Excellent. We've been coming to Montreal for 20 years & always try little hole-in-the-wall cafes & restaurants & this ended up being a great choice. We had pizza & a panini. The pizza was excellent with very fresh ingredients & great crust. The panini was excellent as well. The service was awesome as well. We will definitely be back.

The staff is super friendly; my friend & I were still talking about it on our way back, saying how rare it is nowadays to have service that both feels kind & genuine.

Food & drinks were also excellent & tasted fresh; there were veg options. They sell yummy fruit candies as well.

This is my favorite cafe in the city. They have fresh baked goods & delicious sandwiches everyday & the best coffee ☕ I've been able to find. I go as often as possible & would recommend it to anyone. It's run by two brothers & their mother from Italy & they have a small staff who are all very nice & the place is very clean & well managed. I have several dietary restrictions & they're very attentive about it. I've never had a bad experience & I look forward to many more visits.

It's a very nice place. Loved their hot chocolate & their croissant was fresh & not too buttery or heavy for my stomach. The staff are very friendly.

I had an incredible experience at this café. The cappuccino was simply amazing-smooth with perfect consistency & a beautifully foamy top. The light dusting of chocolate was a nice touch that made it even better. The chocolate croissant was fresh & buttery, the perfect pairing with my coffee. I also loved the thoughtful gesture of being brought a glass of iced water alongside everything. One of the highlights was the unique & pleasant classical music playing inside. It really added to the cozy, relaxing atmosphere. Special shout-out to Alex, the nicest barista ever! Their service made the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping by!
