Have been here twice now: once for lunch and once for breakfast, and the food was great both times. It's not cheap, but it is definitely value for money - the food is worth it.

For lunch I had a great chicken wrap: It wasn't cheap but it was worth it,…More »

Found this great little cafe while looking for a different place in NDG - it was a fantastic little find.

I had waffles with dulce de leche (the real stuff, not the sickly-sweet kind you sometimes get) while the gf had the banana foster waffles - both…More »

The coffee here is great, and the atmosphere is the closest thing I've found to a Sydney cafe on my side of the MTL.

They don't server much more than (good) pastries and sandwiches to eat, but what more do you want with your (great) coffee? If you…More »

This place has a great vibe if you want to sit and read/study/escape the cold. It's also open early till late, which is nice if you need a caffeine hit in the evening. They've also got free WiFi, and I've never had any problems with it.

They don't do…More »

Another great coffee place in Montreal. I tried both a macchiato and a latte, and would go back for more at the drop of a hat.

The place was loud, but not in a bad way. It's just not the kind of place you'd go if you want to have some "alone time",…More »

This place easily ranks with the best coffee in Montreal. I really like the blend here, and they serve it just the way it should be. If you're after some "tall" crap (ie. from Starbucks, etc) then stay away from here, and from me too. I gather from…More »

  2/24/2012

Have been here a few times for breakfast and once in the evening, so I'll split the review in to two:

Breakfast - while there's always a line up, it's well worth the wait.

The place is noisy, but that's just because it's one big space (including all…More »

  3/6/2012

This is one of my local go-to breakfast places here in Verdun. It's not fancy, but it's cheap and good. If you're in the area and need a good breakky, then you should definitely try it out (the more hungover you are the better!).

My favourite is the…More »
