Merci encore à la fille aux yeux bleus pour son sourire & sa radiance lors de son service ce dimanche matin. Ça a éclairé ma journée ! Je repasserai. Je recommande.

Coffee & hot chocolate are fine, however the atmosphere is meh. No music & it's very cold. Bathrooms are also not clean.

my trip was great before i decided to stop by this coffee shop for some cheesecake & matcha latte.

cheesecake was good, a bit too sweet for my liking but it was not bad. matcha latte was ok, tasted like watered-down & not made of quality matcha.

felt like i was unwelcomed & looked down upon by server though, may or may not because i didn't know french & didn't know the name of the cheesecake i wanted to order. she tried to help which i was grateful for, but the whole interaction from the moment i stepped into the store was a bit unwelcoming.

the seats & area looked dirty, table was not cleaned & had crumps everywhere. if you're a tourist i wouldn't recommend you to come here, try other cafe shops around the area first. unless you need a space to study/work, otherwise don't waste your time here

The barista with the big biceps is hot. He should be shirtless.

Went to try this cafe yesterday & was extremely disappointed with the food & service. I ordered a 7$ biscoff milkshake that ended up just being melted & just tasted like sweet milk. It wasn't frozen or thick like a milkshake should normally be. I was very disappointed & returned to the store right away to tell what seemed to be the owner running the store. He was very rude about remaking it but did & made a bunch of excuses for the low quality sweet milk… it was so disgusting & unsatisfying but the owner refused to give me my money back! I don't recommend this place, the owner is very rude & only cares about his costs & not customer satisfaction. If I could give zero stars i would!

The cheesecake was really good - rich, creamy, & well-balanced in sweetness. The white hot chocolate was smooth & comforting, overly sweet & served warm. The chocolate muffin was just okay - decent but nothing special compared to the other items. Overall, a nice experience, with the cheesecake being the highlight.

Déjà, le service de la caissière était... d'une sympathie relative... mais après, quand j'arrive devant le barista, il me voit chercher une étiquette sur les pots de chocolat & de cannelle, très sympathique (pour vrai!) Il me dit lequel est lequel, mais en anglais (le lieu est présenté comme un'café FRANÇAIS'... ) ça me fait UN PEU chier à postériori mais vraiment, je ne le réalise pas immédiatement (Cinemon & chocolat... ça va... y'a pas mort d'homme) & sans arrière-pensée je lui dis, instinctivement'merci'... il me regarde avec des yeux de merlan frit, (j'en déduit) parce que je ne lui répond pas en anglais. Ils ont lu la loi 101 à l'envers, je pense.... ce serait plutôt à moi de faire des yeux de merlan... & comme je le dis, en vrai, c'est pas très grave c'est le barista, pas le caissier, mais ne me regarde pas comme ça si je lâche un merci en français. On est pas dans Westmount!!! surtout qu'il le sais très bien que je parle français, il était à côté durant la commande & j'était seul au comptoir! il m'as entendu, donc c'est pas qu'il à été surpris!
Surtout que même à NY,'merci'... tu sais comprendre!

En tout cas, ce café porte TRÈS bien son nom...

nice overall, but they really need to change the sofa , it's dirty & looks worn out. Also, the plugs around the sofa don't work, which affected my experience because I went there to study. On the bright side, the dessert I tried was really good

Touriste venant de la Suisse j'ai été très bien servis, le personnel est souriant & très sympathique, la nourriture est un régal & sans parler du latte de l'ours qui est juste exceptionnel. N'hésitez pas foncé je le recommande vivement !

Magnifique endroit avec une énergie incroyable. Les jeunes sont motivés, souriant & serviables. Rien à dire pour le service. Pour les sandwichs, MIAM! Un vrai délice. toujours frais.

Starbucks me décevait depuis quelques années, merci à colombus d'être mon nouveau café préféré.
