Really love this cafe! Amazing for hanging out, dates, & js working. Atmosphere is great!! I was pleasantly surprised with the wine collection & the multitude of plants by the window. Very comfy seats & rich matcha, 100% recommend for a slow morning lock in session 🤭

A lovely, cozy, hipster coffee spot - & not just coffee!
Great music, delicious coffee & pastries, friendly staff.
We stopped by one summer evening while in the area, & the wine with tapas was a really great experience.

Absolute gem of a place! Really cool & unique sundries such as tinned seafood & bottles of wine you can't find anywhere else. Get the cappuccino.

Lovely artsy café in a beautiful vibrant neighborhood. Great coffee (espresso) with Canelé & they also serve vermut & wine testing. Felt almost like in Barcelona vibe.
True vibe!!! Only con is that I'm leaving & won't be able to enjoy it. Hasta pronto! 🥂

Nice, hip cafe. Ordered a decaf americano & it was very nice. Also a good place to work, read, met, whatever. The place is small but it feels cozy. A bit underground & they have indoor & small patio seating. They have wine nights in Fridays, except, literally the one Friday I wanted to take my friends to was closed. Very disappointing.

Okay you're in downtown Montreal so it's hipster-ville, but then that's coffee culture for you. You know that going in…

But the staff rock - girl with the heron tattoo, I'm in love 😇 I'll be looking for the artist!

The London Fog was spot-on, the BEC muffin was perfect, a smooth start to a busy Saturday morning… & a great welcome to the neighborhood. It reminded me of the long-defunct Jean-Pierre's bakery in the River Oaks neighborhood of Houston, TX…

I'll be back soon & hope to make a wine evening… 👍👍👍

Loved the vibes , loved the plants. They have a variety of cool products like sardines, olive oil, wine & stuff but damn I had a scone & I think there was mold in it. But I also had a chai & it was absolutely amazing. Also for anyone who care they have microbewery iPas & maybe neipas 9/10 would get moldy scone again if paired with their chai.

Delicious coffee! Their treats come from the famous Automne bakery in Villeray, my favorite in the city. They also have an imported wine section.
