The coffee was good but the pastries (croissants & waffles) were so bad we did not eat them. Staff was friendly & atmosphere was fine.

I was looking for a'not so big' breakfast experience. Some nice coffee & a pastry, or something light, or European. This spot hit the nail on the head! So much so, we went back twice (& that's saying a lot, given all the available choices). We shared a lovely slice of quiche Lorraine & an awesome croissant while sipping some quality coffee (nothing fancy in this case - just straight up Americano - but it tasted great)! Very friendly staff, nice music, & great people-watching from the counter (this was the St-Jean location). Highly recommend!

Très déçue, j'ai attendu longtemps en file pour commander un latte matcha, pour me faire dire que vous n'avez plus de matcha (même pas pour la journée spécifique mais que vous n'arrivez plus à le commander). Pourquoi ne pas indiquer sur le menu que vous n'avez pas de matcha à offrir? Les clients voient sur votre menu que vous avez du matcha & sont prêts à attendre en file pour le commander. Sachant que c'est un breuvage populaire, c'est quelque chose à considérer. Aussi, il n'y a pas vraiment d'options végétaliennes, les gens avec des intolérances ou régimes végétaliens l'apprécieraient énormément s'il y en avait!

Merci

Excellent croissants. My mocha was not very hot & they told me they were unable to warm it up for me. I was a little disappointed in that, but it did taste good.

Walked by this cafe to order a coffee. Place looks nice & thought coffee would be great. Service was slow considering it wasn't busy & we didn't order anything complicated. First an Americano. Took 5-10 minutes & only 1 person ahead of us. Later I went & ordered a Latte - about 5 minutes too. & surprisingly both coffees were sort of cool… not sure how when it's made fresh. Flavour was good. Good roasted coffee but disappointed a bit. I know it's a chain. Maybe it's better in other locations.

It was a bit difficult to decide what to order since there were no English signs, but thankfully, the girl at the counter was very polite & helpful. Cake was good, the tea was good to

The place was really cute & bigger than what it looks in the pictures. My barista was a blue hair piercing they/them gay so that's when you know the coffee will be goood!!

They had good quality of coffee & dessert (definetly try the raspberry cheesecake). Like every other touristic area it was a bit over priced. At least the price was worth the quality of the products.
