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.

Vibe vraiment cool! Vinyles à vendre, écoute sur place. Matcha de très bonne qualité. Super sandwiches bien garnis & goûteux. Très lumineux malgré le fait que c'est dans un demi sous-sol. Rapport qualité-prix excellent. Beaucoup de places assises à l'intérieur & petite terrasse cute. C'est populaire, alors souvent beaucoup de gens. Service courtois. Endroit très propre.

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.

Cool space & chill vibes (loved the music they were playing)! Delicious sandos! Friendly staff! Came on a Sunday afternoon with two friends, had no issue finding a table. Great first time experience & would love to come back again!

The vibes here are immaculate & I loved my drinks + sando! Such a cute spot to work (though a lot of the seating is social only) & it was super chill in the morning. Gets busy at 11 when the lunch menu comes up but it's worth it!

I only wanted a quick brunch item, so I swung by for the Tamago Sando after a wait of 10 min to order.

I actually liked the industrial vibe of the cafe, matching many of buildings & stations in Montreal, brightened up with the skylights & disco ball. There was more table space than expected from reviews, & I would def come back to work here.

Unfortunately, the Tamago Sando was just okay. It was a bit bland, nothing I'd strongly recommend to others. I didn't try the drinks this time around though.

This fine venue is highly impressive because of the massive number of options it has. There is a great option for every single guest who arrives at the space. The general vibe feels remarkably kind, welcoming, & positive. The staff acts fast & delivers great service. I am fully intending to visit again to see the rest of it.
