Super café, super service (aux tables), un simple bagel transformé en régal avec fromage & une très bonne petite compte en accompagnement. Aucun stress pour reprendre un 2è café & profiter des lieux. Un très bel endroit.

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.
