There's always people in this place, its not full but quite busy and a little noisy, get there early if you want a croissant because theyre actually worth it. The coffee is always on point no matter what milk you get in it. The service is always with a smile which is really nice if you've been having a shi.....crappy morning, I've always ever been here before noon I dont know what happens after that clock strikes 12 though so you'll have to look at the other reviews.

One of my favourite coffee shops in Montreal. The iced latte is amazing and staff is really friendly.

They have nice little affordable brunch plates and a lots of space in the back. They were also giving away free donuts. 🥹

Food and coffee are good, but I cannot recommend as a place to get some work or study done. Frequent deconnection from wifi and a max of 2 hours are too annoying. Plus the noise levels are a bit high.

If you want a truly life changing coffee, look no further. Literally the best coffee I’ve ever had! I will definitely return when I’m back in Montreal.

Great service and great coffee. The atmosphere was nice, cordial and relaxing. I shall have to return soon to share the experience with someone else. I recommend! Just returned for breakfast, the gravlax bagel and salad were very good. The macchiato was great.

Great neighborhood café in Beaubien with a warm atmosphere and friendly service. The Nuage Dam was the highlight of my visit—beautifully made, balanced, and definitely worth trying. The pastries and overall vibe make it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends. The only thing that wasn't quite to my taste was the black coffee, which I found a little more acidic than I prefer. That said, coffee preferences are very personal, and everything else made for a really enjoyable experience. I'd happily come back, especially for the Nuage Dam!

The barista at the front was so sweet today! They were so nice and friendly while taking my order, it was my first time here and def not my last. Thank you so much for properly melting the maple syrup into my ice oat latte, the drink was perfectly made

One of the finest cafes in Montreal. Coffee is superb, baristas unfailingly welcoming and kind, space beautiful, and atmosphere cozy and quiet. A good place to work on a laptop or to hang out with friends over coffee or for lunch. Food is also really good.

I ordered a vegan banana bread and it was partially raw in the middle. The tables are too low making it awkward to eat.

Always been a big fan of their avocado toast which I think is one of the best in MTL! Now my new obsession is Matcha Latte! Perfectly done for my taste. 👌👌

Stopped there after a walk. Their oat milk matcha & chai chia pudding were delicious.

It was pretty busy when we arrived and the food took about 30 mins to arrive. It’s also pretty hard to get a table at peak hours. The two matcha’s we ordered were very light and not as strong as we had hoped. Otherwise the bacon mushroom waffle was really unique and the avo toast was classic.

Had a hot chocolate here. I ordered the "longue" size expecting the usual little extra, but it turned out to be huge 😅 Really, that thing was like, a bucket. Not complaining, it was a nice surprise 😁 Very comforting and definitely filling.

Coffee is quite good, definitely the best around Saint Hubert without adventuring more into Little Italy.
