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

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!
