Janine Café-Brunch earns praise for a warm, stylish vibe, generous portions, and a menu that blends brunch classics with creative twists. Service is frequently described as attentive and friendly, with kid friendly touches and welcome drinks that set a thoughtful tone. Dishes like latkes, champi mushrooms on toast, grilled cheese, eggs Benedict variations, and cinnamon rolls are highlighted for flavor and quality, while the space remains lively and inviting even when busy. Even though weekends bring crowds and longer waits and the space can get noisy, the overall experience is often seen as worth the wait thanks to tasty food, solid coffee options, and a welcoming atmosphere.
We came here for brunch around 12 PM on a Sunday, & the line wasn't long. We were seated very quickly. I ordered the Sucré Salé & the Latkes, & they were amazing.
One of the best experiences I've had in a restaurant was at Janine's. My sister & I went for brunch with my 3 year old son. The service we received was incredible but what stood out the most was the care & attention my toddler received. He was brought a cookie to ice with sprinkles when we arrived & the cutest cloud mug for his milk. Unprompted. Just brought to him. Each time the waiter greeted our table he spoke with him too. When I asked for a plate to share my meal with my son, we were brought a child's plate. Might sound silly to some but this meant the world to me as a mother. Thank you for the excellent food & incredible memories today!

What a magic experience we had this Sunday
The little juice of the day to start , the coffee, the food , the carrot cake & the amazing smiles
Everything was spot on .
Very happy with our first time
I recommend 100%
There's so much to say about this place but I'll keep it short. First the service, its friendly, fast & maintains then ambiance they are curating for themselves (love it). Talking about ambiance I must say that it hit the spot for me, chique modest decor that adds character to the place, old style music that makes you feel peaceful, cheery & warm all at once. The food was quite good (egg benedict with duck), the texture of the ingredient is what you would expect from fresh ingredients, the flavors are well balanced, the drink menu has all the classics one would hope to have for brunch(the mimosas we're spot on & the expresso martini felt quite good). They got the five star not only from what I mentionned but the small details(you are greeted with fresh juice on the house, the staff made sure I was enjoying myself through out & then even let me stay after closure to finish my drink) I will be going back with friends to try out the rest of the menu. It was a great experience, big thank you to the staff !
Very disappointing experience. I brought my service dog & was told my service dog ID was fake without the staff even properly checking it. After I challenged the accusation, their attitude changed completely.
Being treated this way was disrespectful & unacceptable. Better staff training is clearly needed.
Fantastic place! Janique was also super attentive & friendly!
We had :
Chic croissant - I have never had pulled ham & it was sooooo tasty & soft - everything was fresh with exquisite flavors!
Gros jambon - the texture of the ham was smooth & buttery
Ouef & bouef - the sauce was fantastic & caramelized onions were delicious
One of the e best brunch places I have tried. Delicious food & great atmosphere! It usually quite busy & there is a waiting time but it's totally worth it.
Hands down one of the best breakfast I have ever had! Janique was the most amazing server -so bubbly & effervescent! We all listened to her recommendations & she did not disappoint!
We had three different versions of cinnamon rolls & each was excellent! The chicken Breakfast sandwich was absolutely to die for, But the chocolate waffle…. I think was actually made by Jesus's hands himself! Soooooo good. The avocado toast was so fresh & delicious!
The flight of fresh juices, the Matcha, the coffee's, the white hot chocolate …. Everything was sheer perfection! Put it on your must visit list!
Had a really nice experience at Janine Cafe. I ordered the grilled cheese & a matcha latte, both were delicious & satisfying. The atmosphere is cozy & comfortable, making it a great spot to relax. The staff were responsive, kind, & made the experience even better. Would definitely come back!
Nous étions 7 personnes dont un enfant de 3 ans. Nous avons été très bien accueillis avec un set de table à colorier, des pastels, un biscuit à glacer & à décorer pour l'enfant. Le service était rapide & attentionné. Les plats étaient savoureux, copieux & à la hauteur de nos attentes. Juste 4 étoiles pour l'ambiance car l'espace est vite bruyant quand la salle se remplit. Nous avons passé un très bon moment en famille.
Super belle place! Le service est super & attentionné. La nourriture pourrait être mieux assaisonnée par contre. J'ai l'impression que les plats sont fade. Une chance qu'il y a du sel & poivre sur la table. Malgré tout, des plats bien travaillés pour un brunch. Il y a pas mal de monde donc préparez-vous à attendre mais c'est assez rapide.
Huge portions, but unfortunately we didn't love the food. There was a long wait, & while we really wanted to love this place, it fell a bit short of our expectations. We ordered the braised beef Benny & the ham croissant. The croissant itself was very good. The hostess was lovely, but our server seemed irritated. Overall, in our opinion, it didn't live up to the hype.
Went with my friend to celebrate her bday. Such a lovely little place with a picture-worthy vibe & decor. & the service is attentive & personable.
Note: they don't take reservations, & the wait time varies depending on the day/ time.
