My folks live literally across the street from Westmount Park and the rec center and pool on its…read moresouthern side, so I've literally passed this cafe a gazillion times, every time I visit my parents (which is every two months, on average). I've seen this place packed in the summer, with its outdoor seating area, and busy with hockey moms in the winter, huddled inside with their hot coffees, waiting for their kids. It always looked cute, and seems popular, regardless of the season. But until recently, I've never been here, as there are many cafes that I love on Victoria, nearby. This past visit, though, the weather is bloody freezing (how on earth do you Montrealers handle this deep freeze? OMG), and I could barely handle crossing the street, let alone walk up to Victoria, so my mom and I decided to meet a family friend here mid-morning. My mom's been here quite a few times and warned me that the food here is inconsistent: she's had grilled cheese sandwiches that were good and some that were awful. So I was warned. But I only wanted a coffee, so I can't really review the food. The place is light and airy inside, with walls of glass facing the park, and an interior glass wall overlooking the downstairs hockey rink. The interior was super clean, and very bright. I had to keep my sunglasses on (!). I liked how they had a bookshelf to borrow books, and a sign about the free wifi, and healthy plants scattered about. We ordered two cappuccinos and my mom asked for a carrot muffin. She asked the guy at the counter if the muffin was fresh from today and he replied that it was. (She had told me that sometimes the muffins are stale, but if you ask the guys if they're fresh, they are always honest). We asked for the muffin heated up, and for my mom's cappuccino to be extra-hot. The coffees were EXCELLENT and my mom said her muffin was also fantastic and very fresh, but they didn't really heat it up much (bummer). So here's my overall take on this cafe: it's super cute, they offer a decent selection of great-looking pastries (just ask if they're fresh), they have lots of snack foods (i.e., bagged chips, etc.), and a healthy beverage menu (and the coffees are very good). Meal-wise, I personally would pass due to inconsistencies and past reviews from my parents and other people who I know dined here. But in a pinch, for a coffee or tea and muffin, this is a great place, in the corner of a lovely park. And the counter guy was rather nice, too.

At lunch time this place can have a line 20 people deep!…read more And yet, it's just OK, maybe OK+. I think its brisk business is more a product of its location, in an area with a number of office workers but very limited options for quick, reasonably priced food. The fare is your basic 3 S's: Sandwiches, Salads and Soups. They also have a few other things, which tend to vary by the day. They only have two soups a day, but the one I did have was good. They have a decent variety of salads, which tend to be on the good side as well. Their sandwiches, though, are their weak spot. Pretty much everything here is pre-made and thus not customizable and just not fresh tasting. If you get a panini they take it out of the display case and warm it on the press for awhile, resulting in a kind of dry, lukewarm sandwich. Also, very nearly every sandwich comes with mayo on it... yuck! I had breakfast here once, and I did customize...I requested no mayo and it took 15 minutes for a basic breakfast sandwich. Their prices are pretty reasonable for this area, and they have soup & salad combos, or you can get two salads with your sandwich, generally for under $10. The service here is mostly friendly and helpful. Which is good, since they don't really have a lunch menu board, and the salads aren't labelled, so you may very well need to ask questions. There's a good amount of seating inside, and they have an area outdoors when the weather is nice. Which reminds me, this place is hidden inside an office building. Walk into the front door of 8000 Decarie, then look for the signs for La Prep. You can also get in through the parking lot behind the building.

Fries resembled Mcdonalds fries so they weren't really appropriate for poutine. Very thin and long.

We asked for wine recommendations since the owner has a separate license for imports, and we were able to try a few which we would not have tried otherwise.
