Definitely a spot worth trying. Their cappuccino was very good. I also got their prosciutto sandwich - usually I am not a fan of prosciutto but this sadnwich was very good! & I got the mixed meat sandwich - another great contender. The bread they used for the sandwiches is light & toasty so it doesn't feel too heavy & doesn't hurt the roof of your mouth. The sandwiches don't have any sauce in them & yet they are flavourful. Next time I might ask them to make mine spicy as I was just missing some heat to round it all up.
Would recommend making a trip here. Parking was also easy to find on a Friday holiday morning. Could be busier on weekends.

A must try if you're remotely near Little Italy or Jean-Talon.

The products they serve like coffees, espresso's & cappuccino's are above average. But I think the overall atmosphere really plays into your tasting experience.

It's a must stop whenever my friends are in town, a great place to start your day or mid morning.

Last time I tried the sandwich without any expectations & it was great. The bread is toasted giving it a hard toasted outside but until you bite into it you feel the fluffy flavourful dough. The ingredients they use are fresh & top notch quality. The sandwich is nothing crazy but its simplicity & ratio of ingredients make it one of my favourite sandwich's I've had.

Been wanting to try this spot for a long time & I finally did. Easily best cappuccino in Mtl! Also the cortado is tasty. Tried the panini that the barista suggested & it was super delicious as well as the cheese ciabatta. The service is friendly fast & efficient & the cannolis were fresh & out of this world !

Leur cappuccino est vite fait, bien fait, sans fla fla superflu, & absolument délicieux. C'est le cappuccino à la fois le plus simple & le mieux maîtrisé que j'ai pu goûter à Montréal. La base de café est équilibrée, avec rien qui dépasse, excepté peut-être une pointe d'amertume supplémentaire qui est tout à fait stimulante & appropriée. La mousse de lait est à la fois riche & légère, saupoudrée de juste assez de cacao pour faire ressortir les autres saveurs sans les éclipser.

Les gens qui ne connaissent que Starbucks devraient venir ici pour découvrir c'est quoi un vrai café bien fait.

5 étoiles bien méritées!👍

Comme à chaque visite, le café plus précisément le cappuccino est d'une qualité supérieure. Le personnel est toujours souriant & offre un service rapide & efficace. Il peut arriver qu'il y ait beaucoup d'attente, puisque c'est un café extrêmement populaire. Toutefois, l'attente & le détour en valent largement la peine grâce à l'excellente qualité du café. Je recommande cet endroit à 100 %, un véritable petit bijou.

Today was going to be the last time I would drink their over-hyped coffee. No longer will I (we) accept bitter, burnt tasting coffee. Note: both the Cappuccino & Macchiato tasted aweful. Over the years, this place has become incredibly over-rated. The only thing left is the ambiance that lures people into their web. BTW, many others feel the same way I do & just stopped coming here. Sorry to be so tough, it just had to finally be shared. Stop taking your clients for granted.
