Coffee is excellent, & nice selection of biscuits. I wish there were more lunch options (they just offer two types of wraps, which are delicious!) & I would go more often.

Nice, small cafe with lots of paintings & art pieces displayed like a small gallery. The cafe is really small. There is an upstairs but again really small. The coffee is good here though & the service is awesome. Also, they make their own chai concentrate in house. It's a bit watery for me & not as intense as I like my chai but it's an option for those that love chai as much as I do.

Nice calm cafe. I used to come here, but the combination of black flies in the mezzanine & witnessing uncomfortable, awkward interactions to get clients to leave after 1.5 hrs when the cafe was not full was welcoming when there are many top notch cafes around. I hope these will be (or have been) addressed to give Lali another shot!

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!
