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.

¡Qué rico el capuccino! Lo acompané de un cannoli.
Para turistas la zona quizá está un poco apartada, pero recomiendo encarecidamente venir a Little Italy para tener la pausa del café aquí, ver la bonita iglesia Notre-Dame-de-la-Defense y el animado Marché Jean-Talon.

A must visit place. The Cafe Quattro, Cafe Freddo with milk & the Crema are spectacular. Loved my almond biscotti, as well!

Iced mocha was very good! Sizes are quite small for the price, so you'll have to settle for quality over quantity
