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… 👍👍👍

I ordered a cold brew & it tasted like tomato juice. Got oat milk so it was a little more expensive but I literally spent 7$ on it & couldn't take more than 2 sips. Really cute atmosphere & nice staff tho

Le café est très bon & l'accueil est chaleureux. Les filles présentes sont toujours souriantes & très gentilles. Un bon choix de collations & des bonnes pâtisseries.

Mon adresse coup de coeur en tout temps. Le staff est accueillant & amical, le café toujours délicieux, super sandwich déjeuner & les viennoiseries d'Automne Boulangerie sont impeccables (il me faut le muffin choco-bananes à toutes les semaines!). Belle variété de vins & de cidres disponibles pour emporter. À essayer aussi les jeudis & vendredis avant ou après un film au Forum : leur buvette. De merveilleuses entrées à partager & des vins sublimes.
