9.46$ pour un café au lait comprenant une surcharge pour le lait d'avoine & 15% de pourboire... c'est un peu excessif non?

I visited this café after a strong recommendation, so I had strong expectations upon my morning visit. I am a filter coffee person, especially at mornings. Therefore, I ordered a dark roast filter coffee. They grind & prepare filter coffee per request in pour-over. It was quite pricey. $6 including tip. However, no complaint about the quality of the drink. Very friendly staff, & an interesting art collection offered for sale.

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.

J'aime bien ce concept. L'accueil des deux dames est très agréable. Un petit coin sympa. Une première à ce jour pour nous qui venons de France.

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.
