    When I saw the pictures online, I had high expectations about Standard. I was even exited to go and see "a huge high end black and gold decor, fancy coffee place". It was a big disappointment. You come in and the AC wasn't working. The place is tiny, with a coffee machine, and a vitrine with several kind of pastries, croissant , donuts and tarts. Standard doesn't do his own pastry. He gets them from other pastries like Hof kelsten and Trou de beigne . The place has a dirty floor. The tables are not clean. There is no service, you pick your coffee from the counter. Lets say this place is for a grab and go coffee shop. The latte I took was really good. The americano not very. The croissant nature was crunchy.

    Latte...

    The latte was very good, the croissant was just ok, the chocolate chip marshmallow cookie was amazing. The service was also amazing. The barista was nice and super patient with my six year old who kept asking questions! He also made an elephant design on my latte to amuse my son. All in all, will be going back for the coffee, the relaxing atmosphere and the service... but will be running back for that cookie

    Nice atmosphere and decent Soya cappuccino! Good for meetings and/or working/studying!

    One of my favourite places in Montreal, all categories included. I have gone out of my way and/or walked for 45 minutes just to come by for a coffee here. I've brought a lot of people here and everyone loved it. The baristas are great (especially Kento, James and Joe). They're all super nice and knowledgeable. I also like that they switch up their beans on a regular basis. Always something new to try. :-) The decor and ambience is on point too, looooove the herringbone flooring. The only bad thing is that there are no hooks (for purses and jackets/coats) in the bathroom. :-( Edited to add baristas' names

    I was lamenting the closing of a nearby 3rd wave café for a long time until I saw that renovations had begun just a block down on a 4TH WAVE shop called The Standard. What is 4th wave you might ask? According to the staff it's a marriage between specialty coffee, fashion, and art. Looking around at the array of filters, hardcore espresso puller, sleek black walls and trendy metallic accents, I believe it. I ordered an aeropress and it did not disappoint. They're only using premium beans. Their pastries looked awesome too- all from Hof Kelsten. I hear they usually carry Trou de Beigne too. We settled for a chocolate chip cookie and it was tasty. For your next Tinder date or sexy bff date or quick business meeting or what have you, I highly recommend. Just wear light clothes in the summer... doesn't seem like they've got any AC indoors.

    This coffee shop is so pretty. Yes i have a soft spot for nice decor, minimalism & plants. The standard has everything that i like, love that its not too big it gives it a cozy vibe. They also had vegan milks options that's amazing, but it can be pretty pricy but totally worth the splurge

    Just walked into this extremely attractive coffee shop on Sherbrooke in Westmount to grab an iced latte. It's upscale, prices are average. Extremely small selection of goodies to go with coffee so I didn't bother. They have a patio outside with four tables which is really good because the seating inside is extremely small. I'm not sure if I even bother coming here in the winter, I doubt there would be a seat available. Really pretty place, though.

    On point.

    Great little place; they made probably the best espresso I have ever had in Montreal. Tiny place though...seating is limited.

    First time visiting this place, but it's not new. In fact, it's been in the neighborhood for 5-6…read moreyears! Might be cause the storefront is not the most obvious as the bakery is quite small. The focal point of the bakery is of course, the counter. There is a paper ticket system for service on busier days. When I went in, it was quiet so ticket optional. We were greeted right away by friendly staff. When I asked for recommendations, Marie took me on a visual and descriptive tour highlighting some of their specialty products. I went for the seasonal maple roll dusted with icing sugar, topped with white chocolate chips and a maple crust. Also took a slice of pear almond tart. They were both $4.50 each. The maple roll was densely packed and so much more than a snack. It's really bready so you could have it for breakfast. Slightly sweet and covered in a light glaze. The tart was light tasting and the pastry was full of buttery goodness. Texture is a little bit interesting because it's a cold tart, the juice from the pears soak into the almond paste and make it a little bit cold and slightly mushy. Some people might not like that but I found it ok. Service is friendly and attentive. Pastries are good but a bit expensive.

    This is a very cute bakery and the pastries are fantastic. They are open for longer hours than most…read moreand you can generally see people doing work on their computers. Definitely have a clafoutis, I loved the pistachio. They also have really good coffee and sandwiches. The quiches are pretty good as well. I don't believe you could go wrong with anything you order. They make the bread daily on premises and use all organic ingredients.
