Really bad service. Mistakes in orders & accusing customers of making them. Keep coming back to tables again & again to ask what the customers asked. Made the customers pay twice. Very terrible service, never coming back. Very sad because the food is amazing.

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.

The sandos are pretty good as are the drinks. Afternoons tend to be busy & usually involve a wait in my experience but is worth it.
