Bon sandwich & boisson mais rien d'exceptionnel. Très cher pour ce que c'est & au prix qu'ils chargent, il devrait y avoir des accompagnement avec leur sandwiches.
28$ = prix pour 1 sandwich & 1 thé glacé, c'est cher payé pour un panini…
Première expérience inoubliable. La nourriture est vraiment excellente & les pains sont moelleux & frais. Je dois absolument y retourner pour essayer le café. Très agréable, une excellente découverte.
The service was great but I'm a barista & a bit of a complicated coffee drinker, this coffee was burnt even though the milk in my latte was well frothed.

That's a great place. I've been around a lot of coffee, this one is something else. The coffee & the food is really great. The service & the staff is polite & efficent. Will come back for sure.
Very disappointed tonight after we ordered 2 panini of the month, at $17.95 each, we had 2 slices of steak, 6 arugula leafs in each sandwich. The last time I went, I had the steak/capocollo panini (again $17.95) which had one slice of each & I thought it was an off day but I guess it's the norm. I have been going to this location since then opening & I find the quality has gone down & it's very disappointing.
However, the service is always good, the restaurant has a good vibe & a beautiful terrace.
Service rapide, équipe jeune, c'est grand, propre, j'apprécie le fait qu'il y a de l'eau citronné à l'entrée, stationnement disponible, wifi, prix raisonnables . Seul bémol : je trouve la musique trop forte.
Great food & polite & friendly employees but atmosphere & operations are chaotic:
- hot & humid & the AC didn't work properly,
- way too loud
- messy lineup at the cash & you need to push through people to get to the washrooms / your table
- chaotic table & order management, they gave our food to someone else & had to redo our orde
Unfortunately, they are lacking consistency! The 1st month they were openly all the sandwiches were prepared to perfection. The last 2 times was a very big let down. Chewy steak with only 1 thin slice. Chicken club had almost no chicken & very small bite seize pieces that were falling out from the bread. & how could they mess up frozen fries? Hope they get it together, I'll give them another shot but after that I'm done wasting my money on bread & condiments.
