Maybe it was the fact Covid doesn't let me out anymore, or maybe it was the fact that Hoche Café is really just that amazing. My morning espresso was literally the best I can remember having coupled with a generous & savory breakfast sandwich, & it was made all the better by the knowledgeable, upbeat & friendly staff! I also purchased ground coffee, & was blown away by the amazing (& local) selection, as well as the wonderful advice of the in-house barista. I'll be back...SOON! Thanks Hoche-Café for starting my day off perfectly!

Canard cafe is a neighborhood cafe, very laptop & business meetings friendly. I go there with my laptop & can easily spend the day. Coffee (double espresso lungo) is on point, food is really good, I love their Montreal grilled cheese sandwich, the Tahiti salad & their daily soups are served with freshly grilled baguette giving the soup an extra punch. Their dessert & pastries are good by their own merit, the dates square are my favorite.

I will be honest, the coffee was not my favorite. If you like citrus/acidic coffee, this would be your spot. I did not try any of the food so I cannot comment on this. The atmosphere of the café is cute & cozy, I would definitely come study here!

In a uniques way I liked this coffe shop in Montreal. The table to be served is given at the order cash counter manually by a stand having the number. So the food server knows where you are. The atmosphere looked pretty serene. Ladies & customers having their sip of coffee by the window, reading a book (yes book) or the modern addictive trend of internet on their 📲

I recently visited Canard Café in Montreal with my partner for lunch, & we had a decent experience. My partner ordered the ham sandwich on a baguette, & I opted for the goat cheese salad. While the food was good, it didn't stand out as anything exceptional. I also ordered a cortado, which was enjoyable, but I did notice a few issues in the coffee preparation process. It was disappointing to see that they didn't use a scale to ensure precise espresso dosing. Additionally, the barista's steaming technique seemed improper & caused the milk to "scream," which can be detrimental to the machine. Furthermore, the barista's lack of constant hand contact with the pitcher for temperature judgment was a letdown. Lastly, the espresso was tamped using improper technique, lacking the even bed leveling before tamping & a 90° angle tamp. In summary, Canard Café provided a decent meal, but the coffee preparation could use some improvements for a more refined experience.
