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!
Visiting from Toronto for the weekend & found this gem of a spot. Excellent, friendly staff & the breakfast hit the spot! Especially appreciated the staff accommodating my allergies & taking the time to check in with me while I was dining to make sure I was happy with my dish. This is customer service done right. Highly recommend!

I had the Norwegian Breakfast, & it didn't miss! The hollandaise was perfectly balanced, the eggs were cooked to perfection, & the presentation-flawless. I also, at the suggestion of the very friendly barista, ordered an iced coffee. Again, it was delicious. This place is a must try!
Very quiet spot for a breakfast or brunch. The order taking lady was very rude & dismissive when I was trying to look at the menu as it was my first time here. A small smile can go a long way.
The food was great though I had the salmon on avocado toast which comes with a spring salad. Kind of overpriced imo but still worth trying
This is the best breakfast & lunch place in Montreal!
Food is beyond delicious! Service is top notch!
Atmosphere is amazing!
Don't look any farther just come & see it for yourself!

First brunch in Montreal & so happy we came here! The food was so delicious. We ordered Norwegian breakfast, raspberry danish, avocado toast, salmon croissant & penne pasta. Everything was phenomenal! Would highly highly recommend this place! The seating is limited & usually full so may need to wait a bit I guess.
This place has enough space to sit & enjoy a good breakfast & a coffee. I ordered an avocado toast with sunny eggs. I could say that is was tasty but lacked a little bit of crunchiness. The coffee is delightful & the persons who were there very kind & knowledgeable of their menu. The lady who took our order, asked some questions to anticipate our meal. If you are close & hungry, stop by here.
Such a nice place! We had breakfast here 4 times during our stay. The coffee is very good & the pastries are delicous. The owners looked after us very well!

I recently visited a café that exceeded all my expectations! Their breakfasts are a true delight: vibrant flavor combinations, fresh ingredients, & impeccable service. I especially loved the pastries-each piece was perfectly made, soft, & aromatic. The café's atmosphere is very cozy & pleasant, making each visit a true treat for the soul. I recommend this place to anyone who appreciates high-quality food & comfort!
