I had a veggie sandwich l, wasn't the most flavourful & the bread was very thin & fell apart. Veggies were bland. However the decaf latte made up for it. One of the best lattes I've had outside my home. Latte 5/5 sandwich 3/5 hence why I gave a 4 star rating. The place could use a bit of sprucing up.

The experience at the cafe was a bit of a mixed bag. The staff were friendly & welcoming, which was a positive aspect. However, the food left much to be desired. The carrot cake was disappointing as it seemed frozen & thawed, resulting in a strange texture & taste. The muffin was okay, but the cappuccino was too light & seemed like a cup of milk rather than coffee. On the other hand, the ice matcha latte was decent. The cafe had a cute decor, but the lack of air conditioning & proper ventilation made it uncomfortably hot & humid. The limited space & cramped atmosphere were also notable downsides. Overall, the experience was okay, but it certainly had its drawbacks.
4.3/5? Selon mon expérience, ils méritent plus. Quel décor & quelle terrasse. J'ai quelques nouveaux slogans pour vous. "Le seul bon café à Côte-des-Neiges" ou "Un oasis dans un désert de bon café". Leur scone à l'orange & canneberge étaient frais, chauds & délicieux & ils offrent un très bon espresso. Finalement, le monde là bas a de gros coeurs. Comment est-ce que j'ai raté ce coffee shop pour si longtemps?
Cute cafe but grotesquely expensive for slow service & mediocre food that comes cold when you're seated. For my walk in experience; tried to get two large lattes & two regular grilled cheese with bacon. This place tried to charge me $41! Took my business to Starbucks for a hell of a better sandwich & drinks for half the price.
I went here as my friend suggested! We went for a breakfast & we ordered egg Benedict with salmon & the other one with onion; it was good , but the potato was not fresh; overall, cozy place to sit outside. Inside was a little bot warm. Waiting time is very long. There are shortage of waiters & cashiers there. Besides, here is always crowded, but it seems like a nice place. Be ready to be in line for 20-30 min

Perso, j'ai travaillé à la brûlerie urbaine, pi le caravane c'est tellement meilleur. Le crema est magnifique & j'ai jamais goûté un café aussi délicieux. De plus, le proprio est super sympatique & communique bien avec ses employés. L'ambiance est cozy & chaleureux, même si j'y travaille souvent, j'y retourne pour étudier.
This is an amazing place to grab a sandwich & coffee. We were lucky to find a table because I could see a lot of students & other folks working. The food itself was okay. Won't recommend the Mama Vege sandwich. The coffee was okay, as was the croissant. Would probably come back when the patio is open!
