Wang YuqingDecember 6, 2018Cute coffee, super close to McGill University, good atmosphere and friendly staff. They offer different milk ( skinny/vegan) as well
- The flavour of the espresso is "magnifique"! So that's why, any type of coffee you get is amazing. The café latte is very soft (I get it with a single shot). A wonderful place for Mcgill students❤️
MarekApril 15, 2015Asked for pourover and got served a pre-brewed batch of Tanzania beans from P&S. It had a pleasant, if slightly metallic, taste. I can tell that the barista knows his coffee. Good croissants.
Excellent lattes w/ different types of milk available & non-dairy options. The butter tarts are also to die for.
Paolo BApril 29, 2016The soy latte is awesome. Possibly the best in town. Nice vibe and friendly baristas.
- JessicaDecember 6, 2014Their ambience is great! Coffee is on the acidic side so if you don't like acidic coffee, this place isn't for you.
- Freddy TuAugust 28, 2014Great coffee and tea, right in the heart of downtown. They make also some great pastries. This is the perfect place for a fika.
Ozge YOctober 21, 2014A little noisy for study, still cosy and convenient. Loved their chocolate danish though I don't often like danish, and latte is good.- JessicaFebruary 4, 2014their freshly baked goods make you open your wallet. good to have chats with people, if you want to work, bring your quality headphones.
@sumtimw0ng IGSeptember 26, 2016use bows & arrows coffee from victoria BC and occasionally intelligentsia from chicago. was previously intelligentsia most of the time
Ashley WhalenNovember 17, 2014I love it here. Great coffee, great pastries, friendly staff, and Mast Brothers chocolate!
Michael CampbellDecember 19, 2014Best coffee in Montreal. Staff is super friendly. Baked goods are amazing.
Shathiyah KulandaveluMarch 25, 2016Great coffee and cookies. Located across from McGill university. Nice ambiance.
Good lattes, more expensive than most places downtown like Différance, St Henri LQ, Myriade, Pikolo etc
Ada JuristovskiOctober 24, 2014Skip the swirly chocolate thing, not worth your carb-intake. Good coffee otherwise. Across from McGill so expect lots of students and a chill study-vibe.
Irene HjorthMarch 10, 2014Really great coffee and atmosphere. I tiny hideaway in the heart of downtown.
Cortado with almond milk... plus a cold pressed green juice by Dose
Émilie WehbeSeptember 16, 2013Wears its name perfectly! Awesome design full of life with friendly staff :) Love.
Friendly staff!! Put a bit of sunshine on a rainy day :)
Ben HMay 20, 2014This place is so hip, they can't bother to say hi or look at their customers. The name is dripping with irony...
tarang patelJanuary 13, 2014Place is really cool but i think atleast Moka is NOT worth $5.50 for what the quality and quantity.
Igal MordkovichOctober 6, 2014It's not great at all. Coffee is mediocre at best. So are the pastries
