The adorable macarons really caught our eye and were not disappointed with the flavors offered including Nutella, Oreo, strawberry cheesecake, matcha, and more. I so far have enjoyed the crème brûlée and Oreo and can't wait to the others when I get home. We also loved the mango shaved ice and found the small sizes to be perfect for single servings, especially for people who doesn't usually finish our sweets. The mango pieces were soft and fresh, made to taste sweeter with a drizzle of condensed milk. Small pieces of mochi contributed to elevating the texture even more. Overall, we had a wonderful time each visit and could see ourselves being able to relax and spend hours there. Staff were kind and tried their best to work as fast as they could. Lots of photos of their dogs are posted at the front and served as the reason for their name. Would love to come again the next time I'm here!

That's where our parents' proverb "Don't judge a book by its cover" comes into play. The inside of the establishment is clean, well-lit, spacious and welcoming. Cleanness and efficiency have obviously been the priority when setting up the seating spaces. I'd like to congratulate this establishment for having such excellent, friendly and efficient service. I've never waited more than 2 minutes for my order. I've never had such friendly conversations with cashiers either. This is the first time in my life that the friendliness and warmth of baristas is sufficient enough to make me want to go back to a coffee shop. Laughs and smiles, joyful attitude, etc. By now, I'm sure everyone's thinking: "Alright we get it, you want to marry the cashiers. But what about the food man? Get to it." Well, the thing is, I despise coffee. This is one of the very few establishments where I'll drink coffee. The cupcakes are heaven and the cakes are mouthwateringly good. Seriously my dear readers, forget Starbucks, Cafe Depot, Second Cup, etc. This place is amazing. They even have specials such as 1 cup of coffee and 1 chocolatine for 3$. 3$ guys. That's insane... 2.50$ if you want a croissants instead of the chocolatine. [Insert spam of heart emojis] In my white girl friends' words: "I can't even... like O-M-G, I JUST CAN'T EVEN. I can't. Oooooh my god." I'm a University student that was born in a ghetto of Eastern Europe. That means I'll keep searching for the best bang-for-my-buck until I give out my last breath. This here, is an amazing place. They don't have the variety other coffee shops do but they excel at what they do. P.S. This review is to describes Desserts ETC and not "Don Taco", a Mexican food establishment with whom they physically share the space. I have a separate review for them. P.P.S. There is WiFi. You need to ask for the password though.

Every location I went to was full but the line goes by quickly. This specific location is in old Montreal so if you're doing sightseeing it's a great spot to chill. The cafe crema is insane. The texture and flavor of this is something I've never had before. The coffee flavor is strong but not offensively strong. Even if you're not a fan of coffee I'd still suggest you try it. The affogato was lovely with the espresso and gelato mixing it creates that lovely icy texture on the outside. It is more pricey so I'd say the safe crema is the way to go.

Panic mode. Thankfully, this place saved the day with its warm and inviting ambiance. We grabbed coffees and croissants, and the owner was quick and efficient, getting us sorted in no time. Even at that ungodly hour, there were already two locals and a dog chatting with the patron--always a good sign of a neighborhood favorite. Can't complain at all. I'm in Vieux Montreal for a few more days and will definitely be back.

There was only a counter, no space for tables or seats, but nicely decorated with Palestinan colours. The compact menu basically offered three types of knafeh: the Nablusi, with semolina; the vermicelli, with kataifi; and the madlouka, with eshta and nuts. I decided on the Nabulsi, and was given a 10 min waiting time (it was more like 15 min). Then I was handed a piping hot round of perfectly golden knafeh, topped with crushed pistachios. I left the store and quickly looked around for anywhere to sit. The knafeh smelled like warm sugar syrup and rich ghee, the pastry yielding under my spoon, dragging a lovely stretch of cheese. The melting goodness threatened to burn my mouth, but stopping would mean letting the knafeh cool down, and you do not let knafeh cool down! Absolutely delicious, definitely the best one I've had downtown Montreal. The quality ghee used really seals the deal. Note: this is an express location for take-out only. Knafé Stop has other locations in Montréal!
