Makaya Chocolat & Bistro

I struggle to understand charging an espresso $7. My wife liked her chocolate cake. Glass of wine was pricey as well but I can tolerate that more than the price of the coffee.

February 27/25 = We were a group of 18 people who reserved for 12:30 pm & were very much looking forward to trying this new establishment. Creperies are somewhat difficult to come by in the suburbs. Regretfully, the chef was 45 minutes late & they seemed short staffed as making crepes to order on one grill for 18 people was quite time consuming. My mother's crepe had cheese that wasn't completely melted & the crepes could have done with a little more browning. The menu was limited as not everything that appeared on the menu was available. The dessert crepes were delicious though! Coffee was good, although the Blue Mountain Haitian has a somewhat lighter taste. The chocolatier, Mr. Ralph Leroy, did give an somewhat rushed explanation of his products. Would have liked to try his chocolate truffles but none were available; not even to purchase.
The atmosphere was nice & the background music just loud enough to enjoy our lively discussions. Regretfully, the washrooms could be cleaner with enough tissue paper for both stalls. Regretfully, feel that Makaya Chocolat & Bistro were not prepared for a group of 18 even though we had reservations. It's too bad as was planning on having my wedding anniversary there next month but the experience was lacking.

Stopped in to pick up an order for my very pregnant sister & honestly I'd go out of my way to come back here. It looked cozy & romantic, smelled delicious & everyone was SO genuinely friendly. My sister loved her food & if it wasn't so late in the evening, I would have had a coffee with the chocolate crepe because it all smelled & looked so amazing. They even went out of their way to hold the door for me on the way out. Just super lovely people making super delicious food in a super beautiful little spot!

Its a cute spot to have some chocolate desserts & its just opposite to water so you can have a great view. But I did not like the cappuccino & it was 9 dollars excluded taxes. Also I ordered take away but they dont have proper disposable glasses. They should have mentioned that before taking the order. Not worth it to spend this much for that kind of coffee.

Makaya is an incredible Haitian bistro with delicious chocolate, desserts, food, & drinks. The atmosphere is warm & cozy, with a beautiful view over the old part of Canal Lachine. We ordered hot chocolate, frappés, savoury chicken & cheese crêpes, & bought some desserts to-go - everything was amazing! While we were there during the evening, & happened to catch a beautiful view of the sunset over the water, it also makes for a great spot for a coffee break &/or brunch.
