One of my favorite cafes I have been to in Montréal! The staff was very friendly & offered different blends for my latte when I ordered & asked me a few questions of how I would like my latte. The atmosphere was great, as it was an art gallery as well. Cafe is in a location located a little out of the way from the city in my opinion but that is the only tiny downside of it. (Sorry for not reviewing in French)

Best tasty cappuccino in the city!!! PERFECT temperature (which most other places aren't warm enough) PERFECT texture, PERFECT flavour, not to sweet just the the perfect balance. The only thing is the small size is extremely small.

SEHR leckerer Kaffee! Ein bisschen teurer, aber dafür schön groß. Süße Snacks im Angebot, auch vegane Optionen. Entspannte und mit Kunstwerken an den Wänden sehr schöne Atmosphäre.

The cafe looked nice; some artwork was presented, but the coffee cost $7, which I found expensive, & the coffee wasn't good. It is worth visiting for its beautiful big windows as the building was a bank.

Nous avons bien aimé notre visite au café Lali. Nous cherchions un endroit où nous pouvions amener notre petit chien. La cuisine y est très bonne malgré que ce ne soit pas la grosse gastronomie. Le service était très bien aussi. L'endroit est chaleureux. Nous y retournerons biem évidemment lors de nos prochaines visites à Montréal. De plus, l'endroit est à proximité d'une station de Métro ce qui est bien pratique pour éviter de conduite dans le trafic. ☺️
