I thought I would love this place, but I ended up not really liking it. The coffee was insanely strong- almost undrinkable, & I thought the pastries were too sweet. Maybe it was just us though, because people do rave about this place & it did go viral, but I didn't really like it & probably won't go back.
For reference: We got the tiramisu circular croissant, the red velvet croissant, & an iced coffee

Pastries are a bit expensive, but the chocolate chip cookie is phenomenal 🍪 Really beautiful patio to enjoy in warm weather.

I was looking for a cafe with delicious croissants & I found it here! I had pistachio croissant with cafe au lait. The croissant was so rich & very tasty. It was so good I'm planning to come here everyday for the rest of my visit. The staff was also very nice.

One of the best pain au chocolat & overall pastries in Montreal… they taste amazing. If they would be fresh, I would give them 5 stars on food though. But still delicious. They're on the more expensive side, but they're worth it. They're located in a very nice historical area of downtown of Montreal.

Their staff is usually nice, haven't had yet a bad experience. I'm sure I'll keep coming here, every time I have cravings.

If I could rate value for your money, I would give it a 2/5 stars. The food was good but too expensive for what you're getting.

Went to get breakfast here on a Sunday. It was so busy & you can tell the place was popular. Everyone was served quickly so you weren't waiting in line for more than a minute or two.

I ordered a'hangover cure' with a maple latte for myself & a jambon beurre sandwich for my husband. The hangover cure is a croissant sandwich with cheese, chives, bacon & a runny egg. Each sandwich was $12.50. The latte was $6 or $6.50. Somehow with 15% tax I paid $36.22. The price surprised me because at first, I didn't realize how expensive my sandwich was & I didn't realize there was an egg in the sandwich. However, I still believe the price of the food was inflated overall.

The jambon beurre was made with fresh bread but it was stiff & cold. Nothing was warmed up or toasted. The ham & cheese was cut thick but also cold. Maybe it's supposed to be like that & it's just our fault for expecting something different.

In comparison, the hangover cure was warmed up & toasted. The bacon was the perfect amount of crispy & chewy. The cheese was delicious, I've never had anything like it. I had to eat it with a fork & knife however because everything was oozing out. Not a critique, just a beware if you order & think you're going to be able to walk with it.

The maple latte was really good but small. About the size of a small coffee from McDonalds in Canada. So $6-6.50 for that is a lot.

There was a variety of other pastries there as well that many patrons were purchasing.

Amazing bakery with plenty of outdoor seating with shade at street level. Coffees & cold drinks available. Chocolate croissant eclair with salt was incredible, was kind of a Nutella like filling. If you come towards the end of the day around closing (I came at 7:40pm) they may give you an extra treat! Very nice staff.

Coffee was so bitter, bagel was too doughy & ham & cheese croissant would've been better warm. Very average, will not be coming back
