Nous revenons d'un voyage en Italie & je me sentais en Italie à Montréal. Les serveurs & proprio sont tellement gentils & l'ambiance est incroyable.

Good way to start your morning. I mean, a few pushy, impatient customers, budging in front of me, but happy the barista noticed & served me before them.
Sorry for eaten pastries in photos I had no patience to taste 😁 was delish.
Ordered my Americano & extra shot of espresso & notified me they do not add water, it's against policy or something (I am very forgetful). I ordered the top 3 pastries & a meat & cheese sandwich, & was not disappointed. Thank you Bar C.

Merci à vous pour votre professionnalisme & votre super énergie, j'en ressors toujours reboosté !

Espresso was nothing special. Pastries were awful. The donut was wet & tasteless. Filled croissants had no flavor or texture whatsoever. Service was good & staff was friendly.
