The staff is wonderful and Joseph was very kind to our group who was stranded due to Air Canada strike.

I absolutely loved this cafe. The service was impeccable, I wasn’t sure what drink to get but the baristas were incredibly helpful and even offered to remake my drink if I didn’t like it. The atmosphere was beautiful, with birds flying around the cafe.

Let me start by the ambiance, it is just one of those cafés you fall in love with at first glance. Right from cobblestone flooring to pale ochre walls, a balcony and beautiful lamps/ chandeliers. Than comes the great coffee. The Lebanese know their craft and this doesn’t disappoint at all. Best flat white in town. A perfect pit stop for your daily caffeine need.

Im always a fan of places that are a cafe and also a bar. Cafes naturally close in the afternoon and bars start then so it makes a lot of sense to use the same space for both. Places like this usually have a good mix in their atmosphere since it needs to work for both. This one has a vary italain style with walls that look like you are walking down a old city and warm lighting to match it. The coffee itself was nice and earthy and when we came back the esspresso martini had a similar earthy and creamy flavor. Overall a nice little coffee shop.

Sandwich was not great for the price, too much cheese no veggies and not taste.

This is my first 1 start review on Google. I used to love their latte but guess what I spent 6.5 dollars on today - a cup of MOLD coffee. The taste was unbearable so I tossed it right away. I seriously don’t know how this could possibly happen but I hope I was the only one.

—Edit—
I got a takeout so I didn’t know the coffee was bad until I was a few blocks away & no longer had time to go back for a remake. I appreciate your quick response though.

Wonderful service. Didn't like my drink and they remade it without me even having to ask. Many thanks!!

Since 2022 every time that I went to class or to McGill’s library I would passed by this cafe and thought how beautiful it is. Finally today I decided that I could scoop some time and enjoy a moment there. It is precious! The ambiance and the chocolate mousse that I had was extraordinary, so soft and rich and not at all too sweet (even though the slices are big) there were cute little birds all around ❤️ like a daydream. Love it, great place!

I was the first customer of the day, and what a great way to start my day. Great coffee. Pleasant and relaxing vibe. Friendly and talented staff. There was a big brand cafe across the street. I made the right choice. Keep up the great work!

This coffee shop has a quiet, inviting atmosphere, enhanced by its antique-style decor—wooden furniture, vintage details, and soft lighting give it a timeless feel. It’s a comfortable place to sit for a while, whether you’re reading, working, or meeting someone. The coffee is smooth and well-prepared, with enough variety to suit different tastes. They also offer a good selection of sweet and savory food—fresh pastries, sandwiches, and small meals that pair nicely with the drinks. A steady, dependable place if you appreciate a classic setting with quality offerings

Sitting here with my Matcha green tea early in the morning is wonderful to start my day. The place is cozy and beautiful. You can choose to sit with the view of busy traffic or greenery. Staffs here are welcoming and helpful.
The Matcha green tea is perfectly taste that I like. I also enjoy the the interior design ;the old architecture of the wall and glass roof and the glass walls. If you the one who appreciates the old architecture, open view and slowdown time, you may find this place enjoyable same as me.

I visited this café yesterday and tried their Tiramisu cake. Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with a real Tiramisu – neither in taste nor in texture. Honestly, it didn’t even taste good as a regular cake. I was really disappointed, especially because a single slice cost $9.95. For that price, I expected something much better. Sadly, it was the worst Tiramisu I’ve ever had. Definitely not worth it.

Great little place with a nice city view!

Update, a local told me about this place, now this is my “go-to” place for coffee and a light meal! Love it!
