Reviews of THE STANDARD Café present a mix of praise and critique. The space is described as cozy with a minimalist vibe, good pastries, and a relaxing atmosphere that makes it a nice place to work or unwind when conditions allow. Coffee is often called decent or good, but service quality varies, with reports of inattentive staff and some tension over pricing. Milk quality is a recurring topic, with complaints about budget plant milks and small volumes in cappuccinos, and take away cups leaking. Internet access is reported as very poor, making it less ideal for work, and some comments note a limited variety of viennoiseries. Overall the place shows charm and potential, though customers point to inconsistent service and milk options as areas for improvement.
Small cozy coffee place with good coffee beans, although the experience of visiting, & the coffee itself, can be ruined by the barista, which has happened several times. It's a matter of luck;)

This is a cute coffe spot. They have really good pastries as well. You can also purchase bags of coffee for home or as a gift. The Barista is always friendly & welcoming.
Paid $7.15 for a small soy latte … since when are they using Kirkland brand soy milk? For that price y'all should be using better quality milk like you used to. I am very disappointed.
Bon café mais mauvais service client. La personne ne souffre aucun commentaire même objectif & critique ouvertement d'autres clients qui ne sont pas assez riches selon lui pour se plaindre. Quand on n'aime pas les gens il faut changer de métier! Je suis une ancienne serveuse en restauration je sais de quoi je parle. Passez votre chemin.

Decent coffee. Obnoxious customer service.
I ordered my coffee with sugar.'This isn't Starbucks' the barista / owner tells me.'We serve good coffee here'. Seriously?
I just returned from Bali, Indonesia where I visited a coffee plantation that makes Lombok coffee, some of the finest coffee in the world. There, sugar is served alongside the coffees they presented for sampling. Ditto for the coffee plantations I visited in Costa Rica, Uganda, & Brazil. In Turkey, coffee has been served for over 500 years, with the standard question being: sweet, semi-sweet or black?
Mr Owner, may I suggest you go work at Starbucks, where you will learn that many people consume their coffee in many different ways.
Avoid this place. Unless you take your coffee black, of course.
It's a nice cafe at Westmount, a bit pricey but it's normal I guess considering the neighborhood. It's always nice to come here to take a coffee & relax. Love the plants inside, contrasting with the modern black interior decor & furniture. The coffee is not bad, the latte art could be better though. Not a big variety of viennoiseries is also a point to improve
