The backyard terrace is frequently highlighted as a peaceful, garden-like retreat, with front and back outdoor seating that suits groups or a working visit thanks to good wifi and outlets. The menu offers a wide range of options including vegetarian and vegan choices, reliable pastries, and Greek style drinks, with many noting fair prices and transparent ingredient lists. The overall impression is that this cafe succeeds in balancing quality beverages, hearty food, friendly staff, and a vibe that invites returning, making it feel like a hidden gem in Mile End and a place where both the early riser and the lunch crowd will find something to love.

On voulait aimer puisque c'est un nouveau café dans le quartier. Le café n'est pas vilain. La bouffe & l'ambiance, pas vraiment. Le service est correct. Peut-être qu'à l'été, avec la terrasse, ça sera mieux. - Not worth it.

Just discovered this cute little coffee shop. We went for brunch on a Saturday & had freddo cappuccinos as well as a biscotti & a sandwich. Amazing decor, sweet staff & delicious coffee & food. Definitely a hidden gem in the heart of Mile-End.

Best coffee ever & best staff

Oct 9, 2025

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.

The best decaf Americano ever. Incredible. Exquisite banana bread: fresh ingredients, not too sweet. An honest owner who guides you truthfully with the ingredient list & dissuades you from purchasing items with hidden personal allergens . Prices totally reasonable . We will definitely be back!!!

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

J'ai tout aimé, le co-propriétaire est tout simplement charismatique! C'est lui qui nous a servi! Nous avons appris que ca ne faisait pas longtemps qu'ils ont ouvert!

Cafe Tenini vient des 2 prénoms des propriétaires ensemble 😇

J'ai pris un espresso glacé avec un peu de lait d'amande & un thé glacé pêche-gingembre de la marque Camellia Sinensis, tout simplement délicieux!!!! La marque de thé Camellia Sinensis fait partie des meilleurs & ils ont plusieurs choix à offrir sur leur menu ( matcha, camomille, thé vert,…) l'espresso est de qualité, si vous aimez le café moins fort le latté glacé est parfait!

Je pouvais prendre du lait d'avoine ou d'amande à la place du lait 3%, une femme comblé !

Ils ont une petite terrasse a l'arrière tout simplement adorable, expérience intime & en nature avec les arbres!

C'est certain que j'y retourne! Je conseille a tout le monde 😇 donnez leur de l'amour, il le merite, ils travaillent très fort 🤗

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!
