Just keeps getting worse. Terrible business decisions for profit. Used to be the best place for the most well-crafted Italian sandwiches.

Sausage sandwich just jumped from 13.95 to 16.95 from one week to the next. San Daniele sandwich went up yet another dollar, for the same, if not worse quality. In the past year, for the San Daniele, olive tapenade was removed, & the quantity of mortadella was almost halved & is otherwise inconsistent.

In the past year, for their whole lineup, they decided to replace any greens with shredded McDonald's-like lettuce because it was'easier' (read: cheaper). Fries portion was cut in half because they designed their new branded container. Most sandwiches went up in price despite all this.

They can't even compensate with warm customer service; everyone always acts too busy to serve anyone, with barely a smile.

It's quite unfortunate, & honestly embarrassing.

We were in town for a convention & stopped here for breakfast twice the pricing is great, the food is delicious & the coffee was delicious! Really nothing bad to say just a great spot for breakfast I got the BLT one day & the steak & eggs another day with a hash brown. Both delicious! Would love to come back go try other things on the menu or at lunch (the Italian sandwiches look amazing

Chef's kiss! Fresh, flavourful Italian sandwiches that are big enough to share, delicious pasta & tasty Caesar salad with homemade croutons. Perfect ambience with natural light & a nice patio for a relaxing lunch. If we lived here we would come all the time.

Italian cafe & sandwiches with cute staff. What else could you need?
TLDR: espresso great, matcha best I've had (!!!), sandwiches very good, had a classic tomato pesto style BANGER.

I ordered a flat white which was made small like a macchiato 🤌🏼 It was nice & strong & the espresso was smooth. Well made.
My friend ordered a matcha latte. God damn. those who seek the green dust- look no further.
I kept thieving sips of the best matcha latte I have ever had.
Often matcha lattes (& all lattes for that matter) are a time-consuming excuse not to steam milk smoothly (under or over), or mix the powder like it's a bowl of your morning oats. But this was not just some powder + liquid, this was a consistent drink.
The matcha itself was not sandy, grainy, muddy, earthy, bitter, or any other descriptor you non-matcha drinkers might use to describe it.
Anyways just frickin try it.
The sandwich, a monthly special on the menu, was a delectable way to bring joy to ma bouche. Toasted, bread not to thick, greasy, with a perfect distribution of cheese, tomato, pesto, & whatever else was on this bad boy… I simply regret not going back for seconds before close.
I evaluated my hunger to gauge if it would influence my review… & after careful consideration I believe that in fact I just like this place.

I've ordered here every other week, sometimes multiple times per week for over a year now. The recipes have recently changed, & not for the better. The San Daniele staple has now suffered cost cutting measures while still costing 20$ after taxes & tip, for a sandwich! Arugula was switched out for McDonald's shredded iceberg, & olive tapenade was scratched off entirely. This sandwich can now be made yourself for less than 5$. My regular smoked salmon sandwich, which is the one I can eat regularly for dietary restriction reasons, without going for the terrible "veggie" one, has now been removed from the menu. Value for the price no longer seems to be there. Shame, as it was for me the best sandwiches in town.

One of the best sandwiches in Montreal! They have other locations as well throughout the city. Highly recommended for pick up or you can eat on site. My favorite is the steak sandwhich. Run, don't walk!
