Café La Bine

I just finished reading the book Unreasonable Hospitality, so I'm more aware than usual of the quality of service at business establishments. Maybe Maude also read the book & is applying it to her job as barista (owner?) at Café La Bine, but more likely it just comes to her naturally.
She gave a warm, genuine welcome; she noticed I was pulling a computer from my bag & pointed out the wifi information (I usually have to look around or ask at coffee shops); when I ordered a half-caf latte, she served it & let me know it was half-caf (sometimes baristas forget to make a decaf or half-caf & I always wonder if they remembered). We had a short, pleasant conversation about why I was visiting Montreal.
The space was great for computer work - several tables had outlets nearby. The bathroom was possibly the cleanest I've seen in a coffee shop housed in an old building.
Oh - the matcha cookie with raspberry center was perfect. :)

Un de mes endroits préférés a Beaubien : le café est toujours très bon, les barista sont accueillantes & gros coup de coeur sur le Bagel au saumon !

Too bad for us. My girlfriend & I enjoyed the coffee, atmosphere & the baristas was very friendly. We won't be going back though. Why would you choose to alienate a whole group of potential customers because of your politics. Mixing politics with business is never a good idea.

Came across this spot visiting from NY. Wonderful barista who was very knowledgeable about our coffee selections. The sandwich was nice & hot too!

Café très mignon avec une ambiance calme & chaleureuse, parfait pour un goûter entre copines ou même pour travailler. Les baristas sont très souriantes & accueillantes. Je me suis régalée avec mon latte au caramel & je reviendrais pour sur pour le pumpkin Spice latte !
