Spacious cafe with some awesome baristas. Really phenomenal pour over & espresso drinks. Definitely grabbing some beans from this roaster in the future!

One of my favorite cafes in Montreal! Love all the drinks & the desserts.
Although ever so often the desserts tend to be a little bit dry. The service is wonderful & the coffee is so good. It's cute & cozy inside & the playlist is always nice. Also really appreciate that there are outlets & you can work on the longer tables in the back or on the side. It's really quaint to work at!

The wifi barely works if there are a lot of people on their laptops, so it's not a great place to work. The staff are not very friendly. It's quite dark inside, even in the middle of the day. Coffee & other drinks are decent.

The definition of "independent cafe" when you think of one, but still somehow better. Great lighting & vibes, whether you need to get some work done, or just want to sit with a cup of. (I don't drink coffee so unfortunately no coffee snob opinions here. I had the strawberry lemonade though which was so exquisite I had three glasses; I also had the grilled cheese & soup of the day - today's was butternut squash - & that was tasty & filling!) This will definitely be a must for all of my future Montreal visits.

GREAT GREAT VIBE to work or catch up with a friend. Tables are close to each other but the space is open & airy. Different kinds of sittings, tables, counter tops/bars. Lots of plugs & ports to charge your device addiction. Table service is nice to have. Better than waiting at the bar for someone to yell your name wrong & spell it even worst & hand you an charred bean drink. Here the review of the reason you may want to go to a coffee shop... the brews & espresso drinks are great here. Loved my cortado! Perfect steamed milk for a smooth & still strong tasting espresso drink. Wished I had taken a pic before finishing it. Will gladly come back here to oblige my taste buds & caffeine fix. Good job baristas!
