Cute 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❤️

Asked 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.

Great coffee and tea, right in the heart of downtown. They make also some great pastries. This is the perfect place for a fika.

The soy latte is awesome. Possibly the best in town. Nice vibe and friendly baristas.

Their ambience is great! Coffee is on the acidic side so if you don't like acidic coffee, this place isn't for you.

The blueberry lemon scones may be the best I've ever had.

A little noisy for study, still cosy and convenient. Loved their chocolate danish though I don't often like danish, and latte is good.

their freshly baked goods make you open your wallet. good to have chats with people, if you want to work, bring your quality headphones.

So far, the best coffee I had in Montreal (which is saying a lot)
Anastasia ArtemovaSeptember 28, 2015
Instantly fell in love with the ambience. Lattes are on point 👌
Ada JuristovskiOctober 24, 2014
Skip 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.

Coffee is up there on places to try when in Montreal! Try the scones

Good lattes, more expensive than most places downtown like Différance, St Henri LQ, Myriade, Pikolo etc

Scones are amazing. Coffee ok.

This place is so hip, they can't bother to say hi or look at their customers. The name is dripping with irony...

It is way too small and pricey
tarang patelJanuary 13, 2014
Place is really cool but i think atleast Moka is NOT worth $5.50 for what the quality and quantity.

It's not great at all. Coffee is mediocre at best. So are the pastries
