Review Summary

La graine brûlée comes across as a quirky, charming cafe with bold, eclectic decor and a vibe that makes it a go to spot for working or catching up with friends, and it is noted for staying open late which is appreciated. The coffee is repeatedly praised as well prepared and tasty, with a wide range of drinks and snacks and a terrace that is popular for lingering. The space offers many seating options and coworking areas, plus unique touches like private nooks and walls you can write on, creating a creative, study friendly atmosphere, and there is even local merchandise to browse. The staff are generally friendly and helpful, and there is a noted commitment to reducing waste and sustainable choices. It is often described as a must visit in the village and one of the best places in town for studying, socializing, and enjoying a casual meal or drink. Some criticisms appear: a grilled cheese that misses the mark, occasional slow service or crowded hours, higher prices, and occasional uncomfortable seating or sensory issues in bathrooms. Some patrons mention extra charges for takeout cups or portions and size expectations for drinks, but overall the experience remains positive and the place is seen as a standout, vibrant and inviting hub for work, drinks, and socializing.

Ambiance très sympa. Service & amabilité à revoir. Les pâtisseries sont sèches & chères. Les collations pour le prix sont très petites

Malheureusement aucun café filtre n'est offert. À la place Americano offert pour le double du prix.

Très beau décor & un excellent endroit pour travailler. Beaucoup de prises électriques & de multiprises branchées à ceux-ci. Par contre, les prix sont un peu chers, & le service n'est pas très rapide. Ceci dit, les employés sont très courtois & gentils, donc on passe par-dessus facilement. Menoum menoum. De plus, les lundis les cafés sont à 50% de rabais pour les étudiants, là ça veut vraiment la peine. Mention spéciale pour leur choix de musique, je l'ai beaucoup apprécié.

J'y vais souvent & je comprends que les prix soient ce qu'ils soient en général mais une (demi) tasse de thé à + 4$ c'est quand même un peu abusé ^^'
