What a wonderful cafe!! Truly one of the best-kept secrets in Montreal. A MUST-VISIT!! Roman is the sweetest owner & very happy to help. Everything is made in house & absolutely delicious. Plus - the aesthetic cannot be beat. It is absolutely perfect. I'm transported when I go!!

Super cute cafe with a very friendly owner. Everything on the menu is good, but especially the lavender matcha. Google hours seem to be a bit inaccurate, though.

Cute cafe with the patisseries. We ordered ice matcha with lavender syrup & another one with maple syrup. The lavender one is aromatic. Both are nice but the sense of matcha is not that strong. The croissant with almond cream & apricot jam is so tasty. The outdoor seats are so chill, good for sitting & sipping.

Fantastic cafe on the edge of Old Montreal. Coffee was excellent, & our daughter's hot chocolate was made from scratch. There was a wide selection of pastries, all delicious. The owner (Romain) is friendly & fun. After taking coffees to go the first day, we stayed & enjoyed our coffees in the cafe the second day. The space is comfortable, & there was plenty of room for our group of six.

Such a cute spot that's easy to access. Very clean & a good vibe - small seating areas but comfortable & very quaint. We were warmly greeted & helped when we walked in. The person at the counter took his time with us & made us feel liked valued customers, even though it was our first time in the cafe. The food & drinks were delicious! We had the matcha latte with almond milk & lavender syrup, the croissant sandwich, grilled cheese & the cheddar scone. We also received some of the peach ginger iced tea that was super refreshing. We'd come back & definitely recommend this little spot 🙂

A charming cafe with great food & lovely service. The lavender scone was particularly good. We also got the matcha oat milk latte with lavender syrup which was one of the best matcha lattes I've had in a while. Barista was welcoming & thoughtful & I also love the plates they use.

The London fog with lavender was outstanding. Great coffee although no pour over or bulletproof but this is a traditional French cafe so I wouldn't expect that. The barista was great & he makes the best hot chocolate in town!

Endroit exquis idéal pour un café tranquille. C'est de loin la meilleure chocolatine & le meilleur moka que j'ai eu de ma vie. L'accueil & le service est excellent. Je recommande.

Wowww coming in the little cafe is like walking into Grandma's house. So warm & inviting! Smells delicious you want to try everything ! I had the fresh grilled croissant ham & cheese sandwich - melt in your mouth! Paired it with an amazing cappuccino with an added heart shaped foam which I thought was the cutest thing. Having trouble leaving. Lollll

Une incursion en France dans cet endroit sympathique. Café & croissants délicieux. Vieilles chansons françaises. Si c'était plus près de chez moi, j'y serais tout le temps!
