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.

Café fantastique. Les baristas & propriétaires sont très fiers de leur travail, & c'est très justifié. Expérience authentique & artisanale. Service personable & nourriture délicieux. Les pâtisseries sont fantastiques & un peu sucré à mon goût. Le café est très bien présenté & un peu acide à mon goût. C'est difficile à dire, mais il y a aussi un très belle ambiance de communauté dans le café. Petite note qu'on m'est venu à la table me demander si je voulais commander quelque chose alors que j'attendais un ami 5-10min alors que ce n'était pas très occupé. Selon moi, je sentais qu'il y avait un peu de pression, mais je comprends aussi que le flanâge ne serait pas bon pour le business non plus. Je reviendrai certainement, surtout pour essayer les paninis qui sentaient très bon.

P'tit latté ce matin c'était un banger, le service est exceptionnel aussi. J'y retourne à midi pour tester les paninis j'vous tiens au jus la team mais je pense qu'on tient une pépite 💯 UPDATE : J'ai mangé le panini j'suis pas déçu bordeeeeeel ! Finalement c'est pas un panini classique c'est une sorte de focaccia là ça respire l'Italie (j'adore la Sicile) pour 10$ pas dégueu (ils sont toujours aussi sympas 4h après) 5💫 Abonnez-vous pour + de pépites (italiennes ou pas d'ailleurs j'adore pleins d'autres pays)

He was passionate about the food/drinks, energetic & treated everyone with respect & kindness.
