Second coffee stop on this Montreal trip delivered.

Walked into a big linetop on a Tuesday morning. It's goota be good.

Had an oat milk cappuccino & the to die for tiramisu. Amazing.

Also to go Nutella cookie. Sicilian Cannoli & a lemon biscotti. All amazing. Great little spot. Only 6 or so tables but good amount of dine in room.

Also surprised how fast & good the service was given only one person working, & a 12 people lineup when I got there.

Le goût de café est bon , mais l'endroit est vraiment trop serré pour rester sur place. Le service laisse à désirer 👎👎👎
Le barista préparait ma commande en jasant avec des clients au lieu de se concentrer. J'ai demandé un espresso simple allongé & on m'a servi un court.

Loved setting up to get some work done here! There is limited seating so getting there earlier is recommended for sure. The guys working the barista station were super nice & definitely knew lots of the regulars coming in, they were also giving recommendations to a couple of tourists coming in to look for fun things to do in the city.
I had one of their lattes & a pistachio cream croissant (highly recommend!). Very fun place!
