I visited this place twice. On my first trip, I went late in the afternoon, & it was surprisingly quiet. I was hoping to find something sweet, but most of the desserts were already gone, so I didn't get anything. The last four pictures & video are from my first visit.

I returned the next day for breakfast. As I expected, it was quite busy. So, be ready for that! There are limited indoor & outdoor seating options. I got the cinnamon roll & an almond croissant, & both were delicious.

Très bonnes boissons, tant chaudes que froides.

Très bon rapport qualité-prix sur la viennoiserie, en particulier l'énorme croissant. Dans un contexte nord-americain, je dirais que la qualité du croissant m'était correcte.

Un peu à l'étroit.

Déçu par mon expérience. J'ai commandé un croissant & un cinnamon roll un samedi matin, mais les deux semblaient dater de la veille. Les viennoiseries étaient sèches & manquaient clairement de fraîcheur. En tant que Français habitué aux boulangeries où les produits sont préparés du jour, cela m'a surpris. J'aurais préféré que l'on m'indique qu'ils n'étaient pas frais plutôt que de me les vendre comme tels. Dommage, car le café était agréable.

Je suis une cliente régulière. Je suis toutefois très déçue qu'un supplément soit désormais exigé pour la substitution de lait pour des boissons végétales, surtout considérant que les coûts des cafés/boissons sont déjà assez élevés.

This cafe makes great coffee as it's hard to find good coffee in Canada coming from Australia, their coffee tastes great, they also have a Vegan cookies. Can get busy in the morning.

We thoroughly enjoyed 2 breakfasts here.  My husband enjoyed the chocolate almond pastry along with some delicious hot chocolate.  I had great breakfasts with an apple crumb pastry, a pecan maple muffin & a small cranberry orange loaf with walnuts.  (if you ask they will warm up the pastries for you) Everything was delicious & the staff is so friendly.  Thanks so much!

Nettes Café mit gutem Kaffee. Leider im Pappbecher serviert obwohl ich nach Tassen gefragt habe, auch wenn man zum Verzehr bleibt und Tassen auf der Kaffeemaschine stehen.

Agréable café avec un bon café. Malheureusement servi dans un gobelet en papier bien que j'aie demandé des tasses, même si vous restez pour la consommation & que les tasses sont sur la machine à café.

Nice cozy café experience. I ordered a latte - smooth coffee taste, creamy milk, & perfectly balanced. The atmosphere was relaxing & good for chilling or talking with friends. Service was good too. Would definitely come again.'
