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.
