A lively cafe, kid friendly, ample seating. Lots of sandwiches & sweet bites. Service is always great. The coffee is alright, very dark roast with no particular flavour notes.

Une belle découverte dans le quartier Villeray!!! Le café est super bon! Leur sandwich & grille-cheese aussi! Ils sont super gentil avec les enfants, ma fille a eu le droit à du lait en mousse avec du cacao sur le dessus, elle était super contente d'avoir'un café comme nous'.

It's a delightful coffee shop with great food (lots of vegan/veg options) & great coffee & pastries. The egg salad & bacon croissant sandwich was delicious. They were playing great spanish radio & had on the sports channel at a very reasonable volume for small conversation 💝 I would 1000% recommend!

Love this place to have a nice hangout with friends & kids. Spacious kids area , which is a rare find.
Food is good, & fresh, & many great made to order options. The coffee is good & the brookies are yummy! The service is great, you can tell it's always made with heart.

A couple drawbacks: wishing that the sandwiches were a bit more filling for the price. Not a deal-breaker because I think the product is good. The other drawback is there is not change table in the bathroom . Would be very helpful.
Despitw this, I'll be coming back again & again :)

Delicious grill cheese, sandwiches & coffees. They have a kids corner which is greatly appreciated by parents. The only thing to keep in mind is that they don't have a changing table for babies. But would still strongly recommend & would go back!

This cozy little café with a real Pinocchio obsession takes the humble grilled cheese extremely seriously - in the best possible way. Every sandwich is made fresh when you order it (no pre-made, reheated imposters here) & served in a basket meant for enjoying right there, while it's perfectly warm & gloriously melty.

The classic grilled cheese was everything you could hope for: outrageously cheesy without tipping into salty overload, perfectly crisped, & comfortingly indulgent. But the real fun comes from their creative variations.

We tried the new Grilled Mac & Cheese, which turned out to be exactly what our imaginations had hoped for - delightfully decadent & unapologetically comforting.

& the Bugia grilled cheese, filled with brie, sundried tomatoes, & goat cheese. Already a dream combination… but we added honey, & suddenly the whole thing crossed into mind-blowing territory. Sweet, tangy, creamy, crunchy - a sandwich with personality.

The café itself feels like stepping into a living scrapbook. Family & friends' photos line the walls, giving the whole space a warm, genuine charm. The tables are painted in cheerful colors that echo Pinocchio's palette, & instead of bar stools, everyone sits comfortably - which makes it feel even more welcoming.

It's a place that works for absolutely everyone: kids, families, couples, dogs, & people like me who simply show up with a serious grilled cheese craving.
There are books, games, & colouring books for kids, making it easy to linger. It's also a surprisingly lovely place to work for a bit while enjoying a sandwich & a coffee.

✨ ☕ & if you need one more reason to visit: they offer free small coffee on Monday mornings from 7-9 am, a little act of kindness to start the week ✨

Between the thoughtful food, the playful atmosphere, & the genuinely warm people behind it all, it feels less like a café & more like a place where life just naturally happens - one perfectly grilled sandwich at a time.

Coffee was decent, sandwich was good but nothing special & not worth 15+ $$. The vibe of the place is nice but kind of loud.
