Confortable place to enjoy coffee with a piece of cake, but overpricedView more
Quite good coffee & atmosphere.
Edit 2025: The taste of a resto / cafe's toilet is make or break & it looks like this one hasn't been properly cleaned in ages. 3 stars & a hard pass until cleanliness improves.View more
Best latte in Montreal.
They use Ethiopian beans (which I prefer) on regular & have another bean type on rotation. Very balanced taste, doesn't leave you dehydrated or heartburned. The cakes & pastries are made on the spot & are always fresh. Note that they are Japanese style, so low sugar; don't expect an American diabetes experience.
The service is very friendly & they always insist on bringing the food to the table. They have loyalty cards which is a pleasant addition for those who come here often. Coffee beans available for sale.
The café itself is light, spacious, airy & clean. A pleasant experience to sit in overall.View more
I love coming here to grab a piece of cake! The cake is the fluffiest thing ever & the authentic Japanese style ! Weekends are mostly packed, so highly recommended coming here on weekdays if possible. On top of the food, the staff are always very friendly & welcoming :)View more
Visited on Saturday afternoon.
Clean & cozy place.
I love their cakes because it's light & not too sweet.
Found that the seats by the window are not so comfortable especially to eat, however, I still like the vibe of the cafe.
It's a perfect place to chat with friends over tasty drinks & desserts. Wish they open a bit longer than 4pm on weekendsView more
Popped in to rest my tired feet & wait for hotel check in time. Service was fine if not lukewarm. Immediately after I ordered, a rush of people came including online & in person orders. My espresso based drink & snack took 20 minutes. If I wasn't killing time, I likely would have cancelled order & left. Misto was fine, madeleines were dry & lacked flavour. I also received wrong flavour but as I sat across from customers (ordered after me) who ordered same thing, notices they got the last two. If my feet weren't killing, I likely would have contined to wander & explore.View more
The cafe owner (I think) told me that the place has a white & clean concept & it really comes through
They actively keep the place clean & tidy
The Earl gray donut was so good with the hojicha latte that I went for a second one!
This place has WiFi & would be such an amazing place to work out of during the day!View more
Best cafe ever & atmosphere unfortunately small relatively & no plugsView more
Favourite café of all time. Wish they were open longer for longer study sessionsView more
Leur matcha latte n'est pas le meilleur dans la ville, mais, mais! La gâteau! Merveilleux & délicieux & excellent! & aussi les pours overs sont bons aussi! Je l'ai visité plusieurs fois, les baristas sont aimables & l'ambiance est magnifique.View more

Makes you feel in a Japanese coffee shop for a moment.View more
White Heron Coffee - douceur, nuages & surprises sucrées ☁?🍵
J'ai goûté deux pointes de gâteaux : Earl Grey & Raisins verts & Châtaigne & Cassis. Visuellement, c'est déjà à couper le souffle- & en bouche, c'est encore mieux. Les shortcakes sont fluffy comme des nuages, aux saveurs à la fois délicates & étonnantes. Pas trop sucrés, juste ce qu'il faut. Je suis vite saturée par les desserts trop sucrés, alors que j'aurais volontiers mangé une troisième pointe de ceux-ci… 🍰💫
Côté boissons, j'ai savouré un matcha sakura & goûté un hojicha à la lavande. Les arômes sont bien présents sans être envahissants. Chaque gorgée est chaude & réconfortante. & le latte art? Magnifique - net, précis, apaisant à regarder.
Le décor est minimaliste, l'ambiance douce & calme : parfait pour étudier, lire ou discuter
.
Le service, attentionné & chaleureux.
Bref, tout était instagrammable… & surtout, au-delà de mes attentes.
White Heron Coffee - softness, clouds & sweet surprises ☁?🍵
I tried two slices of cake: Earl Grey & Green Grapes & Chestnut & Blackcurrant. Visually stunning - & the taste? Even better. The shortcakes are fluffy like clouds, with delicate yet surprising flavors. Not overly sweet, which I deeply appreciate. I usually get overwhelmed by sugar, but with these… I could've gone for a third slice. 🍰💫
As for drinks, I had the sakura matcha & tasted the lavender hojicha. The flavors are well-balanced - present without being overpowering. Every sip felt warm & comforting. & the latte art? Beautifully done - clean, precise, & a little visual hug.
The minimalist decor & soft ambiance make it the perfect spot to study, read, or quietly chat.
The service was friendly & kind.
All in all, everything was instagrammable… & honestly, beyond my expectations.View more
Super cozy very luminous & spacious coffee shop. We went early on a week day to get a good table & it was empty until around 11am. The staff were super kind & explained the whole menu. Matcha had a lovely bright green colour & tasted amazing. Desserts look great & not too sweet. Great for studying or treat yourself to a good matcha. Will definitely revisit.View more
Cake for me is too too too sweet🥲 but I know here always like sweet?View more
Cozy cafe store with delicious cakes. Their matcha & hojicha latte are great. Their chiffon cakes are made to perfection. The texture is spongey & the cream is very light. You can also pre-order a whole cake for special events.View more
Miso brownie had an interesting flavour & is worth a try, but keep in mind it melts on your fingers so it could get a bit messy. Black sesame bread was dry, but it goes down well with coffee. It's a filling snack. Ube donut was a bit too sweet. Staff is friendly, the atmosphere was very quiet though on a Tuesday afternoon in September. It felt rude to speak louder than whispers. A lot of customers were working or studying here.View more
Their cakes are delicious! Their matcha drinks are ok. Nice cafe with sufficient seating. However, parking could be an issues if you're driving there.View more
