What a vibe! I was there with a friend last Friday-loved the vinyls, the art on the walls, & the great coffee. The barista served us with a smile, & I also learned they do vinyl pick-ups & repairs. Such a cool spot!
Im a big coffee hater, but their coffee is amazing. I'm in school so I needed a boost! To prove how good their coffee was, last week they were closed, so I went elsewhere & it was nasty. So I'm only going here from now on! Nice vintage ambience & the food is delicious don't hesitate to try it!

Excellent coffee served by friendly folks in an awesome setting! Also, They play fabulous tunes on sound systems that won't overwhelm a conversation. Love coming here to chill, groove & watch St-Henri wander by.
This cafe is the perfect spot for those seeking a latte or bite to eat, but where it really shines is with the sound system & audio repair shop - a definite haven for audiophiles! Kaz helped me out a ton by testing my speakers & giving an expert appraisal. They also had DeMello coffee, my personal fave. This spot is a hidden treasure in MTL!
Cool space for coffee, the barista Kaz is so friendly! & the most important, coffee! I a coffee lover myself & it did not disappoint at all. Highly recommend!
Nice & cozy place for quick coffee, equipped with hi-fi audios. The owner is very nice as well, it's a good place especially if you prefer somewhere rather quiet.

Nice cozy coffee/listening room kind of place. Has a great vibe all kinds of cool record players & speakers around. Coffee is great, staff is very nice & provide a great place to just chill & have a coffee. 10/10 !
Very nice vibe, good ambiance with the music & vintage decor. Great specialty coffee with various food options! A nice place to sit down for a coffee or do some quiet work. 🙌🏻
This was my first visit to this café, & it's absolutely lovely. We got two flat whites with a croissant & all were delicious. Coffee was perfection & the croissant was fresh out of the oven. Perfect morning treat. Plus the owner was super friendly & nice. We will definitely come back again!
