Almost every nook and corner was instagrammable and gave off vintage vibes. We ordered the croissant, ginseng latte and a Cortado. The croissant was good but it would have helped if they had warmed it up for us. The Cortado was nice and strong and gave the kick to survive the rest of the evening. The ginseng latte was out of this world. It kind of tasted like a birthday cake in a cup with just the right amount of sweetness. The service was a bit chaotic though since there was a bit of the rush, but regardless, we had a great experience and loved the aesthetics of this cafe. 10/10 recommend.

I was very happy to walk in and see that they had vegan options and that the special could also be made with the vegan soft serve! They have plenty of other unique flavours for the regular scoops and sorbets. ( and by regular I mean made with dairy) I did need up trying the lemon pie and chai flavoured ice creams which were all really good. My only issue here was with service, we did order in English which may have lead to some confusing however we had asked if the vegan soft serve could be dipped into the chocolate coatings and were told yes. We unfortunately were served regular ice cream instead and when asked if it was vegan we were told no and that it would take a while Ri be able to make vegan ice cream. However afterwards when It was my turn to order I ordered in French and was given the vegan ice cream with absolutely no delay. If you do come here be sure to double check when ordering or asking for something in English

We went for a coffee, cappuccino, veggie omelette bowl and an apple walnut salad. They, unfortunately, ran out of walnuts, so it was substituted by pecans. Everything was great.

There is street parking outside and a parking lot across the street. Definitely recommended!

For baked goods, tried the pineapple coconut muffin - sweet, sticky goodness; blueberry scone - more muffin / cake like than I generally like, but still tasty; walnut cinnamon crumb cake - excellent.

This blend rivals anything I've ever gotten from the major retailers. Service was friendly and helpful. Plenty of seating inside. This is well worth coming into town before heading to Vermont or Canada.

The minute you walk in, the aroma of all the desserts (some German-made) overtakes your nasal passages. You are then greeted by a staff member who actually looks like they want to be there. The greeting is kept simple & you're free to wander around and gape over all the lovely treats they offer aka: no overwhelming "Can I help you?". Their pretzels (offered in many flavors) and cookies are baked to perfection. Doughy, crispy and sweet. Oh & their homemade "Pretzel Chips" were a lot of fun to try! Whether you live in the East End or not, it's worth the trip!

These two visionary traders will have their first experiences in importing and roasting coffee. Passionate about this hot drink that awakens the senses, they will unknowingly become true pioneers of the Montreal coffee scene! At the time, it would first be the religious communities and institutions neighboring the Mile-End district and Little Italy that would be the first to trust them. Little by little, the smell of freshly roasted coffee will attract passers-by and neighbors curious to taste their flagship product: Le Café Brossard. Their mission at the time: To offer quality coffee, freshly roasted and sold at a fair price. It is thanks to this premise that they quickly win the hearts of the neighborhood, and also that of a clientele that increasingly exceeds the limits of their neighborhood.

I recently discovered La Bonne Humeur. A cute and delightful restaurant on a mainly residential strip of Bellechase. Open for breakfast and lunch, the food that they serve is both delicious and hearty. Which is a very good thing as the weather turns cold. Traditional food such as Sausages, Liver and Ham steak are on the menu which is supplemented by a daily special which changes as you would expect, daily. Alain and Gilles Cauvier are the two brothers who run the place. Alain handles breakfasts and Gilles handles lunch. The meals are extremely affordable and delicious as well. On a recent visit I ate a stuffed meatloaf with a tomato sauce, mashed potatoes and steamed carrots that was $9 and came with a cream of mushroom soup to start with and upsidedown fruit cake for dessert.
