Magnificent breakfast spot/patisserie! Very nice coffee, pastries, sandwiches, & I was able to practice my (very mauvais French)--authentic & local. Close to the hotel on Notre Dame street. Worth visiting most certainly.

Found the cutest little coffee spot! We tried the iced Nutella latte with oat milk & a classic iced latte, & both were absolutely delicious. Their pastries & lunch menu looked amazing too, so I'll definitely be back to try the food!

Absolutely loved it.
We went for the mother's Day brunch & it was a lovely experience from start to finish.

It was paid in advance through the reservation process which made it that much more flawless during the lunch. Not having to deal with the bill & money makes the experience more pleasant.

The food was A1 for everything. Tea was delicious (Sensa, Macha, Ginger & tumeric & Earl Grey), the sandwiches were original but all made with great ingredients (shout out to the fresh mozza & pesto ❤?), the pastries were buttery, flaky, sweet, everything! Honestly, there was not a single item that we didn't love.

The staff was attentive yet not overbearing. It's a nice balance that allowed us to take our time but never feel like we were forgotten.

The place is on the smaller side but very cozy. The vibe & decorations were exactly what I want a high tea experience to feel like. Cute, delicate but with a bit of pizazz & humour.

For four people, the price felt very balanced for the service & food we received. Not too much or too little, but just right.

I definitely recommend it to whoever wants a high tea experience that's not pretentious but serves fresh & delicious food & tea.

We were absolutely blindsided by the price for our daughters birthday. I've attached the correspondence my partner & I had with the cafe.

For a 4 year olds birthday party we had 7 children & their parents. 15 people total. We were fine with the cost of the room ($150) & $10 per adult for a tiered charcuterie board & some pastries. However, we had read the pricing for the cupcakes as $50 for 6 cupcakes, snacks & juice. As we estimated 8-10 kids we thought'sure, $100 for 12 cupcakes & snacks & juice should be okay on top of the $150 for the room & $10 per adult for charcuterie'.

But no, we noticed that they were bringing out dozens & dozens & dozens of cupcakes. Around this time I got a charge on my credit card for $700 IN ADDITION to the $150 deposit I put down for the room.

We were told that it was 6 cupcakes PER CHILD…$50 per child…

In our shock we asked what could be done as we had around 60 cupcakes & a HUGE cake for 14 people.

Nothing could be done & our concern for the insane fee & amount of cupcakes for a Children's Party was dismissed to our faces. We were told that'we have been doing this for 10 years' & that was that.

All of our friends were shocked. No parent in their right mind would have read'$50 for 6 cupcakes & snacks & juice' to mean 6 cupcakes for EACH child. No parent would ever agree to go to a party where their child was given that much sugar…

Oh, & we were told we would want to buy a cake. As we thought we had only ordered 12 cupcakes, we agreed. We ended up with like 60 cupcakes & a cake for 14 people…for 7 children ages 2, 2, 4,4,4, 6 & 7.

I hope they make it right. The venue was cute, but this is unacceptable.

This is a fantastic family run patisserie & caffe in old Montreal. Everything is made with top notch ingredients. The pastries, croissants & vinoiseries are to die for accompanied by a latte. They also serve lunches with excellent flavour combo sandwitches. I love the wall of marmelade where you can even pick up fantastic small batch marmelades & preserves made with local produce at it's freshest. Try serving a cheese platters wth the spicy green tomato marmelade & the zuchini marmelade. Awesome.
