Ce café est vraiment incroyable ! Le cadre épuré est très agréable, & côté nourriture, ils proposent d'excellentes alternatives sans gluten. Mention spéciale à la super barista, pétillante & attentionnée, qui prend soin de chaque commande.

It's one of those cafés that makes you feel home & want to come back again & again :)
Went there randomly cause I was in the middle of an emergency & needed to charge my phone. Staff was lovely, kind & helpful. I got to drink a nice matcha while I waited, pleasantly surprised ! Really nice spot & nice people

loved the calm & friendly vibe, the lighting in there is stunning! everything was so attentively made, & the smoothie bowls are absolutely gorgeous 🍉🍊🍓
Awesome experience. I got a cappuccino for $4.75 which was quite tasty. Myriam is an amazing barista, friendly to every single customer, always giving complements, & a very enthusiastic conversationalist. I went on a Sunday & did work on my laptop from roughly 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, & there was always an empty seat & table available. The seats are comfortable & the tables are sizable. The aesthetic was impressively well-thought-out.

Edit:
They were kind to reply to my review. I appreciate this kind of response. I will visit again when I'm in the neighborhood.

The space looks lovely & the decor is great.
We ordered smoothies & a chai latte.
Smoothies were very average in taste & they were too thick to drink with the straw.
The barista clearly had forgotten my chai latte, since she had served people who ordered after me, & when I went to ask about it, she said it's coming. Then started on actually making it when I went back to my seat. A simple'oh, sorry! I had forgotten it.' would have made the encounter so much better.
Service & attitude could definitely improve!
I love smoothies-you will never see me without one in my hand. However, most smoothie places in Montreal don't really blow me away. This one is now the exception.
I love their unique flavour combinations & the quality ingredients they put into their drinks & food. The purple lotus was absolutely delicious & it was a great way to start off my afternoon. My boyfriend & I each got a croissant-I got the cheese croissant & he got the pistachio one-both were incredible. My boyfriend takes great pride in his croissants because he's French, so if it gets the thumbs up from him you know it's good.
The barista was also exceptionally sweet. She looked very happy to be there & was very knowledgeable about the menu. I become quite indecisive when choosing food from a new place, but she was so kind & patient!
Loved my time at the cafe on a sunday morning. It felt like a treat to myself. Lovely background music, big windows into a pedestrian street, beautiful interior design & most importantly a smoothie bowl & café served with care & so delicious (to the eye & taste) that I was looking forward to coming back the following weekend.
Café'ta raie' comme j'aime l'appeler est très bien. À une autre époque, ça aurait valu une lettre à l'éditeur.
Le café est correct. Le smoothie bowl est excellent, mais si vous vous entraînez pour un meet de powerlifting dans la catégorie poids lourd, considérez bonifier d'un biscuit ou deux.
