Update: I'm editing my review to include an incredible experience I had today. Since my umbrella was wet from the rain, I left it in the stand near the door. But when I was about to leave I noticed my umbrella was missing. I don't know whether someone took it by mistake or if it was an act of theft. Anyway, when I brought the issue to the lovely barista, an employee of the hotel (Nathanael) overheard my concern and offered to help. He literally went out in rain and got me a new umbrella! Just asked me to return it once I got something of my own. This should be a textbook example of going above and beyond. Goes to show how some employees take pride in their work and elevate the customer experience even if they don't have to. I'd cherish this kind gesture forever. Original review: I'm officially in love with this cute little cafe. Doesn't feel like a typical "designed by corporate" or "trying to be hip" cafe. Instead, it makes you feel as if you've stepped into your study in your home. I tried their latte and croissant; they were good. Barista was nice and polite.

️A small, tucked-away oasis in the heart of the city. Been here many times for coffee dates with a friend or to chill out on my laptop. Located on Stanley near corner of Sherbrooke inside an old nondescript row house that is also a boutique-boutique hotel. It has a low-key exclusive feeling and a quaint, relaxing atmosphere that vibes student-hipster-Canadian. Many patrons seem associated with McGill University, which makes sense given the campus is a block away. Usually just one barista staffing the place who is always kind, accommodating, and mild mannered. Thoughtful, subtly cheeky, Montreal-hipster nods everywhere if you look close enough. Hats off the the managers, the place avoids stuffiness and has a soothing energy. Pastries and beverages are good though the lunch-y meals could stand to be fresher, smarter, tastier.

If you are traveling around Mcgill University then this is a must visit place for you!! I often try their cappuccino, latte and Americano. They don't offer an exceptional taste or quality of coffee but you will get the standard quality of drinks and other foods with a welcoming smile of their staff! Besides, I love their interior decoration which creates a positive vibe inside the cafe. An ideal place for a date or for a meeting!

Romantic, Quiet, Great value

Cute space (despite the religious quotes everywhere). The back room is great for working. However... the staff are incredibly incompetent. It took 10 mins to get a filter coffee (no line). We were asked three times if we were going to stay or leave. Then we were told there might not be coffee and the host had to “check.” Luckily there was some left otherwise I’d have to wait for them to brew more...

Hidden gem for coffee and snacks! Pastries are made in-house by a truly amazing French pastry chef. The coffee is really good as well and the place very cozy, welcoming and good for studying. Highly recommend.

Beautiful interior with great coffee and croissant. The server here is amazingly friendly as well. Definitely a hidden jewel in the neighborhood given that it only got 19 reviews by the time I’m writing this.

Very accommodating and nice staff. Their house tea with the rose and lychee was amazing. The website needs to be updated on their menu, but this cafe is very welcoming and cozy. Their upload speed has some issues though.

It is an amazing café! if you want to find a quiet and cozy place, you must come here. The staffs here are so friendly and there is a place for studying and working. Coffee and croissants are perfect too! …

Yummy chicken pesto sandwiches, I was greeted by Aiko and Nathalie during my last two visits they were absolutely sweet and giving me great suggestions… 100% would come back for their service

Every time I come here I'm greeted so warmly! The staff is so caring and kind. The coffee is good, and the pastries are so yummy one of my favorite spots to get coffee downtown! …

Great expresso coffee ☕️. Nice atmosphere. I wish they had cream, as there is only milk and milk substitute available

It's ok. Nice staff, quiet, and the croissant was decent. My flat white wasn't a flat white, probably should have stuck with an americano.
