Do YOU know the muffin man?
I DO!
and he cooks up the most heavenly fluffy creations I've ever experienced.
creamy cappucino, crumbly muffins, and enough Dalida to satiate my brain for years to come- best way to start a morning in Montreal! -
Review from Yanik C.

If you like good food, this the THE place. This is an artisanal bakery, they make bread, croissants, and other good stuff on site. They know how to make bread. The two owners came from France 10 years ago the before coming to Montréal they owned a similar place in France. One of the guy is in that kind of business for my generations.
For breakfeast, this is a wonderfull place. Try café au lait or cappuccino. There is a genuine expresso machine there and the owner knows how to use it.
For lunch, the speciality is Soup (home made) and sandwich. You can try the salads too. Very good.
I have been among the first customers (in 1998), the first day when this place opened. Each time I go in Montréal, I go there every morning (except Monday, it is closed, don't forget, the owners are French, so it is closed on Monday tradition française oblige).
By the way, if you like the French singer Dalida, you will love that place: most of the time, you'll hear Dalida and there are an impressive display of posters and other collectible. Many people have nicknamed this place Café Dalida. -

Decent food...a bit over-priced and crappy customer service.The place is located in the gay Village so you can expect lots of attitude from the staff. One of the owners (I guess) waits on tables as if he hated his job,. Don t dare to say a word in English either or you will have to face the consequences, so if you are a tourist and do not speak perfect French you might want to go and spend your money somewhere else but here. The are plenty of places in Montreal where to eat good food, with reasonable prices, decent customer service and where you can speak the international language and the other official language of Canada.....that means ENGLISH.

La Mie Matinale is a fixture in the heart of Montreal's chic gay district. This is a place were people come to meet, see, and be seen. The café allongé is superlative, and the baked goods are hearty and tempting. The muffins are a special treat. One of our favorite features is the Dalida shrine complete with relics that the French icon wore and a fluorescent "Dalida" sign. This place has a great vibe that is diverse, open, and friendly. Come here to practice your French, study, flirt.

Overpriced creamy cappuccinos and fresh-baked pastries don't make up for the bad attitude from the owners, whether you speak French, English or Swahili they are rude...in any possible language, maybe it's not about language but about their whole lives...Premiere Moisson also have coffee and pastries...higher quality and better service.
