We absolutely love both The Cubain & the Breakfast Panini!

The Cubain: Meaty, savory, & packed with flavor.

Breakfast Panini: The addition of fresh tomato & a perfect level of spiciness gives it a kick that balances everything out.

On top of the great food, I just love how cozy & relaxing the overall vibe of this cafe is. It's the spot to unwind!

It's loud inside & the service is okay. The food was delicious. We ordered take out & I think that's the best way to experience the food. I'd order out again.

Google reviews didn't lie when they said that if you're in Montreal, this is one of the must-visit spots in the city.

We tried the famous Cubano sandwich & the grilled cheese with caramelized onions, & both were incredibly satisfying & delicious. These aren't cheap sandwiches for $25 each, but the quality absolutely delivers. The Cubano was packed with flavor, with perfectly balanced fillings & beautifully toasted bread that stayed crisp with every bite.

The grilled cheese was equally memorable. Made with a blend of melted cheeses & sweet caramelized onions, every bite was rich, gooey, & indulgent without feeling overwhelming. Combined with the perfectly crisp, buttery bread, it's the kind of sandwich you'll still be thinking about hours later.

The atmosphere is another reason why this place stands out. It has a charming, bohemian vibe that's both cozy & energetic. It's busy, there's almost always a line, most likely seats needs long wait on the weekends, & after experiencing it firsthand, it's easy to understand why. Btw, I wasn't able to snag a seat so I took it on the road.

& the mocha? Easily one of the best I've had in Montreal. Rich, balanced, & comforting-definitely a standout.

Yes, you'll pay more than you would for an ordinary sandwich, but this is far from an ordinary sandwich shop. The quality, atmosphere, & overall experience make it well worth the visit. If you're in Montreal, do yourself a favor & don't skip this place.
