Patrons select from an extensive menu of expertly pulled shots, including signature lattes and robust double espressos, crafted with precise brewing techniques.

Had the worst experience with a worker there. His tone & attitude was extremely disrespectful. I asked him if the Cortado has any flavouring & instead of answering my simple question, idk where he took the conversation. I even wanted coffee beans & he said they are mocha. I was genuinely very confused as what he's talking about. In the end his tone was extremely rude & disrespectful. I came from Toronto & my brother really wanted the coffee beans from this place. Extremely sad to see the rude staff & defs would not recommend this place at all.

You would actually have to be acknowledged to try or order in this place. Tried late at night around 11:30 (they are open until 12 am), 2 staff members made no acknowledgement of me there, & in fact served 2 people that came in afterwards. Very disappointed considering it was highly recommended. I walked out without getting anything.

?The pastries & coffee here are fantastic-the Tiramisu is an absolute must-try! Because it's so popular, expect a long line & a bit of a wait. Seating is incredibly limited inside, so I highly recommend grabbing your treats to go. You can walk just a block down to find plenty of public seating where you can relax, people-watch, & enjoy your food. Also, parking in this area is a nightmare. Do yourself a favor: park further away, walk over, & take in the beautiful Old Montreal views along the way.

Highly recommended for coffee lovers like us. I loved the crema cafe & my husband enjoyed remix cafe. We stayed in MTL 2 days & we visited this location everyday religiously for breakfast & dinner. The tiramisu & pistachios donuts were outstanding. Over all such a great experience & the staff are very friendly.

We will definitely come back again during our next visit.

Got the cafe crema, tiramisu & cannoli. Gotta say that they were even better than in Italy. Everything was better than excellent.
The only negative point is that the place is small & usually full of people so it's a to-go order 100% of the times.
Highly recommended.
