The coffee was the good flavor I like. The service wasn't particularly friendly, though. They were so curt that I felt awkward ordering.

Très décevant...Un double expresso allongé fait avec de l'eau chaude dans laquelle on ajoute du café! Mais ce n'est pas un américano selon le fort peu sympathique barista. Franchement, quel service. & en plus on te fait sentir mal. Dommage.

Stopped by for a cafe & breakfast with a friend. Service was friendly, quick & had good vibes.

The Avocado toast was delicious & cappuccino with pastashio milk was yummy.

We came here every single day during our F1 weekend in Montreal. The coffee was great & everyone was very kind. They had the perfect to go breakfast items for a quick fuel up before heading to the train station. We will definitely come back!

Popped in for a tasty latte to-go while wandering in Montreal. Service was friendly, atmosphere was great, with an appealing playlist, so we stayed. Quite a large space, which appears conducive to setting up a laptop & hanging out. Latte was on the smaller size (12oz?) for $6.20, but would return.
