This cafe was right beside where I was staying in Montreal, so I had to try it out. I was so pleasantly surprised - it is such a vibe! It's quite obvious which items are the most popular, including the egg sandwich which we ordered multiple of. It was certainly delicious, & not something you can order just anywhere!

I also enjoyed all the iced drinks, which came for free with the purchase of a bag of coffee beans.

This place has been on my list for a while & I was finally in the area today, so I thought why not.

It was extremely busy & loud which made it difficult to communicate with staff. I placed my order & it was brought to where I was seated about 15 minutes or so later. It looked absolutely delicious & I love a jammy egg...

... but it barely tasted of anything at all. The bread seems to just be regular American style white bread, & whatever sauce they use is completely flavourless. I don't even know what it was. I can't even compare it to anything because I couldn't identify even a single flavour within. It's trying to be a quirky version of the Japanese style egg sandwich but it's completely unnecessary.

Sitting there, you quickly realize that this is yet another place that exists for vibes, stories, & to blow up online thanks to influencer content - & yeah, I was one of the people influenced, that's why I came here haha. People around me taking tons of photos & selfies & video recordings of themselves trying everything they ordered... which is fine. I took a picture too. But it's clear the food here is made to be Instagrammable over all else.

On the plus side, the coffee was good & the service was warm & friendly. But overall, this place didn't live up to the hype for me personally.

The building & entrance is hard to spot. There's a nice industrial vibe inside. The matcha is weak & powdery I would not recommend. Coffee was 10/10. The egg sandwich was delicious with deep fried breaded jammy boiled eggs. Keep in mind the kitchen does not open until 11 am if you're going for the sandwich. I would go back for the coffee & egg sandwich.

Today (June 24) late morning I went to this cafe to try their coffee, terrasse & food which were good. However, the issue is with the differential treatment I received from the cashier when I stood in the line. In front of me there was a white girl whom the cashier spoke to very nicely & ask how she was. When my turn came, the cashier's attitude suddenly shifted to a defensive attitude, cold smile, not the same treatment she offered the customer before me. An hour later I went to order some food & again the same attitude. I felt targeted by this lady.

To be fair, the people who were serving the food & making the coffee were much friendlier to me.

One of the most stylish cafes in Montreal. Remarkable design, excellent coffee, warm & kind service along with a very nice view of an inner courtyard. All served alongside Japanese sandwiches & snacks. Gets very busy around lunch.

Great sandwich & coffee! It's always very busy though because food is great.
The terrace is really nice in hot summer days too & a plus cause it's dog friendly.

Gem of an independent cafe, bistro, sake, DJ vibing joint. Excellent coffee, be quick to buy beans to go. The Matcha is superb.
