A very simple and fun activity to do with your partner or friends. We absolutely loved our candles. We also liked that we could also decorate and pick out our own sticker for it. We didn't get any drinks but if you are making candles, the drinks and food are 10% off. Definitely recommend booking online!

Being a fan of their ramen, when I read online that they were revamping it into a coffee shop, it was surely on my list! I finally took the time to go to the coffee shop during the holidays, which was empty but understandably, it being the holidays and in an area mostly filled with students..which I assume is the main clientele during peak hours. They only serve coffee using the V60 hand drip coffee method, which is fine by me! I do wonder what the wait time is when the coffee shop is filled though. We ordered two coffees and two onigiris. The coffee beans are from a local roaster, and teas from Camelia Sinensis. There were four different kinds of onigiris, and a few pastries. I have to say I was disappointed the pastries were not Japanese influenced, and that the onigiris were underwhelming and honestly on the pricey side for onigiris. I will surely come back to try the more substantial meal options when they are available and for the coffee, which was great.

Just a few minutes walk from the Laurier station on the Orange line metro, we found this really cute cafe and although it's located on quite a busy street, just down the stairs basically beneath the street level, you'll be in this quaint, quiet retreat from the chaos that is just a few steps above you. The staff were so warm and welcoming and the iced latte was one of the best I had during our entire trip. My wife's matcha latte was also pretty good. Although we stuck with quite basic drinks, they also feature a number of really creative drinks as well if you're in the mood to experiment. This cafe is cozy and not only is it a great place for both espresso and matcha-based drinks, it's a great place to relax and catch up with friends or research your next move if you're visiting like we were. Highly recommended!

Café des Habitudes is a super cute and cozy café located just north of Mile Ex and Little Italy…read moreNeighborhoods. I first discovered it while searching for caneles, since many reviews praised them as some of the best in Montreal. Ordering online was easy -- you can select your pickup date and time -- and that's how my partner and I ended up here. The space itself is inviting and warm. There are plenty of couches, tables, and cozy seating nooks, plus a fun loft/bunk bed setup with cushions where you can climb up, relax, and read or work. There's also a side door that opens onto a small patio with a few outdoor tables, perfect for letting in the breeze on a nice day. We picked up our caneles, which came in flavors like chocolate peanut butter, pistachio, and raspberry. Each was fresh, rich, and delicious -- worth the hype. Service was equally warm and friendly, and the staff spoke English as well, which made ordering easy. In addition to pastries, the café serves coffee and tea, making it a great spot to study, work, or simply unwind with a good book. For cozy vibes, friendly service, and excellent canele, Café des Habitudes is absolutely worth a visit.

By the entrance, I even noticed several pairs of shoes on shoe rack, which made me curious. Once inside, I realized there's a section on the left where people remove their shoes to sit in a tatami-style seating area. There's also outdoor seating in the gardenwhere shoes are kept on, so you can choose whichever you prefer. The café is filled with plants, giving it a cozy and homey atmosphere. Many people were quietly working on laptops or chatting softly, which added to the calm vibe. I also learned that this is a vegan café, and they sell sandwiches and coffees, a few items like handmade candles and other small goods. It's a serene spot that I'd happily return to if I lived in the area--or visit again in the future.

My saffron affogato was served in a gorgeously detailed tea cup.

I've never had anything like it and it was so refreshing on a hot day. Not too sweet either!

Epic espresso-based drinks and you can make a special request for things not on the menu, like a matcha latte. Yes, they have oat milk! This place is brand new as of this summer, but they've got really amazing summertime infrastructure set up so I would imagine they will continue on through the fall, and re-open in the spring. there's plenty of shade, so you can feel cool sitting around, either on the patio out front overlooking the canal or outback in the sand filled volleyball court-like set up with picnic tables. Really great service, too. Hop on your bike (or a Bixi) and check 'em out! Not far from the Atwater market, so if you aren't a cyclist you can always just stroll on over.

Besides the food and drink options, the place also has a shopping area for your pets (e.g. treats, accessories, lick mats).

While researching for things to do in Montreal, I came upon Ruby Café, a dog friendly café! It is…read moreso rare for indoor eateries to allow dogs so we could not be more excited to bring our dog here. There is patio seating on site, but dogs are definitely welcome to sit and eat inside. My husband and I saw so many happy dogs with their owners inside Ruby Café, either laying on the floor or sitting on their owners' laps, while waiting for their own food. There were maybe 5 things on the menu for dogs, but that is plenty enough. We ordered our dog a dog beer, some meatballs, and a little pupcake. And for ourselves, from the human section of the menu, we ordered an iced coffee, a cappuccino, a grilled cheese sandwich, some toast with eggs and potatoes. Ruby Café is after all a café, so they do offer a wide variety of coffee and tea drinks. Overall, the human food was fine - nothing to write home about. But what made us the happiest was seeing our dog devouring his meal. Coming to Ruby Café was all for our dog, and we were so happy to see him enjoy a full lunch service. Lol. The service here was pretty good. The staff were all very nice. You can tell how much they love dogs. After lunch, we went over to the shop section of the café to check out their offerings. The shop was pretty well stocked with dog treats, dog toys, dog accessories, etc. We didn't end up buying anything unfortunately because we mostly get our dog stuff online.

The prices are like half the amount they charge at grocery stores Food: vegetables : Tons of Fresh cucumbers, lettuce , radishes eggplants, broccoli tons and tons of variety veggies for real decent prices ! 75cents for a large cucumber the shallots were like 50cents for 2 bunches it was amazing.. Fruits & other stuff: I find theyre a little bit overpriced and its possible they don't grow it at their farm but everything seemed very fresh The have a whole lot of plants and gardening stuff outside as well. Service: Was a bit rude and the cashiers didn't seem like they wanted to be there .. they were very hostile :/ However, their products are great quality at very competitive prices so it's definitely worth the drive if you're in the area if you don't mind being serviced by rude cashiers lol
