Café Saint-henri (marché Jean-talon)

Just came here for the coffee, americano, hard to mess up. I like trying cafes Americanos first to see what the coffee beans really taste like. This place did not disappoint, very good tasting coffee.

I had very unpleasant experience today at St. Henri Jean Talon. First I have to say, we have been their regular customers for more than 3 years. Every weekend (summer or winter) we buy our groceries at the market and always have coffee at Saint Henri. And buy coffee home. Today, we went there, took a table on the patio outside and I opened up a container with food to feed my 1.5 y.o baby who was hungry and crying. We had a stroller and multiple bags and stuff in our hands. We sat at the table, we’re in the process of settling down before going inside to get coffee. I’m about a minute a barista from the coffee told us that we cannot take the table if we did t order anything… Come on, really?! We have JUST sat down. I get that there are rules… but he could have waited for like 10-20 min to make sure that we are sitting there without ordering anything and not make remark after just 30 seconds. I felt uncomfortable and wanted to leave honestly. Normally stuff is very nice there, we were going there with a baby since she was born and were very loyal customers. Please tell your employees to be more emphatic to the customers especially the ones with babies. Sometimes parents need just a couple of minutes to take breath, ok? Also, I got my cortado “to go”, but I asked “for here”.

Like every other Saint-Henri location around, you want amazing tasting coffee but horrible service? Go here! They simply do not listen to how you order. I ordered large, extra hot, no foam cafe latte. They gave me small, room temperature, full of foam. Seriously, come on! But what can I say? The the coffee tastes amazing.

I loved this little cafe. They were quite busy when I was there. However, the service was quick and friendly. My cortado was delicious. I opted to sit inside, since I had been walking around in the heat for awhile. Overall, a great coffee and a pleasant experience.

Great cafe and coffee at Jean-Talon! The milk was nice and sweet in my flat white. Delicious
