This place could be better managed. I went there twice but both time the sandwiches are sold out. The second time I went around 1pm… it was not very late for a Saturday. But otherwise very cute place & nice drinks

Food is amazing but it always takes an hour to get a sando or a rice curry

Awesome little joint, don't be fooled by the exterior. Great sandwiches & to my surprise the Katsu Curry was great too.
As it moonlights as a club it's atmosphere is loud even during day service. There is a decibel monitor in the cafe & it was at 82 when we were there. We didn't wait for a line at 11:30am but the line quickly grew as we waited for our food so be ready to wait as it's a popular spot.

We heard about this place researching for our trip to Montreal & it was great for us.

Great music & atmosphere here, the food is delicious but the portions are a bit small. I ordered the chicken katsu curry(??) & there were two small pieces of chicken in it.

I tried a Yuzu tea & a Karaage sandwich.

The yuzu tea was made with Sencha, which is a type of green tea. I didn't expect it to be green tea, & I wish it had been written clearly on the menu. If I had known, I wouldn't have ordered it.

The karaage sandwich had Japanese-style fried chicken, tomatoes, lettuce, & jalapenos. I expected it to be hot, but both the bread & the chicken were cold, which was disappointing.

It also took about 30 minutes to get the sandwich after ordering. You should go there only if you have patience & plenty of time.

We got to osmo right before the rush. My hojicha latte was delicious. Would love to go back to try their sandwiches. Great vibe in there & lovely garden patio.

Le café est extrêmement bruyant, nous avons attendu 15 minutes pour des boissons. Nous avons pris deux matcha cérémonie, & plutôt décevant, pour un matcha de cérémonie, on ne sent pas la qualité du produit, & en plus de cela, il y a du sucre à la préparation, ce qui gâche un peu le goût du matcha.. c'est dommage
