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 😊

Randomly found this spot on St Denis & so glad we did! Delicious food & a total vibe inside! Staff is super cool & deco is like no other. A unique breath of fresh air!
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!
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

What a lovely spot! We arrived late afternoon, close to closing but they couldn't have been more generous in accommodating us. Fabulous food, loved the salmon platter.
Such a great cafe with some of the best pancakes & brunch items I've had. Staff is very friendly & has awesome acoustic musicians playing there especially during POUZZAfest. If you're down here in May for Pouzza it's a must to go for hangover food, or tired from no-moshing at Turbo Haus food if you're not a drinker.
