Being a fan of their ramen, when I read online that they were revamping it into a coffee shop, it was surely on my list! I finally took the time to go to the coffee shop during the holidays, which was empty but understandably, it being the holidays and in an area mostly filled with students..which I assume is the main clientele during peak hours. They only serve coffee using the V60 hand drip coffee method, which is fine by me! I do wonder what the wait time is when the coffee shop is filled though. We ordered two coffees and two onigiris. The coffee beans are from a local roaster, and teas from Camelia Sinensis. There were four different kinds of onigiris, and a few pastries. I have to say I was disappointed the pastries were not Japanese influenced, and that the onigiris were underwhelming and honestly on the pricey side for onigiris. I will surely come back to try the more substantial meal options when they are available and for the coffee, which was great.

This was my second visit to this cat cafe. It's a favorite of my stepsister and stepmom's! The cats…read morehere aren't for adoption and some have been there for over a decade. There are tables throughout the cafe as well as some couches and you'll see cat toys and beds spread throughout. This time, I ordered the yogurt which came with granola, honey and jam. My breakfast was yummy as well as a Diet Coke. My dad ordered a grilled cheese panini with salad and vinaigrette which was also good, and my step mom ordered La Pèle-méle, a curry seasoned cauliflower dish with chickpeas vegetables and pecans which was the best in my opinion. My step sister ordered the banana pudding which she loves. Personally, I think the food is a little expensive for the quality, but my family and I are happy to come in and support this longstanding business that cares for their kitties. There's a little shop inside with cat toys, accessories and food, so you can pick up anything you might need for your furry friend at home. The cats are very well acclimated to humans and will sometimes jump onto tables nearby you. They're friendly but most are very calm. Note that one of the rules is to not disturb any that are sleeping. Definitely stop by, give out some pets, and sign their visitor book at the front!

Epic espresso-based drinks and you can make a special request for things not on the menu, like a matcha latte. Yes, they have oat milk! This place is brand new as of this summer, but they've got really amazing summertime infrastructure set up so I would imagine they will continue on through the fall, and re-open in the spring. there's plenty of shade, so you can feel cool sitting around, either on the patio out front overlooking the canal or outback in the sand filled volleyball court-like set up with picnic tables. Really great service, too. Hop on your bike (or a Bixi) and check 'em out! Not far from the Atwater market, so if you aren't a cyclist you can always just stroll on over.

Café des Habitudes is a super cute and cozy café located just north of Mile Ex and Little Italy…read moreNeighborhoods. I first discovered it while searching for caneles, since many reviews praised them as some of the best in Montreal. Ordering online was easy -- you can select your pickup date and time -- and that's how my partner and I ended up here. The space itself is inviting and warm. There are plenty of couches, tables, and cozy seating nooks, plus a fun loft/bunk bed setup with cushions where you can climb up, relax, and read or work. There's also a side door that opens onto a small patio with a few outdoor tables, perfect for letting in the breeze on a nice day. We picked up our caneles, which came in flavors like chocolate peanut butter, pistachio, and raspberry. Each was fresh, rich, and delicious -- worth the hype. Service was equally warm and friendly, and the staff spoke English as well, which made ordering easy. In addition to pastries, the café serves coffee and tea, making it a great spot to study, work, or simply unwind with a good book. For cozy vibes, friendly service, and excellent canele, Café des Habitudes is absolutely worth a visit.

By the entrance, I even noticed several pairs of shoes on shoe rack, which made me curious. Once inside, I realized there's a section on the left where people remove their shoes to sit in a tatami-style seating area. There's also outdoor seating in the gardenwhere shoes are kept on, so you can choose whichever you prefer. The café is filled with plants, giving it a cozy and homey atmosphere. Many people were quietly working on laptops or chatting softly, which added to the calm vibe. I also learned that this is a vegan café, and they sell sandwiches and coffees, a few items like handmade candles and other small goods. It's a serene spot that I'd happily return to if I lived in the area--or visit again in the future.
