Eggs Benedict with extra sauce (dish only comes with home fries) & home fries was incredible the flavours were well balanced & delicious
The hollandaise sauce wasn't heavy or think it was PERFECT!

They only do breakfast items on the weekends - lunch menu only available on the weekdays.

Great vibe & service.

It's truly the best place I know. I love the matcha latte, the fruit & yogurt breakfast is the best, & the eggs with herbs & goat cheese are unbeatable ❤? I promise to always come back

We loved this Cafe so much we came back for breakfast again & again during our nine day stay in Montreal. Excellent staff, great music (not too loud) delicious food & really good coffee. Welcoming, airy & chilled atmosphere, just sorry that we never had time later in the day to enjoy their 25 dollar beer & burger offer. Hopefully we will try it on our next visit to Montreal.

I had the Brouillér Herbs & it was amazing. A fantastic blend of herbs, scrambled eggs, & goat cheese. The sourdough bread & breakfast potatoes were fresh & very delicious. Highly recommend.

Excellent little Cafe on boulevard Monk, which is a very cute area. We went for breakfast with a group of 4 people & did not wait for a table. The service was exceptional with really thoughtful, attentive & kind staff attending to our needs. Coffee was amazing. I had a double shot of their blend, had great notes of berry & dark chocolate. Breakfast was so delicious & good value for the proportions. I had the Classic Breakfast & ate like royalty. The homemade mayo was great too for the potatoes. Eggs were buttery yum The ambience is a nice blend of Breakfast Cafe meet Cafe night life with a full bar. Overall would highly recommend & I will be returning A++++
