No frills type of diner.
When I went it was super busy and as I went solo, I was given the table right by the toilets (not ideal but I can't complain as I got a table to myself!)
Service is fast and friendly! I opted for eggs (poached and soft), rye bread, and a small fruit salad, plus a coffee. Coffee is a bottomless cup. It came quickly and was the perfect size for something light.
Surprisingly (and delightfully) they had alternative dairy milk, so I had oat milk with my coffee. Hurray!
I only came across this place because I was attending a wedding nearby. Happy coincidence. I can see by the crowd that it's a local go-to.

Recently adopted a cat from this location. The senior volunteer who helped me was a very cheery and helpful woman who just loved cats. The morning staff were fantastic and fun to chat with -- they gave me a little grab bag of goodies to take home with the cat (toys, food, info) and let me borrow a carrier for my big chonker, as she was too heavy for the cardboard case.
There were so many lovely cats in the shelter. Two of which were very aggressive towards other kitties, but very nice cats when on their own. It made me think that a small curtain was needed for over the cat cages so that the aggressive kitties can roam in the room without being reactive to those in the cages. I wanted to take them all home!
FYI to visitors. Even though shelter is open until 6pm, staff did not let me adopt or visit animals after 5:15pm as they "put them to bed". So if wanting a visit or adopt, go earlier in the day or be warned: you will be met by a grumpy staff member who will just want you to go away and to come back another day. Maybe that particular staff member was having a bad day? Regardless her attitude almost made us reconsider the adoption but I'm glad we did not. A simple shift in attitude is probably required if working a customer service desk. A positive greeting goes a long way even if you have to say no!

Tennis court floor is well laid -- no cracks! There are also pickleball lines, BUT they are painted on in such a way that you need to bring and set up your own pickleball nets. Residents can register for free with Tiny township for drop-in pickleball on Mondays from 10am to 12pm in 2022. The township provides nets during that time.
This bookstore had a great selection of books. I'm happy to know they deliver for free to outside of Montreal if you spend more than $40. Toronto is lacking in French bookstores...
