Vibes are energetic inside, cool & chill outside. Don't be annoying & ask for special prep. Just order & trust them. If you want drip garbage, there's a Tim Horton down the block. Perfect experience for me.

If you are looking for a regular coffee, go elsewhere. If you like tiny cups of dark brew this is your place

Focaccia sandwiches were super light, fresh & crunchy. Great coffee. Great bomboloni. Great atmosphere. They made this place out to be a typical trendy'bar' you would find in Italy. Including the all italian staff & typical italian service; a little slow, a little disorganized & a loudly chaotic. It gives you that feeling of being in the old country so for someone who is used to North American standards maybe its not the place for you! Small quaint coffee spot. Can't wait to go back!

It's a precarious three-prong balancing act:
- Food & beverages are fine, but not out-of-this-world. Fourth-quintile coffee.
- Which makes the pedantic nonsense plastered all over the place insufferable. The'Comic Book Guy' energy is strong.
- But it's lively, different, & I just love Italians,
so it flies.

Edit: I took a star off because the coffee really is not good, & the sandwiches are not good enough.

Ce petit café italien est minuscule, chaleureux & plein de charme. Leur marocchino - un cappuccino avec cacao & Nutella - est absolument incontournable à Montréal. 🍫☕? Riche, onctueux, parfaitement équilibré.

Mais ce qui distingue vraiment l'endroit, c'est la qualité du café : tout simplement hors norme. Ils ont leur propre approvisionnement, & même les grains en vente sur place sont d'un niveau supérieur. Rien que pour repartir avec un sac de café à préparer chez soi, ça vaut le détour.

Le seul bémol ? L'espace est très restreint. Au-delà de 15 personnes, c'est vite bondé. Mais si le temps s'y prête, la terrasse extérieure est idéale - chaises colorées, parasols & ambiance vibrante : le meilleur moment pour savourer sa tasse. 🌞
