This café is disappointing. No teas, chai latte or anything non-coffee based besides a hot chocolate. Fair enough since it's a 'café'. But the way it was communicated by the staff felt arrogant. The hot chocolate wasn't good too. Also no cocoa powder for your cappuccino, they like to keep it real simple, and standard. Cold ambiance overall.

They only had coffee and hot chocolate, they didn't have teas, chai lattes, matcha's or the infusions that were listed on the menu, so I ended up ordering a hot chocolate that wasn't that good. Service was ok, the music was so low that you couldn't hear it so it was a really awkward atmosphere.

Great decor. Nice people behind the counter. Unpretentious while still being cool.

It’s a small cafe with chic and cozy interior design. I’m not sure if I visited during less busy hours, but it was very quiet and seemed to be a good spot for a chat with friends. Their cappuccino was delicious, and the price was reasonable.

We have a new winner for the Worst Espresso in Montreal award. Bonus points for the exorbitant $4 + charge. This was basically horrible, bitter, lukewarm coffee in a tiny cup.

Hello. I sincerely hope that this is seen by the BOSS or MANAGER.My intention is not to complain for its own sake but I actually want to HELP. Your coffee is delicious...and I have visited your store around a dozen times and I have always had a great experience!!Yesterday was just so ridiculous that I need to leave this review, and I hope that you can talk to said staff and remedy the situation. You have a standard (intended) to uphold and I want your venture to keep succeeding...so...Here goes:Yesterday (Saturday the 20th of January at 1 pm approx.) I walk into your coffee shop. It is basically EMPTY. There were two people sitting down and a man just finishing paying for his order up front...he proceeded to go to the washroom as the barista started making his drinks.There are TWO baristas.I come up to the cash, smile on my face, good mood etc. AND WAIT.Neither of them looked at me, acknowledged me, said anything like "hey, we 'll be with you in a bit", no friendly nod, NOTHING.I am SERIOUS. At first it was fine cause they were bantering between each other and I thought that's ok obviously but this lasted around 5 MINUTES. Listen. I know it is hard to imagine but it actually happened. I'm just standing there. TWO BARISTAS. One , literally not doing anything, the other preparing the other guy's drink. Guy in the bathroom, a long time, might I add , but i digress :PI just stood there without a hello or welcome or "how are you".Honestly, it was kind of dystopian at one point.A human. being , in THEIR STORE, standing there, about to pay 14$ (after tip) for their coffee , and these girls are talking about"Oh wait till you hear my stories later""im ordering this and the other on Amazon""Oh i have other houses they can ship to"What on the holy earth????I am 36, and have had various restaurant and barista jobs. I WOULD NEVER dream of treating a customer like that. While the story is empty, too!!!After she made my coffee, (no "oh sorry about that, thanks for waiting"). I was disappointed to see that she poured BOTH our coffees only 3/4 of the way and the foam was not properly mixed with the milk. It was separating (milk too hot). This is obviously the first time this happens at your store (usually it is top notch). But honestly , I was so shocked at their disrespectful behaviour that i just left. I already waited longer than I should have (there was no lineup!!! no one in front of me).I still left 15% tip when I paid because I am not a scum of the earth that do not tip. I know these people work for their tips....PLEASE RECTIFY THIS ISSUE WITH YOUR STAFF IS WAS REDONKSHOW RESPECT AND FRIENDLINESS TO PEOPLE PAYING THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR COFFEE.I want service like that I'll go to TimsThank you for your time reading thisNamaste and God Bless

Great place to hang out and put in a bit of work. Its a nice cafe with good seating and I really like the cafe there! I usually go for the espresso but I’ve ordered the cappuccino and Latte, and it came out amazing!Great cafe in the westmount/sherbrooke area and I’m glad I live around it.

I got there almost at closing time. The batista was really nice and really informative because I tried Cortado for the first, and she explained what it was. It was a nice little cozy café.

I would recommend avoiding this place. There's significantly better options very close by. Today I came in, the barista was complaining very loudly about how cheap the residents of ndg/Westmount were because they "don't tip as much". Meanwhile he served me the worst espresso I've had at the standard. Si vous vous plaignez du fait que les gens sont "cheap", vérifiez d'abord vous-même et la qualité de votre service et de vos produits, monsieur. I couldn't drink the espresso it tasted so bad.

Horrible coffee; what a disappointment, the Myriad founder who was a pioneer has cut sooo many corners for material reasons The barista was a young person who looked hungover, she didn't know where the coffee was from, or if it was a blend. The coffee tasted bad, nothing like a specialty coffee shop, it's at best like your regular cheap coffee (I am an advanced barista with a Slayer machine at home and tour some of the best specialty coffee shops in world)

I'm officially done! And I know for a fact so are a few other people. You can't charge this much money for coffee and have LEAKING LIDS. Every single time I get A To go coffee, it spills all over my hand. I spend about four bucks a day with you guys 5 days a week. My business alone should afford you better cups and better lids. But you've lost it. Off to Starbucks this is a joke.
