A fun, quirky cafe with some great staff who work hard to keep it going!

This was our first visit to this cafe & it was quite a pleasant surprise! The food & coffee to kick off the day was exactly what we needed. The breakfast potatoes were unreal & the breads I understand are baked daily (the sourdough was perfect).

We would definitely come back in future!

Went to this place because the name was fun! Order the big breakfast & a latte, it hit the spot! The toast was perfect & so was everything else. Very cute & enjoyable atmosphere.

Visited Montreal last week & went here on a whim… SOO glad we did! Their big breakfast was simple yet incredibly delicious! My partner had the pancakes & I forgot to take a picture, but he really liked them as well. The staff were very friendly & the vibe was cool & cozy. Looking forward to coming here again on our next visit 😊

We got sunday brunch here & it was excellent. It was packed when we got in, but got seated fast, & the food wait time was reasonable for the amount of people seated. I was in awe of the staff- 1 server covered the entire restaurant, & they were smiling & pleasent the whole time. 1 barista was kicking out amazing espresso drinks non stop. We all enjoyed really our food.

This is a fantastic place for a brunch. We tried different brunch specialities & all were delicious. The home made sourdough bread is very tasty & they have a broad variety of vegetarian & vegan dishes.
The atmosphere was nice & relaxed. There were families with children as well as young people & a few older ones. & everyone seemed to enjoy. The service is also really friendly & offered us different kinds of milk for the coffee.

In all of my years of coming to Montreal - never have I ever found a gem such as this. Superb food, cozy queer-safe atmosphere, friendly smiling (beautiful!!) faces.. it has it all! We discovered it yesterday, & here we are again today. Let that speak for itself ❤??🔥

Loved the vibe & atmosphere here, the food was absolutely amazing! The folks who work here clearly have a passion for what they do & it shows. The pancakes are a must! Also their sourdough bread was phenomenal!! Definitely check this place out for a delicious brunch & good vibes!

The tomato toast is great! Avocado toast is decent, but feels a little dry & plain next to the show-stealing tomato toast

Very average food. Nice people serving, though service is slow & it wasn't very busy when we came.

Breakfast burrito could use an overhaul - too much mush.

Granola with yogurt was a little uninspired.

Table non lavée en arrivant, pas d'ustensiles, on doit aller commander le repas au comptoir & aller le chercher par la suite. La première impression fut décevante.

Cependant, une fois avec nos assiettes devant nous, nous avons adoré nos repas (Salade-repas César & burrito déjeuner), qui sont à des prix vraiment bons pour la quantité de l'assiette & qui remplissent en masse le ventre.

Le restaurant était cependant plein quand nous sommes arrivés, & donc je met 4 étoiles car je peux comprendre que les employés étaient dans le rush. Nous reviendrons une journée moins achalandée pour réévaluer & peut-être mettre le 5 étoiles global, car la nourriture était définitivement 5 étoiles
