Since it's named after Pinocchio, their menu is named after the main characters from the beloved animation, like Blue Fairy, Jiminy Cricket, Figaro and many more. I was served by Kay! What a lovely person! When it wasn't busy, I had a lovely conversation with her. She explained me the story behind the coffeeshop' name. The shop's owner's father is in construction and he enjoys the wood. He loves the rustic feel like Geppetto, from the animation, hence the title of the shop. I took a delicious latte and the best ever almond croissant (it had lots of almonds unlike any pastry place). I highly recommend this beautiful, delicious and friendly place.

Over the years I've seen him behind the counter and previously I had a white partner so it tracks that I never witnessed blatant racism from him. I'm not sure if he's the owner or not but if he is that sucks for the culture. I'd recommend steering clear of this shop if you're not white (and maybe in general......?). I don't want to say much more. Two stars bc good coffee and the rest of the baristas have always been gracious.

I don't care if it's at an upscale restaurant or someone's garage. Great food still remains great food. The thing that comes with a ridiculous hefty price is that it comes with a lot of expectations and I'm confident enough to say that some of you may have experienced a hefty bill while leaving with disappointment. We've all been there, and I can certainly relate. The amazing story about L'Entre-Pots is that @mtlpancakequeen was looking to build her database for pancakes and aiming to find the best ones in the city. Opened since 2011, Alexandre Beaudry and his team not only excel in customer service (which we all know, something that I profoundly value) but also care about the sense of family amongst the staff members. L'Entre-Pots offers catering services, breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner- I mean pretty much whenever you're hungry. While the weather still allows it, they also have an extended terrace for those who want to enjoy their meal in the sun with a mimosa. While I also have been a guest during their popup and collaboration project, I can only consistently vouch for their brunch menu for at least the handful of time I've been there. Thank you to @mtlpancakequeen for introducing me this place- It had allowed me to showcase L'Entre-Pots talent to other followers and friends while hopefully creating more traffic to local businesses. While there is a ridiculous high demand for avocados for all you avocado basic bitches, I'm sure many of you have noticed the skyrocketing prices of these bad boys. I mean, if you do the groceries. But the price doesn't stop me from ordering the avocado toast at L'Entre-Pots. Served with salmon gravlax, feta cheese, dill yoghurt, and topped with a poached egg? This bad boy right here might be one of my many favourites on their menu.With their weekly specials, L'Entre-Pots is guaranteed to leave you full with their generous portions and excellent customer service. With the power of social media, which gems have you discovered?

All of their…read morepoached eggs dishes are great, and sometimes they have specials like blueberry pancakes with creme fraiche. I highly recommend the Bene Ole which is a breakfast poutine: poached egg, eggs benedict sauce, potatoes, pickles, bacon. It's huge and VERY tasty. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also have smoothies, your usual espresso selection like lattes, mimosas, and more. I highly recommend coming before noon. Around that time the place begins to become packed and it's a small spot. Seating is kind of smushed. I've seen groups of 6 before, 7 or more may be pushing it. They do take reservations I believe so maybe they'll accommodate you. Tip: ask for the orange hot sauce, they make their own and it's great on everything.

Seating inside is a bit limited, but there's a nice patio area outside that makes up for it. There's usually a line, but it moves quickly and is well worth the wait.

Almost every nook and corner was instagrammable and gave off vintage vibes. We ordered the croissant, ginseng latte and a Cortado. The croissant was good but it would have helped if they had warmed it up for us. The Cortado was nice and strong and gave the kick to survive the rest of the evening. The ginseng latte was out of this world. It kind of tasted like a birthday cake in a cup with just the right amount of sweetness. The service was a bit chaotic though since there was a bit of the rush, but regardless, we had a great experience and loved the aesthetics of this cafe. 10/10 recommend.

Cafe Central keeps a low-key vibe with friendly service, great cofffee, drinks, brunch and breakfast items, cookies, and treats, lots of natural light, vintage furniture and happy green plants everywhere. There's also Wi-Fi and tables so you can work here as well. The vibe here is chill but happy.

Zec Café opened up about 2 months ago right next to St-Henri Metro Station, an ideal spot which…read morepreviously lacked nearby options, unless of course one was to walk to the active and growing Notre-Dame Street, the heart of the neighborhood. A friend suggested the place to me and hinted it might be good, and so one morning, my husband and I decided to stop by to give it a shot. We were unimpressed. The espresso they serve is Café Napoléon, a Montréal roaster. The latte I ordered was very average, a bit too strong actually, and the croissant I got alongside it was unfortunately bland. My husband had a double espresso which he found acceptable, and a veggie sandwich he told me satisfied his hunger. I took a bite from it and did not particularly enjoy it; the bread and the marinated vegetables were very ordinary, especially for a $8 sandwich. I know plenty of places that sell better food and coffee for cheaper or equal prices, and find myself surprised that such a coffee shop would open and successfully sustain in St-Henri. I do hope the owners will find a better formula, else I'm tempted to predict a short life for Zec Café. I hope for them that I'm wrong.

The coffeeshop's decor gives the feeling that you are into the woods. The server was by herself and I was her only customer this morning. After I ordered a cappuccino, we chitchatted a bit about a postcard that I noticed on the shelf. It reminded my most memorable trip to Thailand. The server was very sweet; she asked me if I wanted cinnamon or chocolate over my cappuccino; it's really rare that someone asks me this. Even though I added sugar to my cappuccino; it was really bitter. Oh well, another coffeeshop off my checklist.
