The bread served with the food was stale, & it took about 30 minutes for the order to be prepared. The staff were not friendly & I definitely would not order from here again.

Les sandwichs sont bons & j'ai aimé le brouillard perse. Le coût est assez élevé par rapport à la valeur.

I had one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had in Canada at your place. From the excessively greasy food, to the server failing to properly follow up on our order, & the indifferent & dismissive management who, in response to our complaint, told us,'Go ahead & complain to whoever you want about the quality of our service & food.'
Unfortunately, you have left us with one of our worst memories of the beautiful city of Montreal.

This place was a nightmare. First Time here. Stood at the door to be seates then réalises nobody is coming in forever so went to the cash desk & mentioned that I'm not sure if I should get seated or how it works. I was told to sit down & the waitress would come & serve me. Everybody that came after got served & i was sooooo confused & just taken aback to even ask what's going on here. Anyways I got ignored for a good 20 or even more it was forever. I left & would say this place is disgusting I don't know why but I've never ever been to such a horrible place . Never ever again

Beautiful Cafe. Explored recently
Ordered a veg sandwich filled with veges & cheese, it was delicious.

Ordered a four berry smoothie & the smoothie was excellent too, refreshing drink on very hot day in MTL.

The ambience of the Cafe is so cute. I felt I could sit there for work for long hours.

It was a quiet place to sit chat. No loud music.
Overall I loved it.
