Nice little italian coffeeshop. Good espresso. Good side snack: croissants, cookies.

Great casual terrace to enjoy your coffee outdoors. Sit & chat for as long as you like. Some people had their dogs. I had a single shot latte which was good, but I'd probably go for a double shot next time. They have some croissants & cookies but I didn't see any food.

This place feels like my own little secret café-like I discovered it myself. But truth is, they've been around for 13 years.

Came in to meet a friend. First time here. The vibes? Chill, unpretentious, & welcoming. Feels like a cozy living room or your best friend's kitchen.

You're greeted by the rich aroma of fresh-ground coffee, the soft murmur of conversation, & a counter full of homemade cookies & pastries-some familiar, all tempting.

Prices are fair for a personalized experience. $3 for an Earl Grey tea with steamed milk, served in a glass if you're staying in. $4 for a smooth Americano.

Behind the espresso machine, a cool-looking gent with salt-&-pepper hair. At the counter, a friendly woman who welcomed me when she heard it was my first visit.

The decor? Purposefully unfinished-or maybe just always evolving. My wife asked if it was under construction. I said, Yes, like our busy lives-always in progress.

Long story short, it's now on my go-to list-for coffee, good company, or just sitting alone, writing Google reviews.

My favourite coffee place in NDG! Their coffee is smooth & flavourful & when combined with a nutty milk or regular milk it becomes even tastier (at least in my opinion). The staff is lovely & they are always nice & welcoming. They offer croissants, sandwiches & cookies. There's a nice indoor vibe. The outdoor sitting area is at a street corner so you get plenty of sun in the morning & have some shade in the afternoon

I used to come here a lot over the last few years & love their coffee & cookies. I visited again today after a very long time & ordered an almond milk latte. There was basically no coffee in it & I felt like I was drinking heated up milk. The most disappointing coffee I had in a while, especially at a place I loved so much

L'expresso & les cookies à base d'amandes sont excellents.

Stopped in while shopping on Monkland for a hot chocolate & baked cookie snack. The hot chocolate was very good & one of the better ones I had...but the Chocolate Coffee Cookie was ok (not bad but lacking in the posed coffee flavoring). There is a nice quiet seating area with a nice large window facing Monkland. Enjoy!
