I visited this establishment once for a take-out latte. The second time I visited was on May 13th, 2026, & I ordered a coffee to enjoy at a table. Once seated, I saw a sign for no laptop use. I asked the barista why that was, & he said the owner prefers people to socialize & mingle. I looked around & saw everyone there on their phones, lol. I sat back down & opened my laptop because I needed to read a document. A person stood around my table; he may have been taking photos without my authorization. When he sat down, I'mingled', lol. I explained the rule against laptops, & I found it a bit unusual. I said I had to read something for an exam, he commented that it's a noisy place to study, I replied that it's exactly what I needed & why I came to this cafe - my prerogative to be in a noisy environment- judge me if you like. Then another barista came to my table, placed the cash I had paid for the coffee on it, & said that if I wanted wifi & a laptop, I should go elsewhere. Wow, what is happening to my favourite people on earth for hospitality - Italians-? I didn't need or ask for Wi-Fi. I simply needed to access a document, which for me was easier on a laptop than on a phone. I drank my coffee - when I finished, I placed my coffee cup upside down on its saucer (the meaning of which was lost on them) & didn't pick up the money the barista was implying was a refund of some sort. How does a $6.00 refund make up for the classless behaviour? & the lack of tolerance? As if I were going to park myself there all day with nothing else to do, which I assumed was the real reason for the no-laptop rule. I didn't need Wi-Fi or an electrical outlet. How dare you be so intolerant & assume my motivation? If the staff had been patient for 15 minutes, they would have noticed that when I finished my coffee, I would have left. Instead, they assumed & made my experience very unpleasant. If the person next to me was in fact the owner, he was not forthcoming with this- hello, transparency, anyone. I left, & they picked up the cash I left behind- as if that is to make up for the bad experience- shame on you for your lack of tolerance, transparency & assuming customer behaviour- this is a fail!

Stopped here for a quick coffee & treat. Very cute atmosphere, friendly staff, & yummy baked goods. The coffee was good, too. Not too much space inside, so getting it to go is probably a better option.

A delightful Italian espresso bar in downtown Montreal. Don't expect any syrups or matcha here. They adhere strictly to Italian espresso culture standards! Coffee is excellent!

Coffee with attitude. Their sign says'no ice, no milk substitutes, no flavoured shots, no extra hot milk. These are our standards'. This is a place w a strong personality & it's excellent.
