Local MTL. First time coming to this place. Wanted to try the breakfast sandwich. Made with a different bread than English muffin. Not sure what it's called but it's good.

Ordered with $5 veal bacon by mistake. I apologized. They were so kind & made it on the house. It was worth it! Will definitely come back & get the veal bacon. Thanks guys!

We usually just get amazing bread from this bakery, but decided to try the gravlax & brisket sandwiches today for lunch & we are really happy we did. They were delicious & we will definitely be back many times to try the rest of the menu. Great staff as well. Highly recommended.

Update:
Went back recently since I had a medical appointment across the street & it was convenient enough I figured I'd try them again.

The sourdough still lacked ferment time & they gave me a burnt loaf to boot (a third of the loaf had actual char, not just browning, not just Maillard réaction. They put the burnt end in the bag so I didn't see it until I got home. I'm done.

Review from 2024: Bread going downhill. A year or two the sourdough was stellar. Now it's not fermented enough. & for the price it should be done correctly.

Best egg salad sandwich of my life-perfect egg salad, crispy small greens on top & served on great bread. Matzoh ball soup is superb- great flavor to the soup & a delicious matzoh ball, too. Not super cozy but absolutely worth a visit.

Was a nice surprise a manager came from back counter & set up tables for us & the kids we enjoyed a nice lunch the Motaz Ball Soup was the best I have ever had 👌Sandwiches were tasty & the fresh bread cool spot 🫶🏻

Over the past five years, I gave this place so many chances, & the only thing that I found redeemable is the Babka. The bread is OK, but there is better bread around. OK the challah is fine. The only time I tried the pannetonne, it was overproofed. Staff is too cool to actually want to even look at you. Please do not put sugary streusel on your spinach pastry or tomato tart. It is gross in every culinary culture I can think of.

I believe I got the ricotta & zaatar pastry which was DIVINE. I've gotten bread here too & it's always been great. The coffee, however, isn't the greatest but definitely come here for the food!

I genuinely cannot say this about any other place I've ever or currently frequent: everything is good. Pick anything off the menu, try any pastry or bread, it's all good.

Best oatmeal cookies in Montreal! This hidden little bakery on the Plateau makes exquisite pastries with a friendly smile, & I'm happy to see that it's become very popular recently for coffee or lunch, which is well deserved. Try their white "milk" bread!
