Chez l'Éditeur is described as a spacious, bookish cafe with a warm, easygoing vibe that makes it a good place to study, work, or read, with comfy seating and plenty of natural light. The coffee is frequently praised and the library setting delights book lovers, though some visits note inconsistencies in drink quality, limited food options, and occasional noise when the biggest table is occupied. A few reviewers mention friendly staff and thoughtful preparation, while others point to higher prices relative to the value and a few misses in service.
J'ai bien aimé l'ambiance, je suis allée pour la première fois avec mon club d'écriture. Il n'y avait pas beaucoup de monde, c'était un jeudi après-midi.
Je ne savais pas que les plats étaient juste végétariens, donc un peu déçu, mais bon. J'ai pris un panini au pois & bananes plantain, c'était assez bon. J'ai aussi pris un muffin carottes & une limonade. Ils ont aussi une belle collection de livre québécois/français.
J'aime beaucoup cet endroit, même si parfois bruyant lorsque les groupes sont là, surtout pour un lieu qui se veut café lecture. Il y a pourtant une salle insonorisée pour les groupes mais qui n'est plus déployée, c'est dommage.
Ambiance très cosy & chaleureuse, un très bel endroit.

What an atmosphere! Glad I discovered the place waiting for an appointment. What else would anybody want other than fine coffee & small plates & BOOKS to read?
This has become one of my go-to spots to work, read, & unwind. The café is very spacious, with a unique book-focused setup; it almost feels like a library at first. The coffee was great. Highly recommended for anyone in the neighborhood looking for a comfortable place to read or get some work done.

J'aime venir dans ce café pour étudier : c'est lumineux, spacieux, les cafés sont bons & le service agréable !
Vous l'avez deviné, vous pouvez utiliser votre ordinateur 👩?💻 il y a des prises au besoin 🔌 donc c'est l'idéal !
J'ai aimé leur pain au chocolat & le sandwich 🥪 autrement je prends souvent que des boissons ☕?
J'ai jamais mangé la 🤣🤣 mais je suis allé travailler à cette endroit pour changer des lumières de sécurité mdrrrrr la pire avis du monde 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😂😅😂🤣
Un très grand espace pour travailler, souvent vide, surement parce que les produits sont cher pour la qualité. Croissant sec, café latté très ordinaire (un des pires que j'ai bu dans un café…)
Vraiment un fabuleux concept que de mélanger un café avec une librairie! En tant que grande amatrice de café & de livres, je suis forcément conquise. Je me suis sentie très à l'aise pour travailler tranquillement un mercredi matin. Je reviendrai dès que l'occasion se présente!
Easy-going place. Drinks are lacking & lukewarm. The way they presented the drinks was basic, & a bit messy even though it wasn't busy. They weren't stressed, a good thing of course. They weren't on top of things however; missing ingredients to make drinks which they didn't check until after they said what was available. There wasn't much to buy for food, a few old muffins, none of it standing out either. We didn't eat there.
You may study in peace unless you see a crowd together at the biggest table. They display books you can read & purchase.
It's a place you'd enter on a whim, unsure whether to stop by again but might think about after a first experience.
I personally decided to try visiting to meet a friend for the quieter space from the reviews I read through while searching for quiet café spots. I was pleased it wasn't crowded, but it wasn't as quiet as I hoped it to be. We are both soft-spoken. It would have likely have been a better experience if the biggest table wasn't occupied by the large group as they were quite loud. Nothing bad, just straining on the ears & we had to speak louder than was comfortable. We were there for a long while regardless, enjoying each others company.

Giving 2 stars overall for the mediocre service... I came here twice, & on both times the baristas were confused AF, didn't know how to serve people by the right order, didn't know their own food items (gave us a raisin muffin, told us it was a pecan muffin), didn't know which orders are for here & which orders are to go.. it was an absolute mess
