The staff is top notch with a tone of coffee knowlege, really friendly, and had lots of recomendations. The layout is unlike most coffee places with a large coffee bar that wraps around itself, leanding itself to easy conversations with either other customers or staff. It is also set up in a way that you can have space to yourself as well without feeling inclined to chat so either way it is nice. The warp around couch is also pretty comfy and would work well with groups. The coffee itself is clean rich and complex. We got a cordato with the recomendation from the staff. It was creamy and hit the spot. Overall a great place for some coffee.

We got an oat milk Cortado the first time, and liked it so much we got it again the next time. The atmosphere is quite unique, it feels like it would be a cooking class. There is a big couch for group seating or to share with others, and plenty of seating around the big counter in the middle of the room. Very convenient in the heart of the neighborhood.

The staff was welcoming but definitely left you to explore and wander the store. It also houses a cool little cafe with bread and pastries from L' Amour au Pain. The latte was really good. Sorry, no drip brewed coffee for any Americans out there. I believe they make sandwiches and salads for a quick no fuss lunch. Ok, now the part I've been hesitant on whether I should share because I want it to be my own little piece of urban paradise. I figured in the end, it is not mine to keep and I would be doing the business owners a disservice by not helping them attract more clients to them. This place should be shared with anyone willing to explore the hidden treasures of the City. Most tourists would not come into a home furnishings place, but trust me. You want to at least grab a coffee and follow me. My absolute favorite part is their little shaded "terrasse" ally. If you ever need a little hideaway when you are in Old Port. It's the perfect place. I feel like I've been transported to a different time and place. Nothing fancy, just tranquil, a simple elegance that the French are synonymous with. I wonder if the manager would kick me out if I curled up with a book one day.

After much deliberation, I settled on Le Butterblume, which checked all of the necessary boxes both at a glance and IRL. The vibes, service, and food were all top-notch, leaving us satisfied in body and mind. We came here at around 2pm on a Sunday as a party of three. My partner and I were meeting up with my partner's friend, who is from Montreal and used to live in the area. He told us that 2pm happens to be a good time to come here, because there can often be a line out the door during prime brunch hours. Though it was pretty full when we arrived, they were still able to seat us immediately. Overall, there's great energy here. Bright and lively, trendy while still being down to earth. The vibes and menu both strike a great balance between approachable and refined. I should say that my partner and I are American and had not explored the Montreal dining scene prior to this point, so it's possible that some of the menu offerings are fairly standard here. That said, for us, some of the preparations seemed super unique, and creative -- not wholly unfamiliar but also unlike anything we had tried previously. We started out with the Cantaloupe, feta, lime, chili & cilantro, which happened to be one of the more familiar menu items for us. It hit the spot on such a hot day, refreshing while still being interesting and varied. I then had the Heirloom tomato salad w/ confit eggplant, fried jalapeño, sour cherry & jalapeño vinaigrette, parmesan, red cabbage sprouts for my main course, which was unbelievably delicious. Super fresh, perfectly executed, so much variety within one dish but not in an overcomplicated way. The confit eggplant in particular was just outstanding. Though I did not try either dish, my partner got the leek, cheddar & bacon cake, scrambled eggs, lemon & confit garlic sour cream, zaatar crumble, herbs while his friend got what he called the "signature" brunch dish here, which is the French toast with blueberries and almonds, lemon and white chocolate chantilly, thyme maple syrup, graham (homemade!), blueberries from QC!, roasted almonds. Highest marks from both of them as well. I mentioned it briefly at the beginning but the service here was also great. Everyone we interacted with here was kind, welcoming, and personable, and the meal itself went efficiently.

They had a single origin Colombian bean on espresso today, which made for wonderful latte and cappuccinos for us. They also rotate a Tanzanian blend on espresso, which according to the barista, is slightly weaker in milk-based drinks, which makes sense. They also source a decently strong matcha, which our daughter enjoyed as a latte, but might be better straight, without milk, to really taste the pure tea. Also, the Cinnamon roll was delicious. For fun: they have several different sizes to-go cups for different espresso drinks. I've rarely seen this. The latte paper cup is larger than the cappuccino paper cup! Love the attention to detail, even if it's just for aesthetic purposes!

Pista seems to function like a very modern business. They carry many interesting products, such as natural wines, and from lesser known regions (Slovakia!). Service was quick and kind.

The expansive space with plentiful seating+tables makes it seem like a great option to work in.
