Not in the best neighbourhood, from the outside didn't really catch my attention, but on google said the have a great matcha latte & home made pastries, so I gave it a try.
2023.
The atmosphere was nice, the music too.
You'll find a lot of teenagers doing their homework & others just looking at their computers or phones.
I seat whit two other people on a big table . My matcha latte was cold , my muffin was good, but the guy told me it was apple caramel, & it really was blueberry's .
2025z my daughter told me they have a great focaccia sandwich, so I went to try it. Apparently it's not in the menu anymore. What they had wasn't really tempting at all.

It's a cute cafe located right next to station Saint-Laurent. The food feels a bit overpriced for the quality though, I spent 15$ on a small carrot cake & a latte & the carrot cake had raisins which was quite the surprise (not in a good way). It was alright, nothing wow. Very cute spot however.

Ordered the sandwich, but would say it's a bit lacking in seasoning. A good sandwich albeit not the best ive had here in montreal.

Le service est parfait ! On vous apporte votre repas à votre table choisi. C'est plutôt tranquille & les employés sont très professionnels. Rien à reprocher j'y retournerai encore. Je recommande le avocado toast & le matcha latte.
