Neurodivergent & queer friendly, bonne bouffe, bon café. Service excellent, le staff est super. Adapté pour les poussettes & les personnes à mobilité réduite, assez grand pour venir avec des enfants en bas âge ou handicapés. Options végétariennes goûteuses! La musique est toujours bonne!

Stopped by this place during my 3 night stay. The vibes were great (think study cafe with nice chatter in the background & warm vibes). The baked goods were also super super good, I could not stop ordering the choclate crossiants lol. Out of the 3 cafes I visited this was the best so take my review with a grain of salt.

Popped in this morning before heading to the airport & was thrilled with this cafe. I loved the vibe - quaint & cozy. I was looking for some coffee to take home with me & was helped by a friendly staff member. He talked me through the options & I selected two types to bring home & I'm anxious to try them. I ordered a cappuccino which was as beautiful as it was tasty. Many people were enjoying the environment; some obviously working, others reading, some catching up with friends & then little ol' me the single traveler. If you're in the area, highly recommend you stop in & enjoy.

Un des meilleurs café latte a Montréal. Un service hors pairs, sympatique. ils ont même osé déplacer des gens pour faire place a notre petit groupe. Jamais vu ça ailleurs. Bravo. Atmosphère chaleureuse & conviviale. Parfait pour caser la grisaille d'automne.

I usually love cafe Pista but today exceptionally I was disappointed honestly. I had ordered an iced chai with regular milk & nothing in my beverage tasted like chai.. I don't know the amount of chai y'all put usually but I got me a cold cup of milk but the cookie was delicious

Amazing place to work with good hot beverages. If I had to change anything about the place, it would be the music which is a bit too loud at times.
