This place is so cute. It's a small friendly space where you can have your coffee & feel at home. There is a very cute cat that is the space's friend. Very cute & cozy. Specs indeed.
5 + 5 + 5 = 5 . Haha if this rating doesn't speak about itself 😝 joke aside: great place, very welcoming staff & cozy ambiance. Lot of homemade food for lunch. See for yourselves?
First time there staff was really friendly delicious coffee they have over 20 different types of cookies I will definitely come back with my motorcycle Buddies
Really cute little cafe! Lots of food options, kind staff, & a few cozy nooks to sit & eat (indoors & outdoors). Conveniently close to the Jarry metro. We look forward to returning!
Le service est incroyable! Nous pouvons même y amener notre chien & il se fait fréquemment gâter sur-place Ce café rend la famille au complet heureuse Merci d'existe
🌞Meilleur ptit café proche de la station Jarry☕️ . - Lundi matin => café gratuit pour les lève-tôt - Presque tous les jours => possibilité d'acheter les sandwichs de la veille à moitié-prix - Service souriant à 95% [pour toutes les fois que j'y suis allé, c'est un très bon ratio!😇] - l'été, c'est très plaisant d'y prendre un café-slush sur la terrasse sous le soleil 🙂↔️ - leurs ptits biscuits faits maison sont un délice !🍪 - du pain à donner à peu près tous les jours & un engagement ressenti avec la communauté locale 🫶 - les sandwichs avec du proscutto => un DÉLICE 🤤 . Le seul bémol, c'est que je trouve les prix chers pour les étudiants... mais bon c'est comme tous les cafés du coin. Il faut au moins 15$-20$ pour boire un café & grignoter.
Les meilleurs sandwichs de Villeray! Beaucoup de choix de nourriture & excellents cafés, prix raisonnables, grande terrasse l'été, excellent service... J'adore!
Kid-friendly & dog-friendly. The terrace is a nice addition in the summer, but it is a bit smelly because of the Portuguese patisserie next door (sometimes smell like fish) & without much shade.
Top notch. L'ambiance est très bonne, cosy comme on dit... Le service est impeccable. La nourriture & le café: sublime. L'employé & moi se sommes mal compris pour ma commande, mais le tout a été corrigé très rapidement sans problème. Recommendé sans hésitation.
