Best hot beverages in all of Montreal, scones are to die for, crispy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside. Many other tasty snack options available like their yogurt&granola.
Super cute cafe if you want to have it “for here”.
All the baristas are very nice.
Service is consistent, friendly and reasonably quick.

I’ve been coming to this café for over 10 years. This is my place — my favorite coffee, my favorite atmosphere, my little ritual. But lately… what is going on?

Every time I try to come in, sit down with a friend, enjoy a coffee, read a book, or just relax with my child, I end up walking into what feels like a fully functioning coworking space. It’s no longer a café — it’s “Open Office 24/7.” Every table is taken by someone glued to a laptop for two, three, sometimes four hours. At this point I honestly feel like some of them should start paying rent.

I miss the atmosphere this place used to have — when you could actually find a table, enjoy the vibe, and connect with real people instead of feeling like you’re interrupting someone’s Zoom meeting.

Please consider making weekends laptop-free. No need for anything drastic — just give people who come here for the coffee, the warmth, and the community a chance to actually enjoy it without competing with a sea of glowing screens.

I love this café with all my heart. That’s exactly why it’s so sad to see it slowly turn into a tech hub instead of the cozy place it used to be.

I had the best blueberry scones there. Their matcha with macademic milk is also really good.
Atmosphere is vibrant.
Service is good; they aren't too chatty, just simple and very direct.

Usually love this place. All the baristas are super friendly and nice to chat with. I reliably get a great drink made well every time I come in (a few times a week). The other day there was someone I’d never seen working who threw off the whole vibe (an older woman maybe mid 40s). She seemed friendly enough with customers but was rushing and stressing while making my drink. She also seemed to snap at the other people working which was very tense and weird to see. I’m not sure if she thought they were moving too slowly or doing something incorrectly but it was way more disruptive to have someone so visibly frustrated than it would’ve been to wait another minute for a drink. The chaotic energy felt more suited to a starbucks or fast food spot than the cozy local coffeeshop I’m used to. Hoping she was just a trainee (and there’s always room to improve!) but, owning a business myself, I’m always happy to receive feedback and wanted to offer my own.

Really cute coffee shop but unfortunately the coffee taste isn’t consistent (same for matcha). I still end up going because it’s a 50/50 chance of having a nice cup or a burnt one 🥲. Overall workers are sweet and the shop is always clean and comfortable
