Got a ciabatta sandwich & an iced matcha latté with oat milk. My homie got a bagel with cream cheese & a latté with oat milk. The sandwiches & latté were great, & so were the service &'atmosphere'.

The matcha latté was one of the worst things I have ever tasted, but I could tell it was likely no fault of the barista. I'm talking grass clippings-flavour. This was truly despicable. I think that the global matcha shortage must have forced them to switch to a much cheaper & more bitter matcha. I would not be writing this if not for that drink. I am not a very picky or sensitive eater, so I hope you understand that this was a pretty serious issue.

I think they should consider removing matcha from the menu until the'matcha craze' dies down & they can afford matcha of a decent quality. I'll get a chai next time. The barista was great & the temperature in the room was lovely.
Thanks for reading!

I judge coffee shops mainly from the quality of their espresso shots. It was bad. Like over extracted & watery. Maybe it's just the barista that served me, but I probably will stop somewhere else next time Im in little italy, especially given the density of good coffee in the area.

Today, I visited this café for the first time to get some work done on my computer. I arrived around 11 in the morning, & the place was not even half full. After scanning the menu, I ordered a latte, the staff didn't rush us, which was appreciated. I spoke in English, but the girl/server didn't say anything, I'm assuming she didn't feel comfortable speaking English. Despite that, the atmosphere remained pleasant & calm throughout my stay until 3 pm. As it got busier around lunchtime, the air inside warmed up, but I didn't mind. Eventually, I ordered a chicken sandwich on a baguette with nacho chips, & it was delicious. While the prices were moderate, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of both the latte & the sandwich. The wifi worked perfectly without any lag, & the bathroom was clean. The only downside was that the staff could have been a bit friendlier & more welcoming; they seemed a bit disinterested. Overall, though, it was a positive experience.

One of the best cafe in Montreal. My first criteria for a great coffee shop is the quality of the latte, cappuccino, etc, & the consistency of that quality. Moustache is high on both: you can count on having an excellent Italian style coffee no matter whose barista is working that day. The second criteria I have is the comfort & the beauty of the place. Again, Moustache rates high, they did a great job years ago expanding & it is one of most confortable cafe around. Third for me is the quality of the food: Moustache has excellent well prices sandwiches, daily soup, salad bowls & sweets. Their smoothies are excellent as well. Lastly is the service: it is a very warm place with the staff welcoming & the owner fantastic.
