This coffee shop is really good - great quality coffee & super friendly staff. Drinks come out fast too.
Only thing is there's almost no space inside, so it's more of a grab-&-go spot than a place to sit & relax. Still worth it for the coffee. ☕

Fantastic & very wide assortment of tasty vegan options, both drinks & pastries, which is also great if you're dairy-free.

I was really excited to try this place & planned to sit & do a bit of work on my laptop. Unfortunately, the'no laptops' signs are very small & easy to miss, & I didn't notice them until right after I paid. What felt frustrating was seeing the person behind the counter on his laptop the entire time, which came across as a bit hypocritical. I know there's another location where laptops are allowed, but that wasn't near my hotel. Very average matcha latte. Sadly wont be back

Since we moved to Montreal, we haven't skipped one weekend. Every Saturday or Sunday, despite of the snow ⛄?, we are always here. We love the atmosphere 🍀⭐?✅👌🤞

From the outside, you're greeted by what looks like a charming old port café-slightly removed from the main tourist strip, but the kind of place curious passersby might stumble upon & feel intrigued by.
Unfortunately, as several other reviewers have already noted, it may be better appreciated strictly from the outside.
The moment you walk in, you're confronted with a large closet overflowing with old plush toys. While some may find this'cute,' it feels completely out of place-much like the rest of the interior décor. On top of that, every table is plastered with NO LAPTOPS & TABLETS ALLOWED EVERYDAY signs, while your senses are simultaneously overwhelmed by an excessive assortment of random trinkets & decorations. Highlights include a stray school lunch table & chairs placed directly in the middle of the café, which felt more confusing than charming.
But let's say we look past all of that. What exactly does a café have to do with a confectionery hot sauce collection? It's one of the first things your eyes land on amid the chaos of mismatched items in what feels like a makeshift department store. From there, you're led to absurdly overpriced chocolate bars (eleven dollars for waxy chocolate), followed by ketchup-fruit spreads mixed with honey? There's more, but honestly-who is actually going to keep browsing at that point?
One final note on the interior: please pick a single lighting style or lamp shade theme-or simply tone the lighting down altogether. The visual clutter is amplified by the inconsistent lighting choices. Additionally, the abundance of charging ports along the wall seating feels contradictory given the strict no-laptop/no-tablet policy prominently displayed throughout the space.
Setting aside the uncomfortable atmosphere, the coffee & bakery items themselves weren't bad. However, if you're going to position yourself as a niche café with a strict no-laptop & no-tablet policy, that should be clearly advertised upfront-not something customers discover only after sitting down.
I hope this review is taken as constructive criticism. If the goal is to encourage conversation & discourage screen use, lean into that identity openly. Branding yourselves as a conversation-focused café might actually help attract the right audience rather than frustrate unsuspecting customers.
Lastly, please train your servers to clear tables promptly. The photo below shows cups & crumbs left behind by previous customers, & this was not an isolated incident. Multiple tables remained uncleaned during my entire 45-minute visit, which only added to the overall sense of neglect.

I was almost insulted by the impolite waitress because I was on the wrong side of the waiting line. The hot chocolate was good though.

Un vrai petit cocon pour passer un moment agréable plein de douceur. Une déco particulière, atypique & chaleureuse. Mi-boutique, mi-salon de thé, on s'est laissé surprendre par l'endroit & avons dégusté un bon petit déjeuner.
