I went for brunch with my friends and it was so delicious. Our server Lindsey was so sweet and charming. Even though it was busy we were sat really quick and the food also came out really fast. My gay friend loved all of the music they played. Thanks Lindsey so such a fun experience and service ! Me and your friends wish u the best with your masters!

I wish i had taken a photo of my plate. Overpriced for the quality Overpriced for the quantity We reserved for 6, they gave us a table for 4 and added 2 chairs making it crowded and uncomfortable. The service was only in english. Overall its a falling star, falsely hyped right now with not much to justify the hype.

Have been here for breakfast on a weekday. Beautiful decor, interesting breakfast options however service was slow as apparently they only had one server early in the morning. This can be unfavorable if you are on a tight schedule. However staff was polite and helpful. Music was a bit too loud for a breakfast place. Food was great, portion was good.

They charge a management fee, THEN taxes on that management fee, for e-gift cards purchased online! Will HAPPILY go to one of the other dozens of quality coffee shops that sell gift cards without management fees (I buy them regularly for work gifts). It's just gouging at a place that's already mid... Try Melk a block over instead.

A really lovely café with a warm and inviting feel. The aesthetic is beautiful, the croissants are buttery and perfectly baked, I love their pancakes and the staff are extremely friendly.

Went in for a coffee. It was absolutely watered down. I threw it out after a couple sips. It was the worst coffee I've had in Montreal.

My family of three went for Brunch on Easter Sunday. It was very busy and were glad that we had reservations. The host ended up being our server as well and sat us without a beverage menu. We had to get up and get our own. He must have forgotten about us because after 15 minutes he finally came over to ask us our orders. I watched our drinks sit at the counter for about 10 minutes before he brought them to us. Our food did come relatively quickly but the poached eggs were hard boiled and the pancakes were lukewarm as well as my daughter’s hot chocolate. Overall, I was disappointed and would only recommend this location for the fake, dusty trees your camera phone won’t capture and to only go during off times.

Love this place. Stopped in to work while travelling on business. I ordered a latte and the Marguez. It was unbelievably tasty. I was expecting more of a diner type food, but this was 3 notches above that!. Awesome stuff!

Love the atmosphere, food is ok pricey for what you are getting according to me. The service is below 3. To have gone 3 times in different moment of the year it was terrible the 3 times. I know that if I go there I'll have to be really patient to get the order taken and brang ... 1h15 total would be minimum average to get your order taken and get your food. If you are lucky ... As even a coffee can take 30 min to get. Once we only order humus platter it took over 30 min ... 👀 You often feel forgotten by the waitress/waiters. So overall it's good spot if you are not in a rush ... Food is ok.

Great decor, friendly service. Coffee was just ok. My pancakes weren't great, and one was burnt. She thought her eggs were good, salad was fresh. There were areas that definitely needed dusting. Decent spot but wouldn't go out of my way.
