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 🙂

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

My friend brought me here because she loves the place. Coffee was a 10/10 & I still sometimes think about the grilled cheese 🤤 the owner was super friendly as well!

Gorgeous Fabulous Corner Cafe 🌸🌺

The entrance is beautifully designed with floral, located at the corner of a building. Everything about this cafe is carefully designed & sculpted, so much to take in & see. A comfortable place for a day visit, co-working, reading or just people watching. The owner is super welcoming & funny, he is also super passionate & it shows in his excitement to share the day's specialties & hand-crafted coffees.

My boyfriend & I had the grilled cheese, flakey chocolate danish, flat white ☕ & a cold press drink. Spent a brief 30mins absorbing the spectacular space but definitely needed more time. Will be sure to return & try out everything on the menu.

Definitely one of my favorite cafes to capture photos. Enjoy & hope you may find yourself in this captivating place soon.

i absolutely adore this place - the service is lovely & all the employees are such wonderful people. the vibes & atmosphere is immaculate & it’s a smaller, quieter cafe amazing for catching up with people. the baked goods are what makes this place so fantastic & i would highly recommend the ham & cheese croissant.

Loved it here. Great music playing while the owner prepared our coffee & meals.

Watching the barista prepare the coffee was something nice to watch & he was super friendly to speak with while he was doing it.

I had the grilled cheese which was delicious & every seat in the place were pleasant spots to sit. I always like a view of the street.

Hope to come back here someday.

Charmant petit café aux portes du Vieux-Montréal. Personnel sympatique. Le grilled-cheese avec smoked-meat est excellent. Seul petit inconvénient; ils n'acceptent que le paiement par débit.
