Didn't expect the matcha latte to be *that* good. The whole place feels so cozy too ✨

Coffee was excellent. The female barista was very nice. Really good ambiance. Heard excellent reviews of this place & it did not disappoint. Highly recommended in the menu are flat white, cortado & matcha latte.

Vraiment une bonne expérience au café
Le lieu est petit mais chaleureux & le staff est super accueillant
Leurs machines sont vraiment impressionnante pour les amateurs de bon café

Ps : le latté avec du sirop de bergamote doit être ajouté à votre carte ;)
Le café & l'aspect de la bergamote était un combo magnifique que je reprendrait

Un de mes cafés préférés à Montréal. Leurs cafés figurent clairement dans mon top 3, & le personnel est toujours incroyablement gentil :).
Ça peut sembler tout simple, mais lors de ma dernière visite, j'étais avec mon petit en porte-bébé & je peinais un peu avec mes cafés. La barista est immédiatement venue m'aider à « gérer » tout ça. C'est la première fois qu'on m'offre un soutien aussi attentionné, & c'était tellement apprécié ! J'adore aussi le mur comprenant des livres qu'on peut acheter : une excellente idée.

I did not know this was a serious coffee shop for real coffee drinkers. It was cold, I wanted something warm, & this cafe was across the street. I have learned words I did not know existed

But, I am pleasantly surprised!
Very cool place. I'm a little too socially anxious for a wrap around bar in a cafe, but I have never seen the concept before, & I thought it was pretty interesting

Chai latte was nice & spicy how I like it, without being overpowering. I got mine with some simple syrup (I'm a fake coffee drinker sorry y'all) & it was tasty. One of the best I've had if I'm being honest (they're pretty much all I order… I've had many). So I decided to try their matcha & it was actually good??! I say this with shock bc I usually find that matcha tastes like grass… this one was yummy though. I'm beginning to understand the matcha hype.

Staff are kind people too. It seems like they actually like their job, which says something about management. Customer service is stressful! They clearly knew a lot about coffee. I heard them using several very important serious sounding words. The coffee people nodded sagely. Be sure to arrive early if you want a pastry!

Ordered 2 ice matcha lattes for almost 15$. We could barely taste the matcha, the drinks were bland & tasteless (which we were expecting when we saw how pale the lattes where, not vibrant green). Disappointing & overpriced.

Amazing coffee. We'll curated, definitely underrated. The shop owners & workers here are sincerely nice & they all compete in coffee in some way. I visited here twice on my visit to Montreal but wish I had come earlier to be able to visit every day.

I had some of the best coffee of my life here as a pour over & as a oat latte. It was full of fruit (strawberry) flavor that I rarely find in coffee shops (& I've had specialty coffee beans from all around the world). Of course the flavor depends on what they sourced at the time I visited, but no doubt they know how to brew a fine cup of coffee. Worth a visit or more.

Super nice café. It has a huge bar with seats & also a sofa area - very cool. The latte was flavourful & strong.
