Review Summary

Café Différance is widely celebrated for its exceptional quality coffee, with standouts including the latte, chai, and cold brew, alongside highly praised seasonal specialty options. The atmosphere is consistently described as cozy and pleasant, making it a favorite local spot for enjoying delicious pastries like scones and cookies. While service is noted for being quick and friendly, some visitors find certain drink portion sizes to be small or expensive, and the intimate seating space is better suited for casual visits than for working on a laptop.

I ordered an ice matcha latte, & it was good quality, but a bit expensive for the small size & with too little milk in my opinion.

Petit café idéal pour emporter. L'endroit n'est pas très grand, je ne recommande pas pour travailler sir laptop.

I looked up cafe's in the neighbourhood & this one came up so decided to give it a try. The food was delicious (I tried the breakfast burrito & the chocolate chip cookie). I would certainly visit again when I'm in Montreal.
