We have taken great care in the construction of this café in order to offer you a unique atmosphere, composed entirely of recycled materials and renovated second hand furniture. The Saint JJH&CAFÉ is the perfect meeting of retro and antique. Your eyes will easily get lost in the immensity of details that we have disseminated in this space where materials, furniture and objects were once destined to be abandoned, but now live a beautiful second life.
Saint JJH & Café feels like a cozy, standout neighborhood spot with warm, eclectic decor and a welcoming vibe; the in-house menu features homemade dishes and pastries, accompanied by highly praised coffee and desserts like cheesecake, with several reviews calling the beverages rich, creamy, and well balanced; the staff and owner are repeatedly described as friendly, attentive, and caring, creating a space that's great for studying, catching up with friends, or simply relaxing; the atmosphere, unique layout, and greenery contribute to a homey yet stylish feel, and while some notes mention higher prices or occasional climate issues, the overall sentiment is that this cafe is a gem worth visiting and returning to.
L'endroit a une belle atmosphère, mais les prix - introuvables avant de payer - sont exorbitants. Belle surprise à la caisse ! Peut-être est-ce la raison pour laquelle le lieu était désert, un samedi matin à 11 h.
Mise à jour : C'est bien dommage que le propriétaire, au lieu de considérer les commentaires sur son restaurant comme un cadeau & une occasion d'examiner ce qui pourrait être amélioré, préfère attaquer, critiquer & me dénigrer.
Il agit comme si je ne savais pas distinguer une pâtisserie d'un plat principal & voudrait aussi me faire croire qu'il y a eu un énorme coup de feu… qui se serait mystérieusement volatilisé en plein pic du brunch, un samedi matin.
Les prix, eux, sont tout simplement insultants : 6,33 $ pour un cortado qui coûte presque deux fois moins cher dans un café avec un meilleur barista, & 23 $ pour une simple tranche de pain recouverte de guacamole.
À aucun moment, je n'ai reçu de menu avec les prix. Tout est affiché sur un mur, sans tarifs indiqués, avec un menu posé en évidence… également sans prix. Vous comptez sur la gêne des clients, qui n'oseront pas demander, & qui paieront une fois l'addition présentée.
Mais à ce stade, ce ne sont pas seulement ces tarifs exorbitants qui me dissuadent de revenir : c'est surtout l'attitude agressive du propriétaire & son incapacité à accepter la moindre critique.
Quel gâchis.
I got a iced strawberry matcha & it was the best I have ever had! The atmosphere & vibe is really amazing too. If I lived here I would go to this cafe every day. I highly recommend.

Un excellent endroit pour se détendre en fin de semaine! L'ambiance est agréable & apaisante, parfaite pour un moment de détente. J'ai particulièrement apprécié mon repas qui est combiné par la crêpe, la fromage à la crème & le cheesecake dedans, des douceurs gourmandes qui sauront combler les amateurs de sucré. Accompagné d'un cortado bien préparé, c'était une belle découverte tant pour les desserts que pour la qualité du café. Une adresse à revisiter sans hésitation..
Aujourd'hui je suis retournée & le cocktail fait à maison est bon! 😺
We found out about this place from someone else's video on TikTok & knew we had to go. I was afraid that it would be all looks & no substance but boy was I wrong. The ambiance/decor of course were great but what really pushed it over for us were the extremely friendly staff & the great selection of food & drinks. (I was surprised honestly compared to what is usually on offer in local cafés) Speaking of, the food was fantastic. I went with a savory brunch crêpe, regular drip coffee & homemade lemonade & everything was perfect. Will not only go back, but will make sure all of my friends know about it!
Saint JJH & Café is truly a hidden gem. The setting is nothing like your typical coffee spot. It's cosy, warm, & beautifully curated. The space is filled with greenery & unique touches, blending plants with timeless, antique-style pieces that give the café a distinct charm. It's characterful & elegant, like stepping into a thoughtfully designed space where every detail feels intentional. A perfect place to relax, connect, & enjoy a special moment.
My favourite cafe. There's so much care that goes into this place. Every time I pass by, the owner is always hard at work; either taking care of her plants, cleaning the tables, she clearly loves her cafe. & it's felt throughout the space.
It's refreshing to have a place in the neighborhood that serves fresh, in house foods. I tried their salmon toast for breakfast today & I'll be returning for it. Everything about it is delicious. I'd even eat the salad on its own.
The French, blonde woman & the man employees are always welcoming & caring.
It was a lovely way to start the day. I also often order their hot chocolates - the owner always nails them!

Endroit très très sympa pour prendre un café & se détendre ! Les cheesecake sont délicieux & l'endroit est agréable.
Nous sommes allés un jour de forte chaleur & le lieux n'est pas climatisé, le seul bémol.
Le London Fog est très bien réalisé & délicieux !
Cozy, eclectically decorated café with foamy coffees & good treats. But the biggest thing - & I can't really stress this enough - IT HAS A FIREPLACE. A FIREPLACE, people. Put on your boots & pull your hood tight on those stormy January days & you'll be soooo glad you're in Verdun.
Toujours un plaisir de venir chercher un café ici, ou s'assoir pour manger de leurs bonnes crêpes! Sans oublier les fameux Spanakopita🤤 le tout servi par des gens qui semblent passionnés & très sympathiques 😊
Un incontournable de Verdun!

J'adore découvrir de nouveaux cafés, mais celui-ci est un gros coup de coeur ! Une véritable pépite comme on en trouve peu à Montréal ! L'ambiance est incroyable, l'accueil chaleureux & ce que j'ai pris était vraiment bon. Clairement devenu un incontournable.♥?
Absolutely wonderful place & atmosphere! The layout of it is unique, cozy & tweaked with vibrant personality. The music is enjoyable & never repetitive which adds a great touch. As someone who normally studies with headphones, I find myself often removing them. Enjoying the music while continuing to engage myself in my work. I must add that the menu is fresh with personality & ingenuity. I don't normally order food at cafes, but they have an exceptionally irresistible menu. The other day I ordered a blueberry pie. It was sweet & exuded generosity.
It is very clear that a lot of love & soul continuously goes into this place. & its that heart & soul that really makes this place what it is. Not just with the food, music & decor, but especially in the customer service. The staff are clearly cared for & happy to be there & it shows. & that care extends to the customers. It shows that client satisfaction is very important to this place. From enjoying their food & drinks, to seating arrangements & overall experience.
& if you're lucky, which you will be if you come here. You might get a chance to meet the owner. Who is a very pleasant person. & without a doubt is extremely present in ensuring that her customers experience is of the highest quality. Even when closing time comes, she never lets anyone feel rushed to leave. Letting people finish things up on their own. For someone who studies a lot that was really nice.
& the quality of interactions that happen here are fantastic. Whether its between the staff, the owner or others. It is definitely a great vibe whether you just want to study alone or meet new people. Everyone seems to be so nice a respectful.
For these reasons this cafe becomes more than just a place to study. But kin to a loving home that opens its arms so warmly to everyone. I believe it is truly a gem & a staple within its community.
Proprios incroyables. Une vraie petite famille ce commerce qui a à coeur le bien-etre du quartier. Entrepreneurs exemplaires. Café super bon & la bouffe est réconfortante.
J'aimerais commencer par dire que c'est un endroit très cute avec des employés superbes, mais je dois dire que un expresso un café pis deux muffins. Ça coûte 25 pièces. Je comprends que les prix ont augmenté depuis quelques temps juste en général, mais ça va faire détruire les petites entreprises comme celadésolé mais c'est vrai
Le café est divin & de grande qualité. J'ai pris un mocha, que du bonheur ! Fait avec du vrai chocolat de qualité. Les 2 propriétaires (Louis & sa collègue) sont super sympathiques. Ambiance très cozy, original. Très bonne nourriture fait sur place. Un must à découvrir, unique en son genre !
