proprios ont à coeur les gens de leur communauté. J'adore cet endroit :)

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The food is incredible!!! I've been twice & have yet to try a sandwich more packed with flavor. The hot sauce is mind blowing. The place is very cozy & in the summer they sell delicious juice & popsicles. The owner is so nice & was able to accommodate my friends gluten allergy with no problems. Great spot for your gluten free &/or vegan friends!!
