The muffins, especially lotus speculos and chocolat noisette, are a recurring highlight and the space is often described as convenient for work or socializing.

Local coffee shop with basic drinks & good muffins.
Stopped by to get a quick meal & soak up some local café vibes. The space was larger than most coffee shops I've seen in the city, but nearly every seat was taken. Mostly students studying or hanging out.
They had a wide selection of muffins that all looked tempting, so I went with the chocolat noisette & a matcha latte. The matcha, though, tasted more like sweetened milk than tea. Closer to a Dunkin' version than anything matcha. Even after a bite of Nutella from the muffin, the drink still tasted sugary (Probably caters better to a younger crowd). The muffin itself, though, was soft & satisfying.
Right in the middle of Mont Royal ave this is a ok spot, specially during summer. I went there many time to chill out but I m not going anymore. Coffees & cakes are ok but average(compared to all famous bakeries around), however pear Muffin is awesome. Staff is not making anything to give you a special atmosphere & are not always that friendly, specially one young lady with glasses(she's so weird & unfriendly someone who shouldn't work at a coffee with clients).
Coffee was a bit bland, not suitable for people who like a stronger taste. But the tea tastes really good. Overall a great environment & the service was amazing!
Staff were very nice, ice brew latte was amazing. Prices typical for a coffee shop. Looks like a great place to meet friends or to study. Will have to return to try their muffins.

the thing about this place is that it's essentially just a study/work spot imo. it's like starbucks quality if the vibes in starbucks weren't as bad. it's like not a place you go out of your way to get a coffee/snack from, but if you need somewhere to work & want some food then it's your best bet in the area. service is 4 stars bc they're just chilling idk no complaints u kno
What a very nice ambiance & cozy environment 🥰🫶 service super friendly & absolutely love the vibe in there ! It's my friend's favorite coffee place to go after work & I totally understand why ! I tried my friend's order ( the lattee regular one ) with one of the muffin there to share with him & it was really good!! Will absolutely come back again whenever I pass by the area 💕💕💕
This is a nice cafe with good coffee & a good selection of food (sandwiches, cakes, etc). The service is very friendly. A bit crowded (lots of people) & yes, it would be ideal if people respect each other & don't put coats on empty tables because then other people won't be able to fit at that table.

Friendly service & great coffee! The Mont Royal location is perfect to grab a coffee & take a break from exploring the plateau area. The crema café is delicious. The mocha latte was well made too. Can feel a bit crowded & difficult to move around when too many people in the café, but still highly recommend if in the area.
