Some people think that being a restaurant critic is one of the best jobs in the world. Get paid to eat? That, and then getting paid to travel… Plus, people love reading about you because you arouse their enthusiasm. You make their mouths water with promises of extraordinary new culinary experiences. If your notoriety gives you the authority to bring an establishment to glory, it also gives you the power to lead it to ruin.
This last point is perhaps less true now with the democratization of opinions on the internet. Everyone is invited to comment based on their perspective and these small fragments combined paint a fairly illuminating portrait of the restaurant, but which is unfortunately sometimes undermined by excess: whims, emotional impulsiveness, or simple exaggeration. For this reason, 5000 reviews on a restaurant will never replace an article written by an expert pen. In reality, they complement each other.
I am one of those laymen who write about the things they like without having a deep understanding of them. I am a drop of water in the ocean, a unique drop of water, certainly, but a drop of water all the same who writes these comments not to persuade with brilliance and pomp, but to add my two cents with humility, hoping to make a positive difference, however small, both for future customers and for restaurateurs. It is in this spirit that I would like to share my experience at Café Mustache.
For me, catering in the broad sense has a hospitable aspect and a warm welcome has a significant impact on my overall appreciation. We must be friendly, attentive, accommodating and available. Furthermore, the customer's curiosity must be encouraged and satisfied. Even at St-Hubert. Even at Tim Hortons. Even in a café that students regularly frequent. Even if barista is a job you do just to pay for your studies.
Before you alarm you, I'm not about to tell you that I was mistreated. However, the service lacked warmth, being limited to terse responses lacking enthusiasm. People's favorite café is not necessarily the one where the finest beans are sold, but often the one where you are received with the most beautiful smile. A modern and green decor is a pleasant addition. Comfortable benches and a peaceful atmosphere, lulled by classical music and whispered words, create a first-rate study space. Good matcha-white chocolate and oatmeal cookies and homemade banana bread soothe the cravings. However, what I will remember most vividly is the human dimension, including my bits of conversations with my dear friend K., but also with the staff.
More than a nutritious smoothie called “Emery’s Choice” at $7.85, – Who is Emery? - I have no idea. it’s a radiant smile received for free that can comfort you at the end of your day.
Thus, I made my criticism of the Mustache a plea for the greatness of the service. Obviously, greatness must be reciprocal... kindness cannot be demanded with fists on the counter. Beyond this reflection on the importance of human contact, I have also subtly addressed through the text some interesting features of the premises which I summarize here: the café is a beautiful, ideal space in which to work and study comfortably and serenely. In addition, the prices are reasonable and the snacks, very honest, are made on site. I therefore end this paragraph with the words of K.: “I would like to come and study here. That would motivate me. »

My favorite coffee, without hesitation! The atmosphere is super cozy, and the team is always there to make you feel comfortable with smiles and nice little words. The coffee is amazing! I tried their espresso and their latte, both are perfect! The aromas are intense, complex, but perfectly balanced. It’s not just a drink, it’s a moment of pure pleasure. And their pastries? Too good! I will definitely go back!

I judge coffee shops mainly from the quality of their espresso shots. It was bad. Like over extracted and watery. Maybe it’s just the barista that served me, but I probably will stop somewhere else next time Im in little italy, especially given the density of good coffee in the area.

Excellent service, warm welcome from the staff and the atmosphere is ideal for a good productive session accompanied by a good coffee!
The coffee is decent here. More coffee than milk in the iced latte that I ordered. The vibe is almost undefeated. Great for work or for dining, lounging, very versatile space and a patio outside as well. The service is great! I ordered the brioche cinnamon roll and i am not a fan, personally. Too soft, but cold and the icing wasn't sweet enough. It looked good but the taste wasn't that good.

Service is not good. Went twice for a coffee, it seems that the staff don’t want to serve you, they see you come in, no smile nor Bonjour, the wait is very long before someone takes your order even if there is only one person before you.
Nice little place to go have a coffee and chat 😊
