Hubby & I visiting Montreal & this cafe is the best one we had here. The ginger tea & London fog are unreal that we came back twice for the drinks & had to have the food! A hidden gem with amazing drinks, food, atmosphere & service. Such friendly, amazing staff too! Highly recommend it! Wish we had a place like this back home ❤️
