This is THE neighbourhood café. It's charming & quaint. The baristas are always chatty & welcoming, the coffee is great & so are the quiches.

Only downside would be the lack of seating. The place is always packed with people working from their computers for hours, & you can wait for a while to get a good spot.

This place should consider opening a computer-free table that a lot of cafés have recently adopted on Mount Royal ave.

Excellent croissant, great atmosphere in the center of Plateau. I'm still unsure about the macchiato, as I'm not a coffee aficionado, but I enjoyed everything

I had been a few times in the past & found the pastries & coffee exceptional. But the service, every single time, had a team of one exceptionally friendly & one grumpy man with an attitude. So I would go elsewhere. I live very close & yesterday I wanted a croissant I could trust to be excellent... behind the counter was Mr. Exceptional service. Yeah! Hoping next time same. :-)

This is what an independent coffee shop should be friendly owner. Super accommodating! Great decor & a little hidden gem on one of my favorite streets in Montreal. Definitely coming back for more coffee. They even have their own blend.
