We had breakfast & I tried the Omelet with a coffee & fruits. I loved the seasonal fruits & liked the taste of coffee. I would like to thank Mark who served our table. He was great!

There is a blonde woman who distributes the orders, thank you very much, I had filter coffee twice for changing my cold coffee & in general, it is a very clean & relevant place, so thank you very much
Service was quick & staff were very friendly & nice. The food was pricy & disgusting though. & they don't even include coffee with their plates anymore. I left hugely disappointed & frustrated that I wasted money on such a terrible meal.
Wow, the food & beverages are amazing! We had breakfast three days in a row starting on Boxing Day, & the specials menu for Xmas was superb. The coffee is hot & fresh & whether it was a Cafe Ole or a cappuccino it was spot on!
We love this place! Best breakfast in the city with so many choices. Food is fresh, hot, & service is impeccable. Recommend the Classic & Crab Benedict's, French toast flambé, Eggstravganza, & their salads. Can't go wrong with any of it. Large portions, fresh coffee with constant refills, great mimosas, & spicy Bloody Mary's-they have it. Large parties handled with ease & food coming out of the kitchen is fast. From the hostess at the front door to the wait staff, very impressed. Nikita, our waiter is the best!

I just want to write this review to thank our wonderful waiter , Mark, today. He went above & beyond to make us happy. Kept refilling our coffee mugs, checked on us frequently, & the service was fast. Thanks so much Mark!
Nikitas provided the best service experience of our entire Montreal visit. After one visit, he memorized our entire order, including allergy concerns & add-ons! The second day we came for breakfast, we didn't have to say a word, he remembered it all. He was also on top of coffee refills & making sure we were happy with our food. All the food was delicious. I had the Eggspectation Omelette & it was amazing. I highly recommend that you visit, & ask for Nikitas!
This place is excellent & in a very convenient location. I went twice. Sat at the bar & was served by Porag. Thank you to him for an amazing experience that made me go back a second time with friends. Great atmosphere & the food was amazing. Great coffee & fresh juices also. Thank you guys!!!

Love this place! Food was amazing & the service was great. The staff are very attentive to refill our coffee & water. Kudos! They don't take reservations on weekends so, it would be better to come early if you don't want to wait that long.
Fantastic breakfast option. Everything was very fresh & the coffee was good. The staff was friendly & helpful. The wait seemed like it was going to be long but they got us in quickly.
I had a lovely experience on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Sat at the espresso bar, got the Montreal Benedict with salad, extra bacon, coffee, & an Aperol spritz (with oj added).
Very personable staff & very good food. Prices were reasonable for the area.
