Walking to Old Port & I discover this cute café. I asked the barista what he recommended, & he suggested the ham & cheese croissant. It didn't disappoint. I was delicious! It's near an intersection & hotel, so there are a lot of people that come in & out. I love the French style feel of the décor.

J'ai passé un excellent moment 😀
Le croissant & latté, un delice !!
Le cadre est trop chouette & on si sent bien de suite. Je d'ailleurs bu un deuxième latté !
Un grand merci pour votre accueil & gentillesse.

J'suis passé en bike, pis j'me suis fait pogner par les reviews en ligne - ben déçu. Le latté avait l'air beau, mais cr*** qu'y'était chaud ! Tellement que j'pouvais même pas y goûter. Pas pro pantoute, pis en plus c'est dangereux. La bouffe ? Rien d'extra : un ti croissant avec une tranche de fromage pis deux mini tranches de jambon - 11,50 $ ? Come on, c'est ben trop cher pour c'que c'est. Pis y'prennent même pas la carte. C'est clair que j'reviens pas icitte.
