I love this cafe my friend introduced it to me & I've always wanted to come back. The coffee itself is so good, I got an iced latte with honey & they put a good amount of ice, milk & espresso, I could still taste the delicious coffee flavor. I also got a dark chocolate chip cookie, it was rlly delicious crispy & chewy & paired perfectly with the iced latte!! The barista was also super kind & sweet, thank you!!

The coffee, the cookies, the environment,10/10! All around great place to visit in the morning. The staff always has a huge smile on their faces & is super helpful (they speak both English & French). There is a cute landing at the top where you climb a spiral staircase. I sat up there & they delivered my coffee to me. The music was great & I comfortably read for some time. I will be visiting again!

A Gem of a place! The coffee is excellent, the artwork is vibrant, the service is always great, the building is unique, & on top of it, they are so friendly to dogs. Every time we walk by the place, my dog begs to go in, rushes to the counter & patiently waits for her treats while I order mine. We're always greeted with a warm service (often by two blonde ladies) who tell us about a new recipe they've been working on. That lemon Biscotti is a hit! Ps. The oatmeal double chocolate cookies are to die for.

My espresso & cookie were incredibly good. The service & atmosphere were as perfect as the food & that will be my place to visit again once I return to Montreal.
