I loved my experience at Helicoptere so much that I was really looking forward to cafe Hélico! I…read moredidn't realize they had a terrasse on the summer, which was a nice surprise. You order inside at the café and they bring your order to your table. You can take a container of utensils, napkins and a jug of water with you. We ordered the blueberry turnover and blueberry chocolate croissant with coffees to start. Coffee was great and the pastries were excellent. The blueberry turnover was flaky and the croissant had a generous portion of filling! As main dishes we ordered the melon soup, the zucchini salad, the porchetta sandwich, the BLT toast off the lunch menu. The highlight dish for me was the zucchini salad. It was dressed in this aioli type of vinagrette and the dollops of ricotta make the Zucchini so silky and delicious. It was just the perfect dish for lunch on the terrasse un the sun! The porchetta sandwich was my second favorite, it was buttery, herby and the chunks of porchetta were well seasoned. Desserts were awesome! The ice cream sandwich is a must order! The chocolate chiffon cake was very good but it's simple. All the dishes have many layers to them and I thought the chiffon cake would too. Fantastic lunch at cafe Hélico! just like Helicoptère, it is absolutely worth the trip to Hochelega!

That said, I think the sandwich could use a little refinement. The butter came through quite salty, while the pickled vegetables added enough moisture to make the bread a bit soggy, which ended up muting some of the other flavors. With a better balance of ingredients and texture, this could be a much stronger bánh mì. Overall, generous portions and some promising flavors - La Cave is worth a stop.

The Bakery/tea room is located near the Marché de Maisonneuve in a lively sector, the decor is very cute and if unlike me you're a fan of pink then you'll enjoy it even more. They have a huge variety of pastries, I hesitated a good three minutes as they all looked so delicious, I finally opted for a grapefruit pastry, the texture was so soft and tasty! My kids opted for a cream puff pastry filled with chocolate as well as croissants. The staff was very friendly and even engaged in conversations with my kids (I do have to admit that they're the talkative kind lol). If you're in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve go and have one of their desserts you won't regret it!

There is street parking available if you are driving. They speak both English and French. The barista was very knowledgeable and kind. We tried the lavender latte (seasonal drink), hot matcha latte (always available on their menu), iced matcha lemonade (seasonal drink), and a croissant. The lavender latte was delicious and if it didnt already have two shots of espresso, I would have gotten another one. Both the matcha latte and matcha lemonade were made with premium ceremonial grade matcha. We watched them prepare the matcha with a whisk, and they definitely didn't cheap out on the matcha. The croissant was a reasonable price (~$3) and it was flaky and airy. The overall vibe is 10/10 with both seating indoor and outdoor. They have four individual seats available with side tables, four tables for groups, and a long co-working table for up to 10 people. Spacious with a good amount of seating!
