This coffee shop is a hidden gem, thanks to our former computer instructor's restaurant recommendation! The chocolate cake is to die for! Can't wait to come back for their white hot chocolate & more chocolate cake! Most importantly, the staff are super friendly & helpful to customers like my boyfriend & I, with a visual impairment.
Bad cold coffee & super dirty milk & cream flask!!! Like the flask tips & top are literally broken & look very nasty! & they charge 3$ for a small filter coffee! Horrendous! Last time for us here, much better stick to Timmies

I paid my latte with tips included, the girl who made the coffee gave me a dirty cup with green things on top. I myself teach tea ceremony & know it may be matcha. BUT what I ordered was a cup of latte, not matcha tea; that is, the girl made my coffee in an used/ dirty cup which is universally unacceptable. However, when I pointed this out, her coworker, a young guy, kindly remade my coffee with excellent attitude. The time was around 6:45 PM, April 21, 2026.
I like the aesthetic of this place, & the branding/logo. It also has really good coffee & sweets. We visited a few times during our 5 day stay in the city.
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
I stopped here for a coffee craving & discovered this nice little shop. The believe that there are a few in the area if I'm not mistaken. The coffee & atmosphere was excellent as was the service. ☺?😎👍

From the time that I got to Montreal, this was my go to cafe, since they have really nice espresso & the best chocolatine! Not to mention the nicest beautiful servers.. I didn't even look at Starbucks & other cafes, this is where you get real coffee! & oh.. really delicious carrot cake, would absolutely recommend!
It's modern but showing wear on the tables. No custom or simple bagels everything is a premade sandwich. Their cortado's was horrible, bubble foam... But the drip (filter) coffee was fine. Not very busy at 9:30 most weekend mornings.

Nice place for the coffee , it's in downtown montreal near to many eateries, you can come here to relax with friends & spend quality time with friends over cup of coffee
This place is perfect for working remotely. They offer a nice selection of pastries & drinks to choose from, making it an ideal spot for both work & relaxation. I spent about three hours here working & found the environment to be very conducive to productivity. Although it did get a tad cold at times, the overall atmosphere was comfortable & inviting. As for the food, we tried the croissant & vegan brownie, both of which were delicious. The mocha & chai tea latte we ordered were equally impressive, with rich & satisfying flavors. The combination of tasty treats, good drinks, & a pleasant work environment makes this coffee shop a great choice for anyone looking to work away from the office. Highly recommended for its convenience, quality offerings, & overall ambiance.
