J'adore aller à cette place! Elle est vraiment bonne pour les étudiants & aussi pour travailler. Y'a une belle ambiance & les cafés sont vraiment bons.
They took the time to extract the espresso according to their standards for my cortado... most don't. Their second'invite' roast changes very regularly, that too stands out from the rest of Montréal's many cafes! The indoor bike rack is an awesome addition.

A very professional café with high-quality coffee beans & plenty of options. The drinks are always consistent, & you can also buy different types of coffee beans. They even sell some cute merch! There are lots of seats, making it a great place to spend the whole afternoon.
Although the pastries were good, I didn't really enjoy the coffee, & especially not the price - a bit too expensive. The chairs are also not very comfortable. The minimum you can tip is 15% FYI
Super café, chaleureux simple des belles pieces d'art au mur du soleil qui rentre a plein les fenetres pour un espace de salle a mager travail collaboratif grand espacé utile. Mais le meilleure partie du café c'est l'equipe de Barista souriante qui s'amusent tout la journée qui mette de la musique de qualités & qui font rayonner tout la place plus fort que le soleil qui tente de s'immisser par les fenêtres Merci Leo
