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 comes across as a cozy, eclectic neighborhood gem with a warm, welcoming vibe and beautifully curated decor that blends greenery with vintage touches. The atmosphere invites lingering, with multiple comfy seating nooks, great music, and a sense of home whether working, chatting with friends, or simply relaxing. The menu features in house foods and a range of Greek pastries, cakes, cookies, and brunch options, with standouts like quiches, tiropita and spanakopita, and desserts that pair well with coffee. The coffee and beverages receive frequent praise, especially for creamy lattes and well balanced cappuccinos, though a few reviews note price concerns or occasional latte bitterness. Service is repeatedly described as friendly, attentive, and caring, with staff and owners seeming genuinely invested in the guest experience, while a minority mention tense interactions or value concerns. Overall, Saint JJH & Café feels like a beloved destination for studying or socializing, offering a warm, comforting setting, generous portions, and a distinctive vibe that keeps guests coming back.
My favourite little cafe in Montreal. This place is a neighborhood gem, the sort of quaint & cozy spot that becomes a regular with your friend group & where the owners know you by name. The service is always so lovely - everyone that works there is always so kind & warm. It's got an eclectic, moody vibe with lots of cute seating in all these little nooks, cool artwork & the best music playlist. The food is made in house & between the unique quiches (my favourite), Greek pastries, cakes, cookies & hot breakfast options (the pesto omelette is so good, & a great portion for the price) - you won't go hungry. Having saved the best for last, let's talk about their coffee : the best latte I've had in a long time. Deliciously creamy & perfectly balanced. They make such great coffee, I find myself returning to this place with embarrassing frequency. If you are ever in the area, make sure you give this place a try - well worth the visit!
What a gem of a café! The atmosphere is really unique, the music is always on point, & the coffee is stellar. To top it all off, they have some Greek pastries like tiropita & spanakopita! What more could you ask for?

What a beutiful cozy unique surprise spot while venturing in Verdun . Warm & made me feel like I could snuggle up with tea & a book or chat with friends for hrs
I have been frequenting this coffee shop for over a year, & it is my number one spot in the city. I drive one hour to meet up with friends & enjoy delicious coffee, relaxing atmosphere, chill music, & the best cheesecakes around.
One of the owners is absolutely the sweetest human & makes us feel like family every time we are there❤?
My only wish is that I lived closer to this little gem. A truly unique & special place indeed.
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.
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.

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 !
Whaou une place si douce & apaisante ! Ce café offre une ambiance unique qui sort vraiment de l'ordinaire. Tout est fait maison, & ça se sent : du salé au dessert, tout était délicieux ! Il y a aussi des options végétariennes, ce qui est top. L'endroit est très agréable, parfait pour un moment de détente ou même pour télétravailler. L'équipe est souriante & accueillante. Je recommande vivement ! 100%
Délicieux & convivial ! Un espace apaisant, relaxant. Parfait pour écrire & dessiner. Un café réconfortant & une cuisine maison. Un staff souriant, qui a plaisir à discuter & transmettre les belles valeurs du lieu. Un bonus magistral pour la décoration créative & atypique qui transporte dans un univers unique chargés en souvenirs.
the vibes in here are immaculate, the prices are on the higher end but by the quality of both their food & coffee you can tell it's because they use great ingredients & not only that the staff is so sweet!!! the interior design is so cosy & unique perfect place to study or chill & the music they play is top tie

C'est un véritable joyau caché à Verdun ! Ce lieu chaleureux rappelle l'atmosphère d'une boutique d'antiquités. Le café est excellent, les pâtisseries sont alléchantes, & la décoration est vraiment unique. On y propose également un brunch.
First time there. Very unique inside & different from most places but has a very comforting atmosphere to it. The owner was so friendly & super nice & easy to talk to. She definitely made it very welcoming
