Les visiteurs décrivent La Base Café Buvette comme un endroit cosy et accueillant avec une ambiance superbe, un excellent café et des pâtisseries délicieuses, et une carte qui va des croques au fromage grillés créatifs aux options brunch; le personnel est constamment salué pour sa convivialité, son attention et son service professionnel, et l'atmosphère est chaleureuse avec une terrasse arrière propice à la détente; l'expérience est largement considérée comme un coup de coeur de quartier et beaucoup envisagent d'y revenir bientôt; quelques notes mentionnent des plats un peu salés ou trop cuits, des soucis occasionnels de timing ou de service, et parfois des tailles de boisson ou des prix qui ne semblent pas tout à fait alignés.
We were a group of 4 that arrived on Sunday early morning before the brunch rush. There were two other tables (group of 3 & 2) occupied at the time we arrived. The place is very small & their kitchen is part of the dining room so you can see all the action. They had two (?) portable induction hot plates & a tiny microwave & the smallest deep fryer.
The server was very nice & friendly but nonetheless it was hard to get his attention & overall service was very very slow. We arrived at 915am, got our coffees at 9:39am & we placed our food then. Food arrive between 10:18am - 10:21am. As mentioned, their kitchen is very small & there was only one cook. I don't know if they were understaffed or if this is the norm but 40mins to receive brunch food when we planned to beat Sunday brunch rush isn't exactly what we were expecting.
The long wait didn't help the fact tha we were seated in the back corner with a bench (for two), a bucket style chair & a backless metal stool which was very uncomfortable & much taller than the table, which added to the discomfort.
Food & drinks were good, nothing to complain there. I requested over medium eggs (they said they don't poach but rather fry the eggs), but my dish came with fully cooked eggs. I didn't ask them to remake them knowing it will be a while before my dish would be returned to me.
If I were to return, I'd order in advance & opt to so take out instead of dining in.
Service was good, but the food was a miss for me. 😅
First with the positives, I thought my coffee was alright. I liked it fine. 🙂
I got a burger, the patty was a little overcooked & dry. For the price it's a bit disappointing. I think it would've been pretty good otherwise. But it just wasn't up to par.
The mayo was really salty for some reason. 😅 Idk if it's just me, but it tasted at least twice as salty as regular mayo to me. (I used a little to-go MAG branded mayo packet I had laying around in the fridge to dip the fries instead of the one that came with. It's just so salty. 😅)
I find the fries a bit on the saltier side for my liking too, but that's just me. They were actually pretty good otherwise! I like the texture.
Overall not impressed, but maybe I just got unlucky today. Anyways, no shade towards anyone. Thanks for the food. ✌?

Amazing staff! Wonderful atmosphere. Good coffee. You won't regret stopping in, grabbing a cool or warm beverage, pastry made with love, or even better a shakshouka meal or sandwich. Consider me a regular- hoping this local business thrives for many years to come!
Went for a coffee to-go & ended up staying for the grilled cheese. Both the coffee & the grilled cheese were delicious, & we enjoyed them on the terrace at the back on a nice sunny morning. The staff is very friendly & knowledgeable & the service was excellent. Can't wait to come back on a weekend to try their brunch menu!
La Base Café Buvette (5898 Rue de Verdun, Verdun, QC H4H 1M4) is a place where it's pleasant to drop in for a cup of coffee & a nice atmosphere! ☕
I stopped by the other day to get some coffee during my workday. 🏃
The first thing that catches your eye is the good interior, which lends itself to a pleasant time. ✨ It's cozy & comfortable here.
The staff speaks two languages - English & French, which is very convenient. 🗣?
&, of course, they have excellent coffee & interesting, delicious pastries! 😋🥐
I recommend La Base Café Buvette to anyone who wants to enjoy good coffee in a pleasant setting. 👍
As soon as I entered, the smell of freshly baked goods invaded my nose & instantly made me feel at home. The service was fantastic & the food is beautifully served & delicious! Their coffee is top quality too! If ever you're in the mood for a quick bite or need a nice place to study, this place is absolutely worth it!
Delicious custard & jam, the pancakes themselves were not fluffy & jiggly like japanese pancakes but more dry like shortcake or scones. The coffee & matcha is very good, very nice staff :)
Very cute little coffee shop hidden near a residential area of Verdun! Proche du bord de l'eau, excellente place pour arrêter prendre une bouchée pendant une ride de vélo 🚴🏻♀️☕️🥐
This cafe is absolutely lovely. The new York omelette is the best omelette I've had in a restaurant in years & the staff are welcoming, kind & attentive to detail. It's a great place to come on a breakfast date, to have a cocktail or coffee with friends, & is also bright & comfortable for writers & readers alike:) 5 star! Will be back! & it is also family friendly
