Great brunch spot-cozy vibe, tasty food, & friendly staff!
I stopped by this café for brunch today after seeing all the amazing reviews. It was raining & I really wanted something hot. I ordered their filter coffee, which was excellent-& they kindly agreed to give me one refill.
For food, I tried a new tuna sandwich they were just adding to the menu. It was on display & looked like a huge tuna burger with dark, almost black bread. I decided to give it a shot & was surprisingly pleased! Very flavorful, fresh salad & sauces inside, tasty tuna, & the bread was incredibly soft. I forgot to take a picture at first because I was so hungry-sorry, the photo shows it halfway eaten.
I also had their biscuit au chocolat, which was huge & made a nice dessert dipped into my second (refilled) cup of coffee.
A couple of small downsides:
· I had to carry my own coffee refill back to my seat, navigating stairs & tight spaces between chairs with a full cup.
· I chose an armchair instead of the tables with the small black stools to be more comfortable, but the side table was a bit awkward for eating with both coffee & food.
That said, the atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & I had my book to keep me company. The staff were very friendly-the girl at the counter walked me through all the sandwich options, & the woman who did my refill was super nice too.
Got a latte with a croissant & a cookie, pastry is good, coffee tastes really good but I was surprised of how light it was (light meaning it felt like a single shot instead of a double, coffee wasn't strong), maybe they do single shots & i had to ask for a second, I'm not sure, I'll probably be back cause it still tastes good & very enjoyable, their place is nice & they're near a park which is perfect
Good coffee place near the sports park. Perfect for a caffeine boost before some sportsd & we came back later for some snacks. The people are friendly & nice.
Je vais souvent à ce petit café qui est devenu un de mes endroits favorit à Montréal ! Le café est délicieux, l'ambiance bien aréable & le service est toujours impeccable ! Les gens sont très sympatiques & chaleureux, je le recommande grandement !
I love this place. Cute little cafe in Angus.
The price is really good, & the food is super tasty. My favourite thing about this place is the atmosphere.
Open daily till 5pm. Monday to Friday from 7 ish & Saturday & Sunday at 9 am.
⭐? 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.
