Food is pretty good, service is pretty good, cute spot right next to a park on a bike path which I love. Unfortunately, I find each time I'm here they are a little overwhelmed by the orders even if they're not that busy? They almost always forget something from our order.
Also a big bummer is that the coffee is pretty terrible, especially when it's served hot as a latte/flat white/ cortado. I've stopped ordering hot milk coffee because it's so bad, iced coffee passes. The milk is always separating from the espresso making a dark bitter coffee & a foam that isn't at all the quality you would expect from a cafe in Montreal.
Confusing because they stock good local roasters on their shelves & high quality plant milks but the coffee they serve is so bad? Not quite sure where the disconnect is.

I would come here if I want a sandwich or icecream! For sure.

Located in the neighbourhood where I grew up, I've been for years biking on the beautiful Gouin path next to the river, & for some reason never noticed that pleasant rest area….. until this summer. & now I am stopping by for coffee each time I'm around.

The atmosphere is warm & very European in a way I must say. It reminds me inside of the little bike cafes in Germany & Holland. The service is super friendly & you can have your bike checked up or fix a flat tire….. Regarding the prices, it's a little costly but times are rough for everybody, they have to make a living & I am glad I can support that cozy little spot, which hopefully will be around for many years to come. I just got my Racer Cafe shirt two days ago. 🤘

We have to appreciate & support every few bike cafes opening in MTL. It makes our rides more enjoyable.

Cheers to all! ✌?

I discovered a hidden gem of a coffee shop nestled along a bike path on Gouin boulevard. Their coffee is rich & flavorful, & they offer a diverse menu of sandwiches, muffins, & refreshing drinks. Plus, they have an ice cream counter to satisfy any sweet tooth! I highly recommend their refreshing lemonade cold brew. While enjoying your drink on their outdoor terrace, you can even get your bike tuned up by the convenient bike shop set up nearby.

I had an excellent iced coffee & I will definitely pass by again. The cafe is located along a bike path by the river, making it a convenient pit stop for a drink, snack or ice cream :)

A quaint little café on Gouin street just off the path from Ile de la Visitation park in Ahuntsic. They have a variety of drinks (we took an espresso & a latte) & some delicious sweets (took some cookies). Cookies were yummy, the espresso & latte were a little light (the brand? Not enough ground coffee in the machine during prep?). Nonetheless, great service & cute atmosphere!!
