⭐? Lattés de spécialité & cafés de 3e vague de qualité & savoureux. Staff adorable & un espace magnifique, éclairé avec beaucoup d'espace & avec une belle vue vers l'extérieur.
🥐 On a essayé le croissant déjeuner & le latté à la menthe marocaine & c'était super bon.
🧡 Tout est remplie d'amour. Je vous le recommande fortement.
Un service client qui fait la différence! La bouffe est bonne & le prix reste correct. Dépendament des moments, l'ambiance peut être bruyante car le lieu est bondé (victime de leur succès!)

Really horrible coffee one of the worst I've had! My wife purchased 2 coffees (cappuccino & filtered coffee) with a type of banana pumpkin bread. After we both teied our coffee, we both were like yuk! What a wierd disgusting tasts! We first thought it was the milk that was expired. So I went back to tell the employee the situation! She was sure the milk was good as there hadn't been anyone else who had complained. She was nice enough to make us another one & when she made me try it, I mistakenly said it was better when it wasn't! I knew then that it was their coffee beans that taste weird! Please do not listen to the pisitive reviews. They have 4.9 stars forsure due to the owners friends. Look at the negative ones (the few that are there), you'll see that they also find the coffee to be bad (bitter & weird taste)! I think the people at this café have no clue what good coffee is! Wow! The dessert was okay nothing special, but coffee is really really bad!
2026/02/22 A response to employee/manager/owner Gabriel.
I felt that I needed to respond to your response on my critic but truthful review I sent yesterday.
First off, sorry its not to bring down your coffee place (because its actually a nice café with seemingly lovely ambiance). However, I felt it was necessary to warn others about the coffee taste! Again, its not that its about an off taste...its a question of the taste being bitter & bad after taste! I am one of the least picky person when it comes to food & especially coffee...loving almost all coffee's like tim hortons & mcdonalds. But the coffee beans served at your café is really awful! It seems as its not even close to a normal coffee taste! As I first thought it was the milk that was sour, it was clearly your coffee beans! Its forsure your homemade coffee beans right? Which country are they from? The blend of coffee is like I never tried before. My wife was complaining even more than me.
Simply to answer your question about other cafés, if you want to try normal & great coffee, go to Café Milano's, Café Olympico, Clarke's café just a few to name. I'm Italian so I kind of have an idea what good coffee is!
But perhaps certain people like that particular taste of coffee & thats good for your business if thats really the case. & I find it hard to believe that the majority of people who wrote the reviews are indeed'real clients' & NOT friends/relatives! But if you say so..I'm not here to judge but rather give my opinion.
La lumière est très belle avec une belle vue sur le parc ! Le décor est très beau & les plantes sont magnifiques & en santé 🪴c'est une belle ambiance, le sandwich déjeuner est délicieux & le matcha bien réussi
J'habite le quartier & c'est LE café pour aller travailler. Vitré, plein de prises de courant, bonne musique, avec bonne bouffe/café & bon service! Très heureux que ce café est près de chez moi!
Really loved my afternoon ! perfect for study, space, & good coffee. the music is good & not too loud, the vibe is perfect. was so focused that i've forgot to try their food🤭 the service was nice too !
Lundi 9 février 2026. Excellent service de la part de la barista principale. Excellent Cortado. Je voulais acheter du café en grain, mais elle ne connaissait pas tous les détails du modèle que je cherchais. Par contre son excellence est du fait qu'elle a pris le temps d'appeler son gérant ou le directeur pour confirmer mon choix & à la fin de mon café, elle m'a proposé le café que je cherchais. Grain Brésil Ça c'est du service. Bonne continuité. Merci beaucoup.
Les boissons sont délicieuses & les pâtisseries aussi ! Super ambiance pour se concentrer (le son n'est pas trop fort, la disposition en étage & les grandes baies vitrées donnent une ambiance propice à la concentration)
Les cafés à Montréal sont très populaires, & plus souvent qu'autrement, l'espresso à un arrière goût de grain brûlé. Au Kujira, le café est savoureux, velouté, le tout servi avec sourire & ce, dans une atmosphère accueillante & stylée. En tant que coffee snob bien assumée, je recommande fortement cette destination si vous avez besoin de faire le plein de caféine.
I really wanted to love it but everything they sell is depressing & or disappointing. Their Matcha & london fog is basically just milk, & their coffee is disliked by everyone I know. Their cookies & snacks are also very depressing. Only snacks that are good is maybe? the matcha cookie? & the mushroom shaped chocolate puff & salad. Everything else is bland &/or dry. The space is really pretty though. I really really wonder how this place is still in business.
Edit: sorry to the owner I was quite harsh & the workers are super nice. & I meant the people I know that have tried it.
