The closest subways are probably St. Laurent (green) and Mont-Royal (orange), however I'm always walking so check first, if you're using transit. Street parking available [metered].The place: Nice space - very simple, urban, cozy. They have a great little terrace that I was able to enjoy when I stopped by.The goods: GREAT coffee. They use Phil & Sebastian beans - I'd never tried these guys before but I immediately fell in love with them, at first sip. Very tasty, not bitter at all. I had a Macchiato. The barista basically made me the perfect cup of coffee. They also make great (natural) ice tea.Service: Good.Price point: I think the Macchiato was $2.75 but I'm not sure. the beans were $18.This is my new favourite spot (after Olimpico, of course). Check it!

The coffee is excellent, the service is great. The interior design is really cool with local art. Make sure to try the chicken avocado panini! read more The coffee is excellent, the service is great. The interior design is really cool with local art. Make sure to try the chicken avocado panini!

The fruit smoothie was delicious, with flavors of strawberry, raspberry, orange, and potentially other fruits as well. read more The fruit smoothie was delicious, with flavors of strawberry, raspberry, orange, and potentially other fruits as well.

Street parking is available with meters. The space is beautiful, simple, urban, and cozy, with a lovely terrace for customers to enjoy. The highlight is the GREAT coffee made with Phil Sebastian beans, which were new to me but absolutely delicious and not bitter. I particularly enjoyed the Macchiato I ordered, expertly crafted by the barista. They also offer a refreshing natural ice tea. The service was good, and while I can't recall the exact prices, I believe the Macchiato was around $2.75 and the beans were $18. Overall, this has become my new favorite spot (aside from Olimpico). Check it out for yourself!
