I visited this restaurant for the first time last Monday morning, June 9. I ordered the avocado toast on the menu. I don’t really have anything significant to say about the food. The reason I gave a 3-star rating for service and atmosphere (small space) is that I was served cold coffee and when I asked it to be reheated, to my surprise, I was told the milk was poured right out of the fridge and they couldn’t just reheat the coffee because they had no microwave! The waiter decided to use steamed milk and was obliged to put the coffee in a giant mug, making me sick after I left the restaurant because I had too much caffeine in my stomach! In addition, why was I charged $26.44 for a “tartine avocat” and a regular SMALL mug of coffee? I NEVER ordered a GIANT mug of coffee! My bad for not checking the total amount at the cash before I scanned my credit card or else, I would have asked for an explanation for sure!! I would recommend you go somewhere else where there are more breakfast options and cheaper. By the way, don’t bother checking the menu for prices online because there is no mention at all!! I don’t have money to throw away when a restaurant cannot even reheat coffee and overcharges for a simple meal which doesn’t even include coffee in the first place!
Big sandwich dej and tasty coffee!
Excellent coffee and nice bright space.
Lighter roast.
A bit on the pricier side.
Very very good latte and the bakeries are good. Dry bagel sometimes and the last time I went the jam was no longer the homemade jam so delicious. Too bad the prices are so high!

It was a wonderful start to the morning!!!
The atmosphere is great, you immediately feel at home.
The three employees are really friendly, have a smile on their faces and the food is prepared with a lot of love.
The coffee was great, whether it was an Americano, a flat white or a cappuccino, everything tasted great.
We also had a chocolate croissant and an avocado bread, everything was super delicious!!!
Thank you for the great start that made you forget the rainy morning :)

First time at the café, we came to get a coffee to take away, the waitress was stupid when we asked questions about the sizes of the café, she looked at us in a very condescending way, and answered us curtly... she gave us our coffee by saying neither thank you nor goodbye, even if the place is cool (and the coffee is good) that doesn't give you the right to be unpleasant.

Really good chain. Quality coffee and chai (the spicy Say When variety) in a nice setting. They also sell pastries. I ordered a drty chai decaf soy latte.

One of my favorite cafes in Montreal. I love their quality coffees, and my friends in Los Angeles really liked them. One of the charming girls in the kitchen made me a delicious avocado and poached egg salad.

10 minutes to wait for a coffee. I was served last even though I had ordered before other people, for not having the right coffee....very disappointing....

Nice little café, a bit too “corporate” compared to some local places around. The croissant was excellent though…
Very nice atmosphere and delicious coffee

I ordered a matcha to go so I could leave whenever I needed to and I thought to sit outside (at their terrace) and have my own lunch. One drink was 7.50+1.52 tip more than generous for only a beverage to go. Well surprise they refused to let me sit and use their bench outside because I had my own food. What a cheap place to force customers to eat their food and consume more than a drink to be able to sit - deceiving. I had better matcha too!

Very disappointed with the morning service. The waiter was cold and didn't even bother to say goodbye. Having worked in customer service, I know how important it is to create a pleasant exchange, and I always take care to say hello and ask how things are when I go to a business. However, the customer before me was well received. I don't know if it's religious discrimination, but I felt uncomfortable. Very disappointing experience, yet all the other times the service was impeccable. However, the café remains very pleasant despite the rather small place.
