I had the turkey wrap for lunch & it was above expectations. Otherwise I saw other content patrons, some interacting timidly with the staff. It offers a smart laidback setting for a quick conversation.
Very cute little cosy cafe with an amazing owner, so kind & generous.
When we came, there was a show & a little fundraiser for a great cause.
Loved the vibes & delicious pastry that was offered to us for taking part of the cause.
I definitely recommend if you're in the area, walking by the water this summer, they do everything cold brew as well :)
Excellent cafe! The hot & iced drinks are amazing :) The atmosphere is cozy & the the staff is friendly & attentive. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great coffee experience!

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!
Caz le propriétaire qui ma servi était plus qu'aimable ! J'ai adoré mon matcha avec l'option lait de coco, qui est plutôt rare, mais très apprécié ! Je compte bien retourner en prendre un autre quand je repasserai par là!
De passage pour un petit espresso allongé, je ne pouvais qu'apprécier ce petit décor & service agréable . Classique, industriel & avec bien des lecteurs de vinyles & good music. /// On my journey to savor a delightful espresso, I cherish this intimate space with its exceptional service. The blend of classic & industrial style, along with a few vinyl records, creates an inspiring atmosphere.
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!
Absolutely amazing! This cafe has such a beautiful ambiance, delicious savoury sandwiches, extraordinary sweets & the lattes are made perfectly!! The staff is extremely kind & were patient when I asked what was in all the food. I would recommend this spot to anybody that is looking for a cozy place to catch up with friends or even spend some quality alone time! I will be returning very soon!
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.
