Très joli café, l'ambiance est épurée & lumineuse & la proprio est fort sympathique! Il y a des expositions d'oeuvres d'arts sur les murs, belle initiative pour promouvoir les artistes émergents.

I recently visited this cafe & had a flat white & a croissant. Both the coffee & the croissant were good. The cafe has a nice atmosphere & is quite cute. However, the staff could be more warm & friendly, which would improve the overall experience..
The atmosphere was good. It's decorated well. Good for working space. We ordered 2 iced latte, cookie & kouign amann, all for 23$. This morning i was so happy & want to get the coffee from this place until i come in, no smiling, i ordered waiting for the coffee, At first i was smiling the staff but no smile back at all. i took photos to give a review but then when i record the pouring coffee in the cup part as attached without people face at all. I think the bartender guy feel like i took his photo, & feel offended, he told me like next time if u want to record let other people know first, & no smiling...i was like what, i didnt even have ur face in my video. I understand ur privacy & i always respect that & if i want the people in my video i will always ask first & didnt even ask me if i took ur face. There is other way to tell people in a nicer way & with the service mind. I know u might feel offended & i feel that too. Also, the girl who took my order come to support the bartender saying that i should let them know as they got people took photos of their face all the time. I also shows the video to them but i still get the same answer. I got you & i wont come back to this place again.

My favorite café so far! The drinks are super good & I love the'latte créatif' flavors that change every month, but are always delicious! The pastries are fine, they're worth buying the next day with the discount. I also love the café's decoration & atmosphere. The playlist is great for studying & there are a lot of tables & places to sit with multiple power outlets. The art exhibitions are always interesting to see as well. It's also very close to Berri-UQAM which is super convenient. It gets pretty busy, so I recommend going on'off hours' like early in the morning on in the afternoon.
The coffee was great & the cinnamon roll that I had with it. The only con was that the people working there were not having a great day. I wish them the best!

If you need to get some serious work done, this is the place to be! The wifi is excellent, the working areas are spacious & there are tons of power bars available. Not too that mention that the coffee is delicious!
Ce petit café était une belle découverte au centre de Montréal, avec du bon vibes & style contemporain, un simple bon petit dej, un bon service & une ambiance agréable ☕️
