I recently discovered an incredible café in the Old Port, & it was truly an aesthetic experience. Honestly, it's so hard to find places like this in Montreal nowadays - every detail is thoughtfully designed, from the color palette to the smallest elements of the decor. Everything feels harmonious, stylish, & full of character.
The food (breakfast) was absolutely amazing: fresh, flavorful, & clearly made with care & quality ingredients. I also want to highlight the staff - they were incredibly kind, polite, & attentive, making the whole experience even more special.
The atmosphere is calm & relaxing, with soft jazz playing in the background, no rush, just a perfect place to unwind & enjoy the moment. It's definitely a spot I'll be coming back to again & again 🤍
Absolutely amazing place!! Stunning interior with wonderful artwork. Incredible coffee & pastries!!! We will definitely be back!!
P.S. We are back again in this absolutely fantastic place! This time we had their brunch. It was something incredible!! The Norwegian & Ukrainian breakfasts were absolutely amazing!! & as for the homemade lemonade- you have to try it!! I highly recommend this absolutely amazing coffee shop!!
P.S. We were very pleasantly surprised that there is a ban on the use of computers here!! There is a lot of space for those who want to enjoy the atmosphere, read or have a lively conversation 🤗🤩😋

Stumbled into the most incredible Ukrainian breakfast spot in Old Montreal completely by accident & what luck that was. The food was absolutely outstanding: authentic, beautifully presented, & full of flavor. Every detail, from quality to appearance, was perfect. Even more impressive was the warm & attentive service something that feels rare to find in Canada. Traveling from Miami, I did not expect to discover one of the best foods here in our trip to Montreal. A true hidden gem.
I like to support Ukrainian owned businesses & this one was conveniently located near Notre Dame.
In terms of food & coffee, it was pretty average & didn't match the many other great breakfast spots in Montreal, so I wouldn't return.
I had the vegetarian avocado toast, & felt the bread was a bit soggy - a crustier sourdough would help. The espresso macchiato was very dark roasted & also not my favorite.
Awesome little cafe! Cafe latte & Matcha Late are fantastic. It's was nice that the large hot drinks were actually large!Enjoyed the shakshuka & Ukrainian Breakfast. The raspberry & white chocolate scone was excellent! The raspberry crumble cake was unbelievably good!

The food was excellent! Sandwiches & traditional breakfast. Salmon looked great & I enjoyed the Ukrainian sausage 🙂 Tables are ideal for 2 or 4 but they accommodated us as 6 & we still had space. Good coffee too.
Stopped in for breakfast…My husband had the salmon avocado toast & I had a cappuccino, with a delicious almond croissant! Wow! What a treat! We loved every delicious bite!!
I just had a breakfast at cafeterra , it is a delightful brunch spot with a warm, modern vibe & beautifully crafted dishes that feel both comforting & elevated. The Norwegian breakfast was a standout, light, healthy , & perfectly balanced & the coffee was smooth & rich. Friendly service & thoughtful details made the whole experience feel special.
I highly recommend this place for a good brunch !
We order the Norwegian breakfast. It's a good portion, perhaps for small eaters can share. Friendly & a nice atmosphere. Becomes crowded around 10am. Roughly $30 per person.

Wonderful cafe right next to downtown Montreal! It has a peaceful atmosphere & is always cozy, clean, & comfortable-perfect for spending time with friends. The menu is quite varied, with a great selection of coffee drinks. Whether you're stopping by in the morning or coming for lunch, it's a great spot.
My absolute favorite is the Norwegian breakfast with salmon, avocado, & scrambled eggs. If you're more into bacon & sausages, the Ukrainian breakfast would be a great match. The staff is always nice & helpful.
Highly recommend this place-have a great time while visiting Montreal!
