We ate here 3 different times for brunch/lunch. Enjoyed the giant croissants with jam & delicious lattes. Also had a tasty ham & cheese croissant. The smoked meat & cheese sandwiches were excellent.

Really like the atmosphere. Barrista adjed me what music I'd like to hear when I walked in the door & 10 seconds later Natalia Lafourcade was playing & stayed on the entire time I was there. So relaxing. I had the salted caramel latte. Really good

This place looked nice but we were disappointed about it. Overall it looks good & appealing but once stepped in the store doesn't seem properly clean & the bathrooms were in poor condition. We tried their muffins which did not stand up to Québec standards & didn't meet our expectations
I hope they try & improve in the future
Staff were really nice & helpful though

Pensé q me iba a encontrar un mejor café, pero no se fue el caso y además hecho a las apuradas tirando la leche sin un poco de amor. Lo único bueno es el local porque el resto es de baja calidad.

1st visit : Hands down, this is the best mocha & the best almond chocolate croissant that I've ever had. The mocha has actual melted chocolate 😋 Their hot chocolate is divine! Great atmosphere, busy place, lots of choice! Service is great. Kinda sad that they don't have a coffee shop in Montreal!

2nd visit : not the same mocha as I had the time before, mocha this time tastes like water unfortunately.

I used to enjoy the coffee here, but my last visit on March 26, 2026, was very disappointing. I ordered a salted caramel latte, & it was not tasty at all. My boyfriend had an espresso, which tasted burnt & overly bitter. Unfortunately, we couldn't even finish our drinks. It's a shame because this place used to be great, I hope they improve their quality again.

This is a a downtown location of a very popular Quebec city chain of cafés. A very nice atmosphere, but I had better expectations given all the hype. Had a maple latté that I found mediocre in taste & in presentation. Service was below average & baristas did not seem to be very interested.
