No black tea, only gimiky fruit latter teas & server couldn't speak French 😔

This café is disappointing. No teas, chai latte or anything non-coffee based besides a hot chocolate. Fair enough since it's a'café'. But the way it was communicated by the staff felt arrogant. The hot chocolate wasn't good too. Also no cocoa powder for your cappuccino, they like to keep it real simple, & standard. Cold ambiance overall.

They only had coffee & hot chocolate, they didn't have teas, chai lattes, matcha's or the infusions that were listed on the menu, so I ended up ordering a hot chocolate that wasn't that good. Service was ok, the music was so low that you couldn't hear it so it was a really awkward atmosphere.

Great decor. Nice people behind the counter. Unpretentious while still being cool.

Great place to hang out & put in a bit of work. Its a nice cafe with good seating & I really like the cafe there! I usually go for the espresso but I've ordered the cappuccino & Latte, & it came out amazing! Great cafe in the westmount/sherbrooke area & I'm glad I live around it.

I got there almost at closing time. The batista was really nice & really informative because I tried Cortado for the first, & she explained what it was. It was a nice little cozy café.

Such a lovely experience!!! I popped in here cause it seemed so cute, & I wasn't disappointed! (I usually don't review places, but wanted to chip in after seeing all these Coffee Karens' reviews lmao)

Ils vendent des sacs de plusieurs cafés de spécialité, mais j'ai eu le sentiment que le café qu'ils utilisent pour le café fait sur place est de basse qualité & trop torréfié (les grains dans le moulin étaient presque noirs, si j'ai halluciné c'est que la machine a besoin d'un bon détartrage parce que le café avec un goût de brûlé). J'ai par contre eu une bonne expérience avec la barista & j'ai trouvé que l'endroit était propre & agréable.

Decent place, minimalist-millennial-ish design. Better than the over-busy & whatever-whatever-shoot-me-now-this-is-just-another Starbucks two or three blocks away. They have these oddly flavoured latte mixes (ie. lavender, corn) they sell in pouches or make for you on-site & they're kind've fun. Not much place to sit but that makes the place less crowded. The pastries are ok. The overall feel of place is ok. The other Standard in the Mile End is nearly identical but just seems to "pop" more because it has more natural light & better people-watching opportunities. What I particularly like is dark & bohemian-esque handsome stubbled French-from-France guy who often mans the place (as well as the other Standard in the Mile-End). He's got a lot of character, doesn't speak much, & has a Javier-Bardem kind've look. He just seems a bit salty, sly, & like he's got hot takes on the culture but won't share them unless you play it cool & get to know him. He fascinates me.
