    This is my 'office' when I'm not on-site with a client.  It's a lovely, homey, chill-axed space with solid wifi and friendly staff.  The coffee is great, and I don't say that lightly.  I drink black coffee (black black, not black with sugar), so I get to taste coffee in all its raw glory.  When I need to buy beans, I come here.  Cafe Expressions has seemingly billions of kinds of beans, most of them fair trade and/or organic.

    Most of the staff is bilingual, and they also stock both french and english weekly papers.  A nice touch is that they also have french and english daily papers.  

    They have sturdy marble and cast-iron tables with wooden chairs, or you can choose from a few slightly run-down arm-chairs.  There is a sweet, often taken spot right by the front window, where you can chill in a red arm-chair, sip your delicious coffee and watch the world go by (meaning the pretty girls on mont royal).

    Cosy, unique little shop with an exceptional selection of coffees, loose leaf tea blends  and baked goods. Free wifi and good music to boot.

    Coffee is OK, but not amazing.  Nice enough ambiance.  Free wireless is nice.  Nice, quiet place to work.

    I came in here on a thursday afternoon trying to fight the heat wave with a friend, and I ended up staying til late evening.  The service was friendly and their ice café au lait was decent.

    Coffee is on-par with other establishments in terms of price and the fact they had sorbet and gelato did peak my interest.  Plenty of tables around, and friendly atmosphere.  it was a bit on the louder side.  They had a huge variety of teas and beans in bulk.

    I was hoping for more of an ambiance but the trade of for A/C was too high in demand!  The wifi was a bit slow but still fortunate enough to have it, and without staff giving me the eyeball. I tried their ice tea, which I didn't care for, but did have their grilled open-face baguette with swiss.

    I guess I enjoy a unique atmosphere to help spark my creative bug, which lacked a bit, but then I realize I ask for a lot in that direction. Oh and for anglos and francos - happy with the bilingual-ness of the environment.

    from a cafe snob, who likes good cozy atmosphere (for rain or shine), rich delicious coffee, and not overpriced, this place is 5*. Brick walls, spacious, healthy muffins, super nice staff.
