Great unpretentious coffee! Staff is amazing & welcoming. Italian style, no laptops, no wifi, just the pure joy of enjoying a nice conversation with a delicious coffee.

I've only ever had the cafe nocciola, so my review is limited to that, but I can confirm it's one of the tastiest coffees I've ever had in Montreal! You can tell the coffee beans & hazelnut paste are incredibly high quality! It's not cheap, but a really good treat if you appreciate coffee!

The ambiance is also beautiful, although the indoors felt very crowded when I went. I sat outside & had a great time! The staff was super friendly :)

Confusing ordering counter, having the register right at the entrance does not work well with making lines. the food is photographed better on the reviews than in reality. Meh crowded.

We came to Montreal for the weekend, this was the best coffee we had all weekend & we went to a lot of coffee places. It's definitely worth a trip! The Nutella Bombolone was amazing!
