Atmosphere -1 because they have a lot of flies/fruit flies and it was a bit annoying
Service was great, employees were wonderful.
Pastries look good but didn't try.
Friend loved his grilled cheese and it did taste good! Presentation, meh.
Avocado toast is where you lost me. Small toast. Avocado wasn't spread and fell off the toast. Barely any red onions! No egg? And the salmon didn't taste entirely fresh. Super disappointed for the price, because I can make a better one at home. And I have also seen better elsewhere. Presentation not so great.
I am not closed to returning and trying other stuff. It was a very cute location and the staff was nice. The pastrie did look nice as well.
The staff is extremely confused…. The table was all sticky. I told one of the staff it was sticky and asked her for a rag so I could wipe it down. She showed up with a dry rag to just pick up crumbs… Ordered a chaï, but a hibiscus tea was brought. The waitress took it back and came back with the proper tea but forgot to put water in the tea kettle… The Avocado toast was very bad. Stale bread, hard unripe avocado. Only ate half. Coffee was okay. Will not be going back, the only thing they got going is that it’s a cute location.

Let’s start with the bad the coffee is horrible for a place like this. Please invest into some better coffee or train your barista to give out coffee that’s not burning hot like at McDonald’s. Now for the rest the desserts are tasty.

Cute cafe! We ordered the Bagel MTL (lox bagel) and coffees. The coffee was fine, bagels were delicious. Very kind and friendly people. Beautiful outdoor seating area, and clean inside, so you can’t go wrong.

The place has a nice ambiance, but the service leaves much to be desired. It took over 20 minutes just to get a latte. The staff seemed disorganized, with one of them visibly confused about the orders. Although there were more employees present, they were each focused on their own tasks, without paying attention to the customers. Overall, it didn't feel like a welcoming experience.
Sadly every time I come here it’s 10-15 minutes just to order, and another 20 minutes for the food. Today 3 people in line and 12 minutes to order. The person who takes orders , also delivers food and prepares food. Everyone in line is frustrated as hell. Easily the most disorganized restaurant I have ever experienced.

Very good spot discovered by chance! I recommend the shakshuka and especially the strawberry ?? it feels like eating ice cream ? The waitress has a southern French accent, very nice and helpful! I will come back for sure!

Nice cafe but the service is not up to par. You have to wait 30 minutes for a coffee… and I had paid for a takeaway dessert which they never gave me.

The sweet heart of Westmount
If K. insisted on seeing me this Friday at Café Bazin without having freshened up or changed, it was because there must have been one or more very serious subjects to discuss. She was waiting for me there, Bible in hand, eyes half-closed, wearing a pink shirt, in complete contrast to the retired and professional clientele who frequented the place. I greet her without sitting down, because before getting into the agenda, I had another matter to deal with: that of the menu. I open the door and discover a beautiful space in keeping with the heavy, refined ornamental trend: white and wood. I return with the lunch and dinner menu in hand, she chooses the Bazin breakfast at $13.50. I take note of it and come back with a bill for the Bazin breakfast and… the grilled cheese sandwich ($14.50), the Parisienne gnocchi ($21.00), a matcha and chocolate latte white ($6.75) and two pastries to reserve for later ($6.50 each). Faced with his disbelief, I justified myself: “It’s supposed to be a very good restaurant.”
The number 18 placed in plain sight in front of us, we get down to (more) serious things and the table is set with an anxiety-inducing request: “promise me you won't get angry”. Thunder ! What could possibly make me angry? It can only be something pretty terrible, thank you.
" When is your birthday ? »
I burst out laughing and she, confused:
“Me, if my friends forget my birthday, I get angry.” Okay, so I'll try not to forget. By the way, what date is it again?
I will ignore the other two subjects which, due to their sensitive nature, should in no way appear in a gastronomic story on the internet, and move directly to the appreciation of the dishes. Overall, these are simple preparations, but well executed. The sandwich contained melting cheese between two thick, crispy slices of toasted butter. Parisian-style gnocchi, unlike their Italian counterpart made from potatoes, are wheat-based and pan-fried, with pieces of bacon, zucchini and sprinkled with cheese. I seem to like the melting flesh of the Italian version more. Finally, the Bazin breakfast was traditional, but traditional well done and above all, affordable.
Personally, it was the pastries that seemed sensational to me, starting with the small round pistachio cake topped with rich cream, then the sesame cake whose taste was as pleasant as its appearance. This is where the Bazin café showed all its know-how.
However, my stay would not have been as pleasant, had it not been for the employee behind the counter, kind, attentive, cheerful, who was even kind enough to bring us a bag to put our leftovers in while we She wasn't required to. Taking advantage of his arrival, I greeted his affability by indicating that I would like to return to the establishment to enjoy other desserts. To which she replied that, on that eventual day, she would take care of serving us herself and that, if she were not to be present, that she would have to ask her boss to telephone her and "have the girl who smiles." I neglected to ask his name, but it might be helpful to mention his Asian ancestry so you can identify him in one of my photos. If you see it, you will understand what good service is.
In short, Café Bazin offers a welcoming setting for your formal and informal meetings and a quality culinary experience and, even when the sun is at its peak, you can find yourself perfectly in the shade on the terrace. I would have no problem bringing someone visiting Montreal to immerse themselves in the life of the Westmount neighborhood.
Vegetarian options: Avocado toast? French toast? A shakshuka? Finally, there are some good options.
Parking: I was lucky to find free parking on Burton Avenue. Otherwise, it can be complicated to find a paid place in Victoria.
Kid-friendliness: Yes! Bench seats and comfortable terrac
