La Buvette du Dep offers a cozy, stylish space with industrial loft vibes and lots of plants, inviting guests to relax, study, or meet friends. The coffee, pastries and brunch options are frequently praised for quality and flavor, with lattes, mochas and fresh baked treats winning regular compliments. The staff are described as friendly and attentive, and the variety of seating upstairs and downstairs makes it easy to choose a quiet spot or a livelier vibe. While a few reviews note higher prices and occasional service bottlenecks on busy days, the overall atmosphere and design keep visitors returning for the distinctive energy. This spot stands out as a great place to enjoy a drink, a bite, or a long study session.
I saw an instagram post & decided to go there & try their brunch menu.
We should not fool people with fake photos.
We got there around 11:30. It was not crowded. So I ordered two eggs with smoked meat & goat cheese & my boyfriend ordered tortilla. & we wanted to take our order to the 3rd floor to study. We paid $7 per person to use the space upstairs.
My boyfriend was waiting for one hour in front of the counter. Finally I came & saw the tray with a small dish & a small cup of smoked salmon. I told them that is not what I ordered. So we waited another half an hour while my latte got cold upstairs. I was surprised by so many staff working there. It was not crowded & the waiting time was ling & the orders were mixed up. & finally we ended up with these two you see in photos that we paid $57. I felt I was robbed. The size of this dish is literally 12cm in diameter. In total, we paid $98.58 for two dishes from breakfast menu, 2 latte & two ginger/lemon drinks. I do not recommend. Sadly its a beautiful place with nice decorations & plants but the quality of food & the portions compared to the prices makes no sense.
Not a cafe to come to for work anymore. Mandatory $7 fee to get in, plus drink order required. Sitting down to get an hour or two of work will cost you $15.
Atmosphere is 10/10
Service is amaziiinng, one of the guy's at the register is so sweet & will give you recommendations!
Super cozy café, nice drinks & yummy pastries.
Would definitely recommend

Pastry/bakery is great & service is nice too, but the food is far from good. Wraps are mostly filled with lettuce & the ravioli serves 4 ravioli, none more.
A genuinely beautiful café that can charm any kind of visitor. My friend & I discovered it by chance while walking by. We had coffee, cheese croissants, & chocolate - everything was absolutely amazing.

Belle place ouverte, bien décorée, il y a des prises électriques partout, beaucoup d'options végé & vegan & sans gluten avec des marques locales.
Bien entretenu & propre, la nourriture est bonne & le service est excellent 🌞
Le chaï latté au lait d'avoine est délicieux!
I love coming here for drinks/ to work upstairs. Usually the service is decent, but today's service was not it. My husband ordered an affogato & it was served in a broken glass. When I pointed it out, the staff seemed too chill about it, & said that even though the glass is partially broken, it won't break in our hands. I'm sorry but for a place that serves beverages, having broken glass should be considered hazard. We expected her to change the glass right away but she offered to change if « we wanted ». Her initial response to such hazard was disappointing. I hope they threw the glass away.

Nous avons apprécié nos glacé vanille au lait d'avoine (avis aux adeptes de vanille, ça goûte quand même plus le lait d'avoine que la vanille)
Bonnes variétés de viennoiseries & biscuits/patisseries
Les prix sont acceptables, souvent autour de 5$
Service courtois & rapide
J'ai adoré cet endroit.
Il m'a transportée dans la jeunesse de ma grand-mère, comme si le temps s'était arrêté.
Nous étions assis en famille autour d'une petite table, dans une ambiance douce, calme & chaleureuse.
Le restaurant était très ancien - les lustres, la télévision, chaque détail portait les traces du passé.
Avec un croissant croustillant & un bon café, nous avons passé une journée merveilleuse.
J'ai ressenti une paix rare, un vrai moment de bonheur simple.
J'ai hâte d'y retourner...

Very cute Cafe, you can get some souvenirs from here if you visiting Montreal, I loved there chocolate peanut butter that I got from them.
Loved their Cortado
I don't think it's just because I was in food service for 15 years that I expect better than this. But here we go:
*Service is incredibly slow: It took nearly 20 mins to get my coffee drink. I understand someone was being trained, but it was for the person doing the training to say to the customers'they're in training, this could take a longer than usual' not just ignore that we're standing there. Also, when tickets line up, it's for that staff member to take over & get the customers their orders quickly & train when it's slower. This was probably the exception not the rule to service.
* Staff would disappear: There was one staff member for 2 floors (1st & 3RD) so they were constantly having to leave one floor or the other to take care of customers. The server seemed more than capable of handling the amount of customers on two floors, but not being there when a customer needed them. (Note to owners: this caused people to choose not to order at all & some to leave. That's money for you *&* your staff flying away.)
* Rude enforcement of rules: my friend opened her computer to show me something & we were told that if we wanted to work, that's what the 3rd floor was for. We explained that she was just showing me something, we weren't working & he repeated himself & stood there until the computer was put away. There were no visible signs that computers cannot be used in *any* way on the 1st floor. I *did* notice one, the size of a coaster, on another table on the way out.
* This same employee slapped down a reserved for X time (i.e. in 15 minutes) on the table. Having someone say,'Excuse me, we have a large party coming in & we're going to need these tables. Can I help you move to another?' isn't too much to ask for. They removed the signs 5 mins later & set up the table elsewhere. The place was not busy, that space could have (& should have) been confirmed *before* disturbing us.
It seemed like this staff member was coming in for their shift. They clearly had no idea how much money we'd spent before they got there & just saw us with water glasses on the table & made a judgement/decision to treat us accordingly.
ALL of that said: The staff member who was there on my arrival was delightful (5⭐). He was personable, informed & managed the floor well.
The place is very pretty. The third floor is really beautiful & peaceful & I would have loved to come back to work from there.
The food, though prêt à manger, was good.
So there you go. Basically an open letter to the owners.
