I frequent this cafe often & it's so pleasant to be in & work from! It's cozy, the music is always good, & it's probably the best coffee by a mile!

The service is always immaculate & I especially love coming in & seeing familiar faces. Everyone is so warm & you can tell they genuinely care to serve you!

Thank you for being the best cafe!

Personnel sympas mais…prix exorbitants ! Espresso simple à 4 $. Croissants (pas très intéressants ) à 4 $ !
À quelques pas plus loin : Café Ô Petit Paris : espresso à 2,50 $ Croissants (beaucoup plus beaux) à 2, 50$ aussi.

C'est véritablement choquant.

A cortado: equal parts espresso & warm milk, perfectly balanced, no foam overload, just smooth, rich coffee with a silky finish.
Small, strong, & precise. One sip & it's all depth, warmth, & quiet intensity, the kind of coffee that doesn't need to shout to be unforgettable. #CafeCardynal #Montreal
