Loved the Cortado - probably the best we've had in Montreal. Choco Chai was fine. Chocolate Babka and Vege-Pate Sandwich - loved it. Definitely try. The staff was nice. Can't say friendly. The guy seemed a bit distracted but hopefully everything was okay. Interiors are quite busy and a lot to see and notice. They have too many different kinds of seating, so pick your style. There's seating on the floor above as well as outside. There's street parking outside which might be difficult to find during the day. We went after 10 in the night so a few spots were there. Definitely try!

Honestly if I was a living in Montreal as a teen this would have been my spot. I ordered a double espresso and it was great actually, not that bitter but still gave you a kick up. It seems they also show movies every now and then. A perfect reason to come back!

We have been here a couple of times so far and every time we are so happy to have visited. Wonderful coffee and great cookies.

The owner enjoys chatting with his customers and you can tell he loves what he does! Great customer service and food!

Whether you're looking for a place to study, meet a friend, or simply relax to the sounds of their soft and sultry music, this café is the place to go. Come try it, love it, and repeat!

Just a few minutes walk from the Laurier station on the Orange line metro, we found this really cute cafe and although it's located on quite a busy street, just down the stairs basically beneath the street level, you'll be in this quaint, quiet retreat from the chaos that is just a few steps above you. The staff were so warm and welcoming and the iced latte was one of the best I had during our entire trip. My wife's matcha latte was also pretty good. Although we stuck with quite basic drinks, they also feature a number of really creative drinks as well if you're in the mood to experiment. This cafe is cozy and not only is it a great place for both espresso and matcha-based drinks, it's a great place to relax and catch up with friends or research your next move if you're visiting like we were. Highly recommended!

The cafe is tiny and feels cramped; there were five people at most inside and I felt claustrophobic! The chalkboard menu lists their offerings including coffee, soups, and sandwiches. The meals are all prepared in the tiny kitchen space in the back of the store daily and so, everything is fresh. They were making a squash soup when I walked in to order my coffee, and the smell was enveloping! I felt like i was at a friend's house watching them prepare dinner; very homey. I placed my order at the nonexistent counter and waited for my tall latte. The coffee, served in a biodegradable cup, was good although a little light for me. The service was friendly and quick, then again I didn't order any food. If I lived nearby, I can see myself stopping in for a bite or coffee on the outdoor space (banquet facing the street) but would feel cramped otherwise.
