Laid back ambiance, very friendly staff, superb Cortado & a very tasty vegetarian wrap. Highly recommended.

This has become a regular stop on our visits to Montréal. It is a delightful spot, with friendly & charming hosts who always welcome us warmly. The drinks are perfectly created, whether hot or cold, & the treats to accompany them are always imaginative & tasty. On this visit we tried & greatly enjoyed their unique grilled cheese. This isn't your average grilled cheese. It's a perfectly grilled masterpiece with a most creamy & delicious cheese & some equally tasty smoked meat. A real treat that I'd recommend highly! So happy there's such a place.

We tried many different cafes in Montreal during our 5 day stay & this was my absolute favourite! Great lattes, extremely friendly service & peaceful & unique ambiance. The croissant was more like a cornetto but it was freshly baked & didn't take away from the experience. Would highly recommend!

The nicest guys work here! The owner is very friendly & kind. We liked all the food we tried, especially the ham & cheese croissant, & the coffee is also good. Very cute & relaxing space. We came here most mornings during our stay in Montreal & definitely recommend it as a breakfast spot if you're in the area. (Bring cash if you don't have a Canadian debit card)

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 🙂

This place is a GEM! Amazing cappuccino, but better yet the CROISSANT! One of the best I've had in my entire life. I can't recommend this little coffee shop enough, probably the best in Montreal.
