I don't get the vibe of this place. The first time, I ordered a chai tea latte and a cookie. They offered a small homemade dessert, which was okay but didn't taste incredible to me. The chai tea latte wasn't great—I can't tell if it was the type of milk, but the overall taste wasn't to my liking. I drink a lot of chai tea lattes. Went for a second time hoping for a better experience. Asked for a filtered coffee, but they didn't have it, or the machine was off—I end up not understanding it. I settled for an americano with milk. Again, it didn't taste good, and the paper cups were flimsy; they leaked in my car's cup holder, creating a mess. The staff member was playing with her phone while taking my order. I honestly don't get it. While the ambiance and decor seem nice, I believe people go for the hipster vibe and free internet mainly.

This place is great place to do meeting,study, meet beloved ❤️ one and friends. They have great value to the society and afford lowest price in downtown Montreal . Also they serve sometimes for people who can't pay like homeless which I think great contributions to the great society in Quebec ✌️ They do have the following 1- Selection of coffees 2-Tea 3-Iced drinks 4-Scones 5- food I strongly recommend you to visit it and experience the amazing options they have ‍‍‍ If you have kids a great place waiting for them as they call it " Le petit Sfouf " where the can enjoy. They do have Lebanese brunch and cost 17.50 only Saturday and Sunday.

I went to this coffee shop yesterday to work a bit and i really like it! Very cozy and cute, and it has a nice atmosphere, especially if you want to work or study. I heard that they have good brunch, but i only had a coffee and Sfouf (both for 8$). The Sfouf was super yummy it is a Lebanese turmeric and semolina cake. This one was a bit different than the one im used to back home but it is still very tasty and worth the try! Overall, I really recommend the place, especially on a cold winter day ❄️ it also has a nice surrounding if you wanna have a walk after

What a delightful place. The atmosphere is cozy. The coffee is very good and there's a good selection of tartines to pick from, savory or sweet. I like that they serve a little piece of sfouf with the coffee. The service was excellent. We went early on a Friday and more people kept showing up. The lady was still able to keep up with everyone's orders. Be aware that they only take cash or Canadian debit cards.

Very cute coffee shop ! The coffee is good, the barista was nice and the pastry (maple and almond scone) was good too. They have this cute little attention - since the name and origin of the place is Lebanese, with your coffee you get a tiny piece of cake called a ‘’Sfouf’’. The prices were good, there’s a lot of spaces to work with you laptop and there even a little book collection that you can read while sipping your coffee of tea. Pros: good coffee + ‘’Sfouf’’ and perfect ambiance to work. Cons: nothing bad to say !

  • Muha Masoud

It's meh at most. I showed up and apparently brunch was over even though it was out 13h15 (45 minutes before their brunch ends) and then they didn't have espresso (?) because Mondays they're closed they don't take credit cards got a dark hot chocolate - it was not good . the staff are just dry and from the minute i walked in they made me feel unwelcome tbh first and last time

a really cute and thoughtful cafe! they have a coat rack, a complimentary sfouf (very yummy), and water. also a working-friendly atmosphere. payment wise they only take canadian cards and cash. i got a hojicha latte, it was pretty meh as the hojicha flavor was very mild and it tastes mostly like steamed milk. but overall a good experience and would come back for something else.

Cute little neighborhood café. It seems like each and every customers are regulars. The industrial-like design with used & refurnished furniture, i'n not so sure. Sitting on a chair that seems on the brim of falling apart is not my favorite part but the coffee is nice. I was told to wait before ordering and then bluntly asked why I haven't ordered yet. There was some back and forth of awkwardness that was really unnecessary. Lady, I just want a coffee.

  • Yesmine Boukhili

Great atmosphere, welcoming staff and lovely owner. Every time you order a drink, they give a sfouf, which is a Lebanese almond-semolina cake. Their sweet and salty toasts are good. Since the coffee shop is on a corner street, there's a lot of light coming in. It's family friendly. Even thought I'm not a mother, I really appreciate the fact that there's a little playground and a changing room for the babies. That's what I call being considerate.

  • ara sauvage

the coffee was decent but the 3 measly tiny half pieces of bread with a bit of confiture was NOT worth the almost 10$ - that's 3$ a half piece of bread also, was sitting at the communal table and some older woman was there with her tablet just watching a show with the volume loud enough for all to hear. what do people have against wearing earplugs and not bothering everyone with what they're watching and listening too?

  • Benjamin Brown

This place has been very hit or miss for me. I really like the cafe's decor, but the staff is always rude, which creates an uninviting atmosphere. The coffee is aggressively mediocre and the food is good, but on the pricier side. I want to love this cafe so I always find myself going back - mainly because it's conveniently located - but I always end up disappointed and regret my experience.

One of my favorite coffee shops in Montreal The owner is very hospitable, the staff is kind and coffee is great! ☕️ Specifically, the desert Sfouf is very tasty and would recommend you to try it. Saw many folks working from the coffee shop, very quiet and great Wifi connection. In short, highly recommended!

one of the best spot to sit down with your laptop for the day, great sun rays coming in and all. prices are a bit on the higher end but probably normal if it was on the plateau. they don't take credit cards just debit so beware. drinks are okay, I find them to be always boiling hot and a bit below expectations flavor wise, but I go back for the convenience.

  • Stephanie Soong

Really cute neighborhood cafe. Mostly locals come here as everyone was speaking French around me. Interior decor is cozy and airy. Great customer service. Note that they only accept Canadian debit or credit cards and cash. I couldn’t use my American Visa card. However they did accept U.S. cash.

Cozy place but the seats are a little to close to each other, I do not recommend the matcha latte at all but the coffee is really nice. I think the most adorable thing about this place are the workers. Really friendly people and the children helping them around really sets a wonderful atmosphere at the this coffee shop.

  • R R

I didn’t have any cash or debit card, but they were generous enough to still make me a drink and offer a free pastry. Really enjoyed my drink and pastry. Small acts of kindness really goes a long way, I’ll be sure to pay it forward

A very hipster space. Cool place to work or read in. Atmosphere is peak NYC-esque moderna. Coffee is pretty good quality and comes with a complimentary little turmeric cake. They don't have too many snacks to offer though generally. Service was a bit awkward for me as an anglophone but not rude at all.

  • Yoona

Beautiful and charming coffee shop with a delightful array of Lebanese pastries. The owner and her staff are incredibly accommodating, friendly and knowledgable. Also, in a divine location. Perfect spot to be caffeinated.

Amazing atmosphere and friendly staff! Thought it was awesome that the washroom has a space for changing babies. Family friendly and delicious food. Even had an English menu for guests like me I like the decor of this place a lot! Average prices for a cafe. Would definitely come again! …

Super comfortable cafe to hang out in for an afternoon coffee and snack. The sfouf is vegan and delicious! I like to have it slightly heated up personally during the winter. Overall I like this place but sometimes finding a spot to sit is hard when you’re a larger group!

lovely ambience with great coffee and sandwiches. nice big windows which gives the place a very airy feel. i was too full after eating my delicious sandwich to read my book though....had to rest my tummy a while...haha!

  • Claire P.R.

Wonderful and cozy spot filled with light. The London Fog was delicious and the frangipane toast simply amazing! They have a cute corner with toys for kids and a changing table too. Owner is very sweet and attentive.

  • David Mintz

Super cute cafe, with a a great atmosphere. Relaxed, chic and homey. Coffee was rich and decadent. Service was a tad slow when busy. The mocha was very good. Would definitely cam back here for lunch.

  • great food K

Wonderful little cafe, good wifi with home made cakes. It has a cozy vibe and a great work space. The only thing I would add is to improve the milky coffees, might attract more coffee afficionados.

  • Shayna Holmes

Caféing correctly - It's one of those places that's thought of everything: a coat rack, visible wifi password, kids area, charging cables. I'm impressed. It's busy in here, but calm and welcoming.

  • Ebisu

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Chill, kind, and tasty. No drip coffee. Yes oatmilk and wifi. A low-key and cute coffeeshop with homey vibes; one of my favorite places to check in for a sip and a snack!

  • Max (Max Guide)

Great coffee place, with a lot of space and big windows which can be fully opened during the sunny days. Ample of seating places and good coffee makes it one of the best place in the town.

  • Alex

Great place. Getting more and more annoying with people doing online meetings for lengthy periods. For anyone reading or other work. I love the coffee... robust italian style.

  • Yuqing Wang

cheery café to brighten any day, highly recommend the lait d'or, but add 2 shots of espresso to make a delicious turmeric latte!
