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!

It was a rainy morning, my wife & our son & I just walked around the old ports & berry area,& we randomly found this gem just at the cross of the roads! Warm atmosphere welcomed us straight away ,boss is so kind even we only speak English! Bagel & croissant are amazing & heated for us! Definitely would come back next time when we got a chance to visit Montreal !

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.

Just visited this Cafe from Vancouver. Love this place. It's such a cute corner street cafe, with flowers around the door & an adorable yellow bench. The owner is wonderful, super friendly, sharing his story & journey. The Chai & croissants were the best I've ever had. So airy, fluffy & soft. The scones were heavenly. Such a delight to be in a place with good food, great ambience & service. Everywhere I went in Montreal I was told to visit this place & I'm so glad I did.

Le café & les pâtisseries sont à tomber par terre ! Sans compter la gentillesse du propriétaire ! C'est avec plaisir que je reviendrais.
