Nice coffee shop with plenty of space. I ordered a cappuccino & a latte - both were good, with great coffee flavor. The place is spacious & a nice spot to get some work done.
I usually order a filter coffee with a splash of oat milk. Normally filter coffee, especially in chain restaurants, is bitter crap. Take the filter coffee here. The quality & taste are superior to anything else I've tried. Had a consistent quality experience here & hope to keep coming back here. Thank you for being a bright light in a dim coffee world Pista.
Really good chain. Quality coffee & chai (the spicy Say When variety) in a nice setting. They also sell pastries. I ordered a drty chai decaf soy latte.

I come here once a month for a good chat with coffee & food. The place is small but accommodating. Workers are really nice! LOVE the food. I'd personally recommend to try the Bagel Gravlax. Come early for good seats.

We were here in vacation & wanted to test some coffees in this area. This one was so good, that we were here all days we stayed in Montreal. We really liked the coffee & the croissants tastes like the original French croissants because of the quality.
Perfect stop for a study sesh or a quick coffee. The staff is competent & friendly. The coffee & pastry tasted really good. They have many plant mills & vegan food options. I will add this place to my study spots rotation!
The food & coffee were so delicious, the salmon bagel was the best one I've ever had in my life. Everything was fresh. The place is also really cute but abit tight. I like the fact that they have an area specific for no computers allowed so that it's saved for reading or people who are there to eat & not have to work or study :) Highly recommend & can't wait to go back
Nice, big coffee shop. Polite & efficient staff. While the coffee was good, it's nothing special & I've had better elsewhere. Nonetheless, a nice place to sit & chill.
