Effectivement je rejoins les avis, service désagréable
Je ne reviendrais pas dans cet endroit
Là pause café est un moment de plaisir & là clairement l'expérience est gâchée à cause d'un service froid & pas accueillant
De plus ils n'ont pas fait ma commande comme il faut. J'avais demandé un double espresso allongé ils avaient oublié de l'allonger puis c'était à moi de dire stop pour le niveau d'eau chaude qui versait….
Pour moi, un vrai café doit être remis avec les bons dosages, prêt à boire

Perfectly sized cafe. Plenty of seating. Great coffee. Chill service. Great place for a rest stop or to study/work.

What we noticed in Montréal is that you'd expect loads of cafés, but many of them lean more toward food than coffee. Yes, there are the big commercial chains, but this place is a small shop that's easy to miss.

Inside it's calm, with a very pleasant chap who spoke both French & English. He was polite & welcoming. The latte was really smooth - actually one of the nicest we've had.

You need to ask for the key to the toilet downstairs. It's one flight of steps, so worth noting if mobility is an issue. The toilets were spotless.

Great coffee in the city centre, & the croissant was memorable-soft & flaky with a rich buttery flavor.
