This is the spot for quiet chats, slow delicious coffee, & intimate experiences with the baristas. It's the spot I repeatedly recommend to friends & family. Came here after a funeral on my first visit: Jair, the head barista, thoughtfully & patiently prepared me & my partner several coffees. The comfort & ease of his work & presence was so welcoming at that time. I've been coming back since for the past 3 years & have always had gentle, attentioned service from all staff members. If you are looking for a quick in'n'out drink, this is not quite the place for that nor is it the philosophy of the café, but if you are looking for a pause, an escape, & an intimate conversation around coffee, it's worth the wait 100% Remember that those serving us coffee are doing the best that they can do & when we as clients allow the patience for good service & drink, we find ourselves returning again & again until the café becomes our second home.

One of the best cafes in the city. Always serving super high quality beans from international roasters. Coffee is always dialed to perfection. I really love how the layout is like a bar, it encourages you to make conversation with others. I've had really great experiences here chatting with the staff as well as with other customers. Prices are also very fair considering the cost & quality of the coffees they carry.

Interesting spot. The barista was nice, the coffee was over extracted. I always keep my expectations in check, but the coffee was below that, $4 for drip coffee. I guess one pays for the vibe, which in itself is a hit or miss cause you are part of everyone's conversation. Too cool for me, but service was ok.

Good spot to enjoy a coffee & spend some time. The pour over here is incredibly fragrant. Barista carefully explained the different flavors of beans Also love the decor, especially the open central island

Cozy spot in the Mile End neighbourhood of Montréal. The layout has a bit of a bar/lounge vibe. They serve pour over/V60 coffee, which is becoming increasingly rare in Montréal. The staff were friendly & helpful.

Love the vibe of this place, & the barista has great taste in music. Good espressos here too.

LOVE the layout & decor - the place is small but unique.

Only drawback is lack of decaf. (Yeah I am one of those people that asks for decaf 🥴) But barista offered helpful alternatives & suggestions on which coffees has less caffeine as well as herbal teas.

Also the vibe of this place was amazing —barista was a good mix of attentive & laidback to let people have their own space.

Have to just say again, the decor is amazing. From the window / couch in front, to the counter, to the little nook in the back w a screen — My bet is it the owner has background in interior design, or got a smoking cool company to do this space.
