To our surprise, this was maybe the best cafe au lait that we had during our trip. They offer more than just pastries too. I had a delicious an filling pretzel roll filled with eggs, cheese and ham.

This place is where I want to spend a nice relaxing Sunday at. However, this place is a tech-free zone, so you can't bring your laptop or use your phone within the shop. It's a shame because this would have been my ideal study spot.

After visiting the nearby market, I was pleasantly surprised to find a branch of this store nearby…read more I should note that despite this being my first review, I'm a rather obsessive tea drinker and student, having visited some of the best on the east coast. I can easily say that, even despite it's size, this is one of the nicest tea shops I've ever been in. The gentlemen behind the counter was very gracious, curious and accommodating, helping me pick an appropriately priced Darjeeling, letting me smell the leaves and discussing my tastes, quickly switching to English for me. The prices here are very good for the quality of the tea and the teaware and the selection is impeccably curated. I bought the aforementioned Darjeeling and a travel brewing mug and thought the prices were very fair, if a bit of a bargain. I would be extremely happy to have a shop like this in my town.

Very cute café, as well. Looks like a great place to work. Highly recommend the tourn'oeuf (breakfast sandwich). Excellent combo of flavors. This was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. The breakfast platter was very good as well, a sampler of flavorful things. Although we decided the baguette was not the best we've ever had. Gave this platter an A-. We also got the sandwich au jambon which was good, but could've been better with better flavor combos. Still great quality. Loved the ham here. Also highly recommend the chai latte.

The bagels…read moredid not seem to be the traditional Montreal style but we ordered the last two and a cup of coffee. The interior is bright and roomy. There was only one hug working there when we arrived. He didn't seem too keen on refilling the empty cream container but we did get a splash from a carton. The bagels with cream cheese were as you might expect. There were other food offerings that looks generic and the sandwiches maybe pre packaged at headquarters? The coffee was acceptable. I wanted to use the toilette but the door was looked. I assumed that someone was in there and after I waited at the table a while I saw a lady grab a key that was attached to a large spoon and open the door. So if you need to pee the key is hanging on a hook behind that short wall by the toilette.

But I did go on a Sunday night so it was emptier than usual. There is a table in the center that has plugs for your charger cables but it's not the best seat. I wish they had more plugs in the corners of the store to be unbothered. It achieves the purpose of being a good Internet cafe to study or get some work done which is what I needed at the time. The menu is the same as any other second cup so if you like their offerings, you will still like them here.

The restaurant itself is broken into 3 areas (a walk up counter, a casual area, and the more formal dining room). It was warm when we went and we were burning up by the time we left, but the drinks were quite good and so was our server. The hubby and I shared a couple of pastries with the savory scone and kouign amann being our favorites. Their dishes look very good, on the smaller side, and meant to be shared.

In our weeklong vacation in Montreal, this was the one and only time we felt slighted. Interactions between the single gentleman worker were, well, definitely strained and it did not go past ordering food. He was rather snide when we asked what all they have in the case for breakfast. And, oh great, he informed us that no new. Real fast pastries/quiche, etc. had yet been brought to them that morning. We had no desire to strike up a conversation, as he seemed completely preoccupied with more important stuff, talking with his friend. The food was also not that good. My mother said her buttered croissant was rather stale tasting, and pretty hard around the edges. My Salmon Frittata was nothing to write home about. Mushy. The crust edge was dry and hard. Didn't even eat the whole thing. My mother's Macchiato was decent, but nothing over the top. Will we come back? No. There's more places to taste.
