This is a really nice spot!! Beautiful cozy interior with a surprising amount of seating. The Persian fog was so pretty & delicious, & the saffron cake was exactly what I was craving. Didn't get a chance to try any other food but it all looked absolutely delicious & fresh. Highly recommend!

Amazing drinks & great atmosphere! Small wooden tables, books, & plants create the perfect setting for this cozy cafe. I had the Persian Fog, which was absolutely delicious, very sweet. The pistachio foam & saffron make this a unique & flavorful drink. The pastries were also excellent! Limited seating outside & there was a no laptop policy when we visited. Hoping to return here on our next trip to Montreal.

A cappuccino with oat milk for $8 is simply outrageous. The price would be easier to accept if the service matched it, but unfortunately it didn't.

When I mentioned that I had enjoyed excellent coffee at many other cafés across the city for much less, the staff member responded by saying,'This is local coffee, not Tim Hortons.' I found that comment incredibly arrogant, dismissive, & unprofessional. Instead of listening to a customer's feedback, she chose to be condescending.

I've had outstanding local coffee all over the city without paying this much or being treated this way. Great coffee alone doesn't justify poor customer service. I won't be coming back, & I certainly can't recommend this place.
