This clean cafe in downtown Montreal gets busy, but I usually manage to find a seat. The last time I visited, the temperature inside was a bit high, but overall, the experience was good and the staff was friendly. One thing that disappointed me was the cold peach tea; it tasted way too blended. I hope their other menu items are better.

We had such a wonderful experience, thanks to Louise! She was incredibly helpful, attentive, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable—whether it was guiding us with directions or assisting us with anything we needed. She also made one of the best matcha drinks I’ve ever had! What truly stood out was her warm, welcoming attitude and constant beautiful smile. Exceptional service like hers really makes a difference. Highly recommend!

Bad cold coffee and super dirty milk and cream flask!!! Like the flask tips and top are literally broken and look very nasty! And they charge 3$ for a small filter coffee! Horrendous! Last time for us here, much better stick to Timmies

I paid my latte with tips included, the girl who made the coffee gave me a dirty cup with green things on top. I myself teach tea ceremony and know it may be matcha. BUT what I ordered was a cup of latte, not matcha tea; that is, the girl made my coffee in an used/ dirty cup which is universally unacceptable. However, when I pointed this out, her coworker, a young guy, kindly remade my coffee with excellent attitude. The time was around 6:45 PM, April 21, 2026.

the espresso we got, its grind size needs to be adjusted. Our drinks had grinds in it. The espresso in both our hot and iced drinks were bitter and strong. So we dumped out the drinks and left. The lights felt like we were in a hospital, it was so bright and direct. Had high hopes for this place but they fell short, and that poor pothos someone please take care of it. Its so leggy.

I like the aesthetic of this place, and the branding/logo. It also has really good coffee and sweets. We visited a few times during our 5 day stay in the city.

This store makes the kind of hot chocolate I like. Not too sweet.

Love the vibe and the staff but why do you serve your coffes in paper cups instead of porcelaine

my trip was great before i decided to stop by this coffee shop for some cheesecake and matcha latte. cheesecake was good, a bit too sweet for my liking but it was not bad. matcha latte was ok, tasted like watered-down and not made of quality matcha. felt like i was unwelcomed and looked down upon by server though, may or may not because i didn’t know french and didn’t know the name of the cheesecake i wanted to order. she tried to help which i was grateful for, but the whole interaction from the moment i stepped into the store was a bit unwelcoming. the seats and area looked dirty, table was not cleaned and had crumps everywhere. if you’re a tourist i wouldn’t recommend you to come here, try other cafe shops around the area first. unless you need a space to study/work, otherwise don’t waste your time here
