Incredible! Wonderful team, friendly customer service & most importantly ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS FOOD & DRINKS.
They definitely know what they are doing! Highly recommend. Also the space itself is beautiful & cozy. The best coffee shop & brunch spot in old Montreal for sure.
Upon entering, a waiter greeted us & seemed to misunderstand or miscommunicated to us what she wanted as we told her we were here to eat, but she lead us to a coffee table. This is during winter time with not much traffic in the shop. We were also given 1 menu, (2 pages back & forth) for 3 people so we requested another menu which someone else behind the counter responded by practically sliding it on the counter. The food was good & the atmosphere, other than the service, cozy. The service could use some work on the communication personally.

This café in Montreal instantly won my heart. It's spotless clean, cozy, & filled with pleasant music that makes you want to stay longer. The staff are incredibly kind & welcoming, & the service is quick & efficient.
The coffee is truly amazing - rich, smooth, & comforting, just like at home. The food is fresh & delicious, especially the avocado toast with salmon & the almond croissant. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Montreal. & the nicest surprise of all - it's run by Ukrainians, which made the visit even more special. 💛💙
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!

🌟 An amazing place!
This is not just a coffee shop - it's a cozy corner filled with the aroma of freshly ground coffee & genuine smiles. The atmosphere is warm & welcoming, the staff is always friendly, & the coffee is absolutely fantastic! 😍🫶
Everything was amazing! We had the avocado toast with an omelette, the salmon bagels, & some coffees. The staff were friendly, kind, & knowledgeable answering my groups many questions. The ambiance in this place is lovely too, so cozy! Will definitely be back.
Delicious food, amazing & very helpfull staff! We tried the chicken sandwich & the salmon bagel & lived both but i have to day the salmon was a bit better. The mochaccino was also very good.
For students, the place is very cozy & comfortable to study & not to crowded.
The best cafeteria in the area. Friendly atmosphere, great food, the best prices, quiet, cozy. It is great to meet with friends or for business or just to relax, work or read your Bible.
I love it!
