Belle découverte ce matin au hasard de ma balade Montréalaise.
Un chocolat chaud, un financier au chocolat à tomber parterre, bel accueil, Bashung en fond musical. Au top !!!

Les meilleures viennoiseries ! Elles sont vraiment délicieuses, bien beurrées, bien flaky & croustillantes, c'est un pur bonheur, un vrai petit goût de France ! Les petites pâtisseries sont aussi délicieuses, mention spéciale pour le roulé & l'accueil est vraiment chaleureux, on se sent comme à la maison

Partially eaten scone is proof we could help but scarf down the best croissants I've ever had an a delightful lavender scone. Cortado was smooth & perfectly balanced, & Romain has incredible vibes - it's like walking into the cafe of an old friend who became 10x too cool to know you but is still nice to you because they're just that chill of a person.

My wife & I were visiting Montreal a couple weeks ago & had to come here to enjoy this gem of a cafe because it was mentioned in a recent murder mystery book by Louise Penny called the grey wolf. We enjoyed a grilled cheese sandwich, a BLT, a latte & a flat white & everything was amazing. We were able to sit & relax & enjoy just being there. Talked with the owner for a bit - really friendly & appreciated hearing our story of coming there because of a story. We'll be back. Definitely recommend!

Great food, extremely friendly host, amazing atmosphere. This place is a gem. Get the grilled cheese with smoked meat. Croissants are also top notch. Coffee was perfection.

The cafe was across from our hotel & we were so happy that we stumbled upon it our first morning. The cafe is adorable & so inviting. The food was amazing. The drinks even better. The gentleman work possibly the owner was friendly & helpful with suggestions. I loved the London Fog with lavender. Should seek out if in the area.
