Café tres bon & tres bonne viennoiseries, personnel rapide & efficace malgré l'achalandage. Je recommande
Pierre-Alexandre
Oh yes please;
Go ahead & prompt me for a:'15, no 18, oh wait maybe 20%?' tip just to pour your basic AF filtered coffee into a small cup (the only size offered/available - @ $3.50/cup no less) while asking me if I need room for sugar & cream for the two'black coffees' I just ordered, just so you can leave an inch of free space in the cup once I answer'no thank you'.

Pause café sympathique, personnel agréable & a l'écoute du client
Estelle
Très bon café, par contre personnel pas toujours agréable. Aussi, les horaires de fin de semaine sont variables, des fois les grilles sont fermées le midi mais sans horaire de retour.

How does this place have a single bad review?
Great coffee for very reasonable price considering the location & nice baristas.
Fabrice
Employés sympathique, rapide & efficace. Demander un café choix du chef & le café étais excellent je recommande fortement c'est place en plus de la belle vue, l'endroit est bien pour ce détendre. Pars contre d'éviter sur l'heure du dîner beaucoup de monde

Had a flat white & it was one of the best flat whites that I have had. The espresso flavour was very rich & smooth. Service as always is great & pretty quick.

Coffee was great, service was terrible. Unfriendly, had to repeat requests many times, gave me a half full coffee saying the price was for a smaller format than my personal 16oz cup (~4$ for a coffee refusing to fill it up ). I will not return, even if coffee was good

Got two iced lattes & they were delicious! Strong but not overwhelmingly so & the barista was super friendly.

Often, reviews are written after one particularly bad experience. I write this after having given this place one, two... seven chances. (I counted them.) over two months. I always order "for here", to enjoy my latte or cappuccino in a mug; six out of the seven times, they always, always put it in a paper cup. I started waiting at the prep, & would tell the barista "no! for here please". Then they'd unceremoniously dump the $9 latte into a mug. Often these episodes are accompanied by visible displeasure at having to do it in a mug. On my last visit, order a Matcha latte. $9. They started putting in a paper cup. "No, a mug please!". Pulls out a regular, smallish mug. A matcha latte goes in a large, café-au-lait style mug. "This is the largest we have". What am I paying $9 for? Asked for a glass of water, they "don't have any". Pointed me to the rest of the food court vendors to ask for water. I note that the latte was nine dollars. I wish I could say that at least the coffee is out of this world. It is fine. It qualifies as proper 3rd-wave coffee, but nothing exceptional to make up for the annoyed service or the exorbitant prices. Milks: it's 2024, it's time to stop charging for non-dairy milk, especially since they're the same price in grocery stores. Or at least, don't charge over a dollar ($1.09) for them. Its positives: excellent ambiance, both in the cafe with its decent-sized tables, & in the adjoining Cathcart open space, & its flood of sun. Beautiful place to sit. & I will sit there; but I will not be sipping a coffee from this place.

One of the best cortados I've tried before. Amazing flavor. The atmosphere is nice & I didn't have any extraordinary service at the counter but anyways, the coffee taste & preparation worths stoping by.
Loudnie
Café brûlé, biscuits trop sec mais 12$ parce que c'est dans le Cathcart. Au moins l'employé qui a fait le café avait le sourire.
Marina
Everything was good! But, not recommended for work due to the noisy atmosphere.
Jared
Good vibes in this little coffee shop in the Place Ville Marie esplanade. The flat white was excellent & the baristas were friendly & fast. The shop was not busy at all (on the Friday between Christmas & New Year's). It was a relief to find this gem & avoid Starbucks.
Lana
Good coffee, however, they pass on old pastries as new. The baristas will lie about the freshness of the pastries being sold. Received a chewy & very stale regular croissant this am.
