From the moment you walk in, you can tell this isn't just another cafe. It has a warm, genuine neighborhood vibe that makes you feel instantly welcome.

Let's start with the essentials: the coffee. It's fantastic. Seriously, you can taste the quality. My latte was perfectly smooth, with a rich flavor & no bitterness at all.

But the real showstopper here? The sandwiches. I am not exaggerating when I say they are legendary. They are generously sized, packed with incredibly fresh ingredients, & just bursting with flavor.

Now for the best part, the secret weapon: the backyard terrace. You walk through the cozy shop & emerge into this absolutely beautiful, peaceful little garden courtyard. It feels like a hidden oasis, completely shielded from the city noise.

This is the kind of place that gets everything right-the amazing food & coffee, the incredibly friendly staff, & an atmosphere that's simply unbeatable.

This is what a true neighborhood gem feels like. I can't recommend it enough.

I got the matcha & it was the best matcha I've had in a cafe in the mile end/plateau. It was big & used a good amount of quality matcha. There is so much seating, good internet, outlets, beautiful terrace & lots of food options. Highly recommend! There is clearly a lot of love & effort put into this place

Very charming cafe around the corner from where I happened to be staying for a work trip. It's hard to find anything open early/that fits with my work schedule, but this place opens early, the people incredibly kind, & the coffee superb. If you haven't already, I highly recommend to check it out!

The place is great! The coffees & food are good quality but my favorite part is that you can have a good coffee on a street that is not too crowded so I definitely recommend trying the place
