Du bon cafe & un large choix de nourriture, sucrée ou salée. On reconnaît les pâtisseries du petit Paris & les cannelés de Douces mtl, ils savent choisir les meilleurs produits pour satisfaire leut clientèle.
Vous etes toujours accueilli avec un sourire & une ambiance vraiment positive plane ici.
Toujours un plaisir de s'arrêter par la
I used to go there from time to time when I lived in Villeray about a year ago, & it's hands down the best café in the neighborhood! Though the space is on the smaller side, they absolutely nail the atmosphere with their warm, almost all-wood decor & walls filled with pictures. The food is solid, the coffee is excellent, & they're one of the rare spots that offer macadamia milk-making their mochaccinos at least ten times better!
mon café préféré ! mes enfants sont toujours les bienvenus. Des gens formidables travaillent ici. Merci de m'avoir donné l'opportunité de découvrir le monde à mon arrivée à Montréal. C'est le premier endroit qui m'a fait découvrir la culture des cafés cosy & conviviaux.

I'm the neighbor upstairs, due to their expansion, we had our water cut off. Thankfully they offered us their toilet & I went to buy their Stramboli sandwich, owner was a friendly generous person & gave it on the house for our water being cut off. It was a delcious sandwich, very filling. Thank you so much. Also love the fact the neighborhood cat always hangs around the cafe
I ate an avocado & bacon grilled cheese with a hot chocolate. Everything was awesome. The place is very calm & beautifully decorated. The service was excellent 👌
This is such a welcoming & warm place! The owners are crazy about dogs & kids. You can go have a nice grilled cheese or sandwich or croissant or one of the best vegan pastry with your furry friend. Nice terrasse during the summer. It's one of my regular go-to during weekends.
Petit café de quartier agréable, la bouffe est bonne & les employés sont supers! Je donne 4/5 seulement parce que le service peut être assez (très) lent parfois. Mais sinon c'est vraiment bien! Update: j'y suis retournée (août 2024) & ils sont plein d'options véganes!! Wouhoo !! & c'est tellement bon!!
