Asked for a coffee, they gave me a mug, so I could fill it up myself, form the fountain. Fine.
Asked for a bagel-salmon sandwich, she gave me a cold one from the fridge, didn't even bother asking if I wanted it warm.
Then the debit machine was asking for tips, 15, 18, 20, 25 percent etc.
I am a generous tipper generally, but I picked the lowest one, 15%.
Tips are for service not for the products.
I didn't feel I received any service.

I stopped by Brûlerie FARO-Roasting House Montréal & ordered a café latte with a croissant. They absolutely nailed the latte-rich, aromatic coffee perfectly blended with silky milk. Paired with a buttery, flaky croissant, it made for a simple but delicious breakfast.
If you're ever traveling to Montreal, this little café is a hidden gem in downtown. Highly recommended for coffee lovers! ☕🥐

I am a regular at this spot & I have to say the quality of the coffee is consistently excellent. The roasting process really brings out the nuances in the beans & the staff is always happy to explain the different origins available that day. It is a quiet place perfect for getting some work done or just catching up with a friend in a comfortable setting. Definitely one of the better roasters in the city if you care about the craft.
