Came here for the honey cake, tastes like a factory made version. It's a no fuss café, nice seating by the window. Very Montreal.

A café in Montreal with a lovely view of downtown through its large glass panels & ceiling. We visited on a weekday & the queue can get long as there are only two baristas running the whole café - though we still managed to find a seat. We ordered a hot chocolate & a Brume de Castel. The drinks were okay - acceptable but nothing spectacular. You're paying more for the scenery & cozy atmosphere, which does make up for it. With plenty of natural light, it's a nice spot for catching up or getting some work/study/reading done.

The staff were SO kind & helpful when I thought I had lost my phone. I'm so grateful for their patience, generosity, & goodwill!
Also the cafe is super cute & the drinks & pastries are excellent.

The atmosphere & overall vibe of the place are great - it has a very relaxing & comfortable feel. Unfortunately, the menu is far too limited. For someone who comes in hungry, the options are really not satisfying enough.

In a city famous for its bagels, every café should have a proper bagel section with a variety of options available throughout the day. Instead, the selection here is very shallow. Savory food options are limited & not filling, while sweet items are much more common.

The same goes for croissants - they should be available at all hours, which honestly is not difficult to manage.

My only suggestion would be to expand & enrich the menu. Especially considering the café is located right next to a school, the current menu feels surprisingly limited.

Très bon café avec différentes options pour le lait dans votre latté, le sandwich au poulet pesto est très généreux en viande & délicieux, les tables son bien espacé on ne se sent pas les uns sur les autres. Venez vêtus si il fait frais, car le café est dans un solarium & il n'était pas chauffé a notre visite.

It's close to McGill campus & has a very nice place to work, with large windows that make it very bright during the summer.
Open longer than many local cafés, which is a bonus!

Cakes are delicious & usually fresh.
The only problem is when it gets crowded, with usually one or two staff who are both baristas & responsible for taking care of the place, you might end up with tables left unclean & no one taking the dishes or leftovers.

The cafe has a nice cozy vibe for studying or hanging out. I ordered a mocha latte but the price I paid for a medium, I expected a bit of a larger size. It's bit on the sweeter side but I like the consistency with the steamed milk. Service was alright, the guy who served me seemed a bit grumpy. At least they have a student discount which is nice.

Les cafés sont bons & grands. La déco & l'ambiance est agréable pour étudier avec une très belle luminosité! Seule chose la température en hiver est instable probablement à cause de la partie vitrée, j'ai eu soit trop froid ou trop chaud.
