The BEST pannini in Montreal by far. Excellent service, Megan knows the menu inside out, & helped me make my choice. Couldn't finish, the portions are so generous, had supper later that evening!!! Will DEFINITELY go again & again...

Great place for a quick mocha drink on a warm summer day! Cold Mocha was great with a perfect balance between coffee & chocolate. Service was great as well. Will be coming back!
Visiting this cafe in the heart of Montreal was such a amazing experience, finding an authentic lunch style sandwich places is very difficult when you are just visiting a city, & when I found this place I was so lucky. The design & layout of this place was well thought out, the location is in a commercial area in the heart of downtown Montreal where is very inviting & designed very well. The service was fast, & everything was very fresh & made with high-quality ingredients. The pricing was very competitive & didn't hurt the pocket as much. There are options to choose from. Also, depending on what you're vegetarian to having even steak. I would give this a five out of five just for the authenticity & the quality that they're serving at the price point. Whenever I am back in the city, I will definitely be visiting this café again for the fries also were amazing.
Came here for a coffee but ended up ordering a steak panini & wow! Can't say enough about how amazing it is. We ended up ordering another panini sandwich & it was just as good. Will definitely be coming back & you should to, you will not regret it!!
Was excited to try after seeing many positive reviews. Overall a good meal but the taste is pretty standard & nothing stands out, like an elevated Subway with better bread. There needs some sourness in the salmon sandwich & some pesto or pepper with the steak sandwich would have been nice.
Loved their paninis & service. Samantha was serving me & she was super nice! She gave us an extra cup of hot chocolate on the house & amazing suggestions on vegetarian sandwiches.
