Le bacon avait un air étrange & les rebord de l'oeuf était d'une texture plastique. Comme si il avait passer beaucoup trop de temps dans le présentoirs… Finalement, mon café latté caramel glacé goûtait l'eau dès la première gorgé…

The drink is okay but not the best. But the service is so bad. 1st time i come, the arabic lady always on her phone, even i look at her, she not welcome me there. I order Matcha Latte, she didnt ask ice or hot. So she decided hot. 2nd time still on phone, then the guy told her to focus, she start to say hello & very unkind face. & not welcome. Maybe i'm Asian & she doesnt like me. With white she always smile but asian she never welcome. But the another girl is super nice , she always wear cap. I hope you gonna change the attitude, i know she is one of the owner but with that service & the drink like that, i could pay more in the chez portier near there, the latte much more good. Expensive but WORTH.

Certainement l'endroit idéal pour étudier ou travailler chaque jour ! Situé près du Vieux-Montréal, la salle à manger bénéficie d'une lumière naturelle abondante grâce à ses nombreuses fenêtres, ce qui favorise la productivité & crée une ambiance chaleureuse. La nourriture, les pâtisseries & les boissons sont toujours fraîches & délicieuses. Aussi, les nouveaux propriétaires & les employés sont extrêmement attentionnés avec tous les clients, faisant de ce lieu un endroit de choix pour une pause café!
