This cute little cafe across Lafontaine Park is like bike haven! They have maps for every bike path…read moreyou can imagine and all for free! Place was busy too for a weekday afternoon, with bikers stopping in for a quick bite. I don't ride bikes, I drink coffee..and that's why I decided to stop in! Besides the array of baked goods, sandwiches and salads, there was one item that really ci-haut my eye; they have a lavender latte??! What?! I grabbed a tall lavender coffee with almond milk for 5.50$ and sat on the little patio upfront to enjoy my java. The scent of lavender was intense upon my first sip but I quickly got accustomed to the odd flavour and thoroughly enjoyed my cup of joe; the espresso was not very acidic and the almond milk was perfectly sweet, so overall, this coffee was perfectly balanced! Maybe it was the lavender or maybe it was the summer like weather, but I felt totally zen and content. The price may be a little higher then other shops in the corner who offer better coffee but the scenic view and odd lavender coffee has intrigued me enough to return for the spiced latte...stay tuned.

I've tried their salads a couple of times for lunch…read more The offering was original: I had the Marseille salad with burghul (for some reason referred to as tabbouleh) and salmon, which was decent and had a nice dressing that went with it. I've wanted to try their sandwiches, but never made it past the skepticism infused by the glutenness this involves. Marius has an open-air terrace on St Catherine, which makes it a fun place for people watching on that pedestrian section of the busy street. I was also pleasantly surprised with how the neighbourhood evolved since last time I went to the former red light district. I would go back (and have gone back)

So we just seated ourselves which is not a big deal but is just mixed signals. I ordered a matcha latte with blueberries and it wasn't that great. The matcha part was amazing, the blueberry part was barely there. Nevertheless even with the issues I recommend giving the spot a look. It has personality and really nice vibes

Every drink comes with a little turmeric cake (both delicious&healthy). It's a little small, gets packed really fast. So if you decide to check it out, go early! Closest metro is about a 10 min walk (Beaudry metro). At the doors they added a dome like plastic cover, which helps isolates the cold when someone opens the door,really well thought out for people inside. They even have a little play area for kids called "Le Petit Sfouf" such an adorable name! Love the big garage doors! Definitely coming back in the summer,when both doors are open and the sunshine's through. Downfall: There aren't that many wall plugs.

The breakfast sandwhich we got seemed fresh but bland. It definitly needed hot sauce or something but that would have made it pretty decent. The coffee itsef was larger than I was expecting and seemed pretty creamy which was nice. A decent spot if your in the area for a drink but I would skip it for food.

Luckily, this place was down the same street as my hostel so I made the trip and was greeted in French but they quickly made me comfortable when they realized my native tongue was English. How freakin' cute is this place ?! SO CUTE. So much to look at and do. Great place to dine alone or with friends. They have Nintendo that you can play with many games, fun booths you literally have to climb into and just so many apparatuses you can check out. Oh yeah! And my chai latte and breakfast burrito (suggested by the lovely barista) tied it all together to make a perfect experience here. Unfortunately, I lost most my photos from this trip but just trust me on this. Reasonably priced food for how dang delicious everything was! Can't wait to return back to Montreal one day, if I do, I'll have to bring in some of my friends to experience such an awesome, sweet place!

I was delighted by the selection - there were some fancy cakes and other baked goods at the main food counter, plus a counter serving lots of gelato flavours which all looked excellent. I went for a slice of carrot cake and a Lune Rouge rooibos tea. Carrot cake was as good as it looked. The layers of carrot cake and cheesecake (or maybe just a really rich cream cheese frosting) were really nice and the caramel sauce on top was delicious. I like carrot cakes with lots of Stuff so I liked the raisins and nuts. Definitely big enough to share but also manageable for one if you're hungry, which I was. Good tea too, and nice to have three different options for rooibos. The staff was nice. The atmosphere is a little frenzied, more like a fast food place than a cafe, but it seems to be a big study spot nonetheless. Not every table is adjacent to an outlet, but there are some hidden ones along the floor. There are also some nice counter seats along the windows inside (most of which do not have outlet access) and a huge patio.
