I would give 0 stars honestly. Visiting Montreal for the first time & just wanted an espresso & some sparkling water. Barista was extremely rude & hostile for no reason, & even scolded my niece for touching a packaged & unopened candy product on the counter (he grabbed her hand without permission & scolded her while saying'don't touch'). He then proceeded to nearly toss my drink order at me. I would not recommend going here if you don't want to be treated disrespectfully. I don't speak French & I don't know if that's the reason but there are so many better & more welcoming cafes around!!! Don't waste your money here for this rude service.

Currently solo traveling throughout Montreal & I loved this spot. I decided to stray away from my itinerary & try this cafe out & I am so glad I did.

Upon walking in, the team (Marco & Rocco) were immediately so welcoming & kind, I felt comfortable right away.

I ordered the pistachio donut & matcha latte w/ almond milk & I'd recommend both. The donut was delicious with the perfect amount of pistachio filling & just the right amount of sweetness. The matcha was also really good.

The atmosphere is chill & cozy, & it's such a good third space whether you're coming alone or with friends. The cafe feels family owned!
Highly recommend.

Mon nouveau café préféré à Montréal ! Honnêtement, c'est le meilleur service client que j'ai eu à ce jour dans un café & l'ambiance est top, je recommande.

The owner was quite rude during our service. As tourists visiting we wanted to try the best local coffee & bagels together. It is understandable if they did not want to allow outside food, but making this clear upfront when we ordered would have been helpful so I could order to go. Inside it looks like any other coffee shop that allows this.

Once this misunderstanding was identified the worker seemed to be in fear of the owner finding out. I understood why when the owner approached & asked me if I had a problem with him. I would recommend take out if you end up here.

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.

5 étoiles partout pour ce café où l'on peut aussi déguster toute une palette de spécialités italiennes, sucrées ou salées. Qualité des produits, authenticité des plats, toute la saveur de l'Italie transportée à Montréal. Sans parler de la gentillesse de l'accueil & du service. Au comptoir ou en cuisine, chacune & chacun veille sur vous avec attention & sourire. Mention particulière pour Audrey & son sourire, bien charmante hôtesse. La Mamma veille sur toute l'organisation avec ses deux fils, on pourrait être à Florence ou à Naples, on se sent (très) bien. Terrasse lorsqu'il fait beau, une salle agréable. De beaux produits italiens à vendre sur place (pâtes, café...). Très recommandable à tout point de vue ! Merci pour tout & à bientôt j'espère.
