Review from Clare L.

I didn't get to stay but I did pick up a cake on the fly for a good friend of mine's birthday. She's not much of a dessert person, but I do know that she enjoys a not-too-sweet slice once in a while.
The service was great, I got some help picking out a Coconut-Lemon Olive Oil Cake and found a cat cookie to place on top! (She's one of those cat people) I did notice how busy the cafe was, and wished to stay for a cup. They had these cute little cakes inside variety of cake stands.
Side Note: I kinda love the business card, it's simple, and to the point, and not of typical size.
Taste verdict: 8 of us enjoyed the cake a lot, and she shared the cat cookie with us, that for some reason tasted like berries to us! The cake was moist, not overpoweringly lemony, and most important not uber sweet! I can't wait to try the other products here. -

There are only a couple of decent joints near the CBC building on Rene-Levesque that I could recommend for a small bite in a pleasurable atmosphere. Thank goodness De Farine has arrived on the scene! The owner and chef has done a great job on maintaining a balance between friendly and efficient. Her innovative pastries are incredible: try the bacon and cheddar croissant, corn muffin, or matcha biscotti-like treat. Her sous-pastry chef, Kathy, puts love into every goodie she bakes. The smoothies are cray-cray (they accommodate for non-dairy too).
The interior is visually unique to the Village too: minimal-baroque mixed with rustic, exposed wood. De Farine in a word? Charming! -

Though I have only visited this cafe once briefly for a business meeting, even that quick coffee was a memorable experience. While munching on a piece of delicious passionfruit cake, all I could do was marvel at the beautiful woodwork detailing the restaurant. Handcrafted tables, sleek but warm design, and a state-of-the-art glass-encased kitchen to keep the cooking staff cool in the heat. Amazing! Friendly service packed full of charm.
