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.

On m'avait recommandé la place. Super sympa & unique! Les sandwiches sont excellentes & les boissons à la hauteur des attentes. Le service n'est pas le plus rapide avant le gros rush du midi. La terrasse extérieur est un have de paix dans la ville. Je recommande!

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!

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.
