The potage du saison here was soooo good. When we were there, it was a creamy sweet potato & squash soup with croutons, we came back over & over just for that on our Montréal trip! The people are lovely too!

I am always seeking cozy café's with good chocolate chip cookies, & this one fits!
My suggestion - more curated coffee shop music, less pop - for a calm conversational/reading backdrop!

One of the best places in the area for coffee & tea. My espresso was excellent. I liked their outdoor seating area, which they seem to share with neighboring restaurants.

Stopped by on a road trip around the Plateau Mont-Royal neighbourhood. The baristas were friendly & efficient, & the place overall is very cozy on a Sunday.
Honestly I still think about the matcha latte - it's a little sweet & a little bitter, with a non-overwhelming earthy aftertaste. The drip coffee also had a smooth taste.
Will be coming back!

It was exactly what I needed. I was just coming from the doctor's office & after that visit needed some comfort. I needed an internal hug so I thought coffee & googled near by coffee shop. I found Cardynal & saw awesome reviews & thought why not.
The ambiance was perfect. Cozy, warm & just a great place to sit, eat & enjoy a moka latte like I did. I also got this amazing raisin & cinnamon foccacia with melted Brie cheese. Although there was just one person here kindness & professionalism brighten my day. This small moment that I got to spend with myself at the cafe definitely changed the trajectory of my day.

(updating review from a few months ago) Ordered an single shot Americano, they gave me a big cup with the same amount of water as a double shot Americano. Obviously, the "coffee" looked like dirty water! What kind of a coffee shop, on Mont-Royal Ave. no less, doesn't know how to keep the correct proportions on a cup of coffee! When I challenged them, i found out that they made a double espresso, then throw out half the coffee & filled the big cup with water! &, then charged me for two shots! Their excuse, their machine doesn't make single espressos! Lol. I got a replacement cup that was better proportioned, but the coffee was actually not very good, especially when you pay 5 freaking dollars for an espresso with hot water. Definitely not coming back!!!

Cozy cafe with a good vibe & good coffee. I just ordered a spicy decaf latte & it was really good. Staff is chill & yeah just a good experience. Wifi & indior & outdoor tables to work. It's a bit small so will fill up quick.
