Really good café to grab something quick & light. Their beverages & dishes are well prepared, & their ingredients taste fresh.
The atmosphere is perfect for a relaxed brunch or to work with a nice coffee. Both the salad & the avocado toast we ordered were just perfect in terms of portions & flavor.
A pocket-size coffee shop. The staff was really nice, they have a few stool for you to sit (not many). Had an americano & a pain au chocolat , both were a great way to start my morning.

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!
It's the most cost effective coffee shop in old port , the coffee & dessert are all top-notch. ( May 2025)
Been here a few times , always maintain a high standard, very delicious desserts. We were not rich ten years ago, now we are ok. But my blood sugar is high & I can't eat sweets. Cet's la vie!
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
The food, service & atmosphere are nothing short of fantastic. Beautiful space with loads of artwork. Pastries are beautiful. Food is delicious. Came back twice & if I lived here I'd be here at least twice a week. Best food I had in Montreal & I was here 7 days. I had the avocado toast (sans black olives) twice but there are many other things on the menu I wanted.
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.
Ate here every morning that I stayed in Montreal & kept coming back for the amazing food, coffee, & kind employees. Must visit & try the almond croissant & bacon & egg croissant sandwich!!
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!
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!
