I came here specifically to try their vegan mac & cheese after reading the reviews. It did not disappoint! It was delicious. I would like to see more vegan options on the menu in the future.

Nice & cute neighbor café, the service is pretty much self serve, order at the counter & go get it when is ready which is fine. The breakfast sandwich was really good. The coffee was a little disappointing, the Latte didn't have micro foam & even though it was just made it wasn't hot. The place is nice with plants & is a nice escape away from the cold outside

Can't say enough about how much I love this place. The coffee is the best in montreal- very smooth & creamy. Must get their pumpkin spice latte if visiting in the fall, still thinking about those complex & comforting flavours. Don't forget to get their loyalty card, you get a free coffee after only 5.. which is SO generous considering every other cafe requires 10. The fried chicken in chicken & waffles was perfectly cooked, crispy, juicy & tender. The waffles were cornmeal, making this dish unique & especially satisfying. The spicy honey was great- not too sweet. Having fruit on the side was a nice touch to cleanse the palette at the end. Great vegan / vegetarian options too. The vegan Mac & cheese was served in the cutest bowl & was honestly better than regular Mac & cheese. Pickled onions & crispy bread crumbs complemented the richness of the Mac & cheese. We also got the latke with house made hot sauce, the perfect side dish to anything on the menu. Their bread & pastries are all made in house, & you can tell they pay special attention to the details of their food. If it's your first time, recommend their breakfast sandwich too, it's my go-to grab & go. But having the brunch & bottomless mimosas was a nice treat. Super friendly & kind staff too. Wish I took a pic, but ate everything too fast! All in all, you must try this place!! Best new restaurant of 2023 hands down.

My girlfriend & I loved this place. We stopped here twice during our stay in Montreal. Great people, great food, & good music. If you're staying in the Latin Quarter, you should definitely have breakfast here.

Très bonne découverte. Nous avons pris du granola & des pancakes qui étaient vraiment délicieux. Il y avait des pommes à la cannelle par dessus & une de nous était allergique à la canelle. La cuisinière à eu la gentillesse de nous les refaire sans cannelle. Personnel vraiment agréable. Endroit joliment décoré. Assiette copieuse. Vraiment parfait. Je recommande ce lieu pour un brunch idéal.

This café has a quirky, alternate-hipster atmosphere to it. The dark green theme on the furniture is peculiar but comfortable at the same time. Not too much seating available, but enough. Service was ok. Their menu is different from most cafes, with a few items you’d more likely find at a diner. The breakfast sandwich is everything people are saying it is – doesn’t even bother me that much that it’s priced like a lunch sandwich with how delicious it is. Everything here has a very homecooked feel to it, as well as the way it’s served. This café is kept generally clean by it’s staff. Wish they were open a bit later.
