Very friendly staff and good service. I ordered the Ruka vanilla cream latte and it tasted a little off but was still good. The person who took my order came over unprompted and said they made a mistake and made it with oat milk . They already had a replacement being made and gave me the correct order very quickly. Coffee was nice and atmosphere was chill. Great place!

Great local spot to grab coffee and treats. The staff are really nice and make an effort to remember your order, chat you up and bring you your food or drinks. There's a cute seating area outside and a smaller area inside. The wraps and treats are quite good too! Love getting a breakfast burrito with my coffee!

I really enjoy my visits here, even it's while I wait for a sandwich to be toasted. There's a real sense of community in here. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is really good, excellent quality and reasonably priced. I'm lucky that my office is close by.

Ordered a delivery this morning and was genuinely happy to see this “Happy Friday” wish on a bag of cookies. For me it means that they care, thank you ☺️ ordered tiramisu coffee which was absolutely amazing, panini and almond croissant. Definitely will order again.

The barista was very friendly and warm. Even helped me decide on a drink. I got the pumpkin spice latte, thanks to the barista's recommendation. I only wish it was sweeter, but that is merely my own petty critique. Otherwise, I very much enjoyed my drink.

The interior was very cozy and cute with a very picturesque image of what a cafe would look like in a book.

Everything is awesome about this cafe! The staff are so friendly and genuine, I love stopping by on my way to work ☺️ coffee is great and banana bread is delicious — they have lots of sandwiches/food options but I haven’t tried those yet
Tried their Hawaiian coffee, but it was a bit too sweet for me. Their regular latte is way better. It's a spacious cafe, and interiors are done tastefully. Will come again and stick to my regular latte.

We tried the Bingsoo and it was good.
Place was small but homey. We tried dining outside since inside was mostly occupied.

I had a fantastic experience at this cafe! The customer service here sets a high standard for all others. The staff was fast, competent, and incredibly friendly.

Their coffee selection is impressive, and I tried the floral blend, which was absolutely perfect. The unique presentation of coffee in a small pot with a small cup adds a delightful touch.

I ordered the Mortadella Supreme, and the croissant was divine - crunchy, golden, and fresh. There are also tempting pastries that I'm eager to try on my next visit.

The ambiance of the cafe is incredibly relaxing, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

The only drawback was the absence of Wi-Fi, which was a bit surprising considering the inviting environment. Nonetheless, the exceptional customer service more than made up for it. I'm leaning towards giving them a 5-star review despite the Wi-Fi issue.
I tried the carré bleuet, and it was really tasty and buttery, but the homemade iced tea wasn't for me. It tasted a bit like an expensive perfume..
Stumbled upon this cafe on our first day in the city while suffering with jetlag. What a find, the food is amazing and the service great. We are now coming back here for breakfast each morning. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

A wonderful bustling coffee shop right by the Concordia campus. Offers delicious coffee and baked goods and always has the high quality Myriade is known for around the city. Really love this location and has become a regular stop when in the area.
Amazing maple latte! The best latte we had in Montreal.
Espresso was good too but I would have preferred it on a regular small cup. But the maple latte was simply fantastic.
Interesting brand too…
I was quite surprised by how good the coffee is. I’m a coffee snob and I tried many coffee shops… the two problems I have with coffee shops is either the coffee is too acidic or low quality that tastes like water… I liked this place because it wasn’t acidic nor tasting like water and better tasting then Starbucks is all I need to be satisfied. I tried the iced latte their popular one and it was delicious!

Delicious buttery croissant with a good thick inside and a good balance of sweet & savoury and where you can eat more without feeling it’s too much.

Solid cold brew coffee, tastes fruity and refreshing — perfect for summer.

Ordered Ruka Tiramisu Latte and Raspberry donut. Was super good. Staff was friendly and nice!
This is always a fun place to stop for a quick bite. I love the tropical aesthetic with the feel of the open air cafe! It's the best when it's a nice (or just nice-ish) day and the windows are open and you can feel the breeze while you're inside... It seems like it's always busy around lunch, when I usually come, but I've always been able to find a spot inside or in the patio area.
Between this downtown location and the other cafes, I've been here many times and gotten the chance to try a lot of the menu. There are always a few very cool seasonal drinks which keeps things fresh. My personal favourites for food are the veggie quiche and the guava loaf (or whatever seasonal loaf is available), but everything is great. For drinks, I usually go for whatever is seasonal, but they also do really good matcha lattes, and lattes are very good too - again, you can't go wrong. It's a little expensive but it's all really good stuff!
They have a small retail selection where you can buy their jams, dressings, beans, and merchandise. I'm not much of a coffee nerd but if you are, they have a few different unique beans from Hawaii here.

This cafe has what I call the holy trinity:
1. Beautiful cafe space, 2. Excellent coffee, 3. Fantastic food.
This was probably my favourite cafe in downtown Vancouver.
Located on a corner opposite a small park, the cafe is very light and bright, stylish and welcoming.
The coffee was exceptional - it looked and tasted absolutely perfect.
The food offering is so good too - lots of choice, both sweet and savoury.
I would definitely recommend trying this cafe!

Excellent food and charming atmosphere. Went here for breakfast each day when visiting a friend in Montreal. This is your place for authentic French baked goods.......and their namesake croissants are excellent.

I ordered a latte and it was lukewarm, very disappointed, the flavour was good but being cold ruined the experience. Also ordered a cookie and it was good but also cold like it came out of the fridge. Won't be going to this location again.
Great atmosphere, and food! The quiche was delicious.

Amazing place for great coffee, breakfast and even a beverage of your choice. The service was great we went back twice. Mediterranean Toast was fantastic. Near McGill college. Also take out, lunch and dinner menus available with a full bar.

🏠 The Caffe Pigeon in Maisonneuve, Montreal is an absolute gem! 😍 The cozy ambiance makes it a perfect spot to unwind, and the outdoor seating area adds a delightful touch to the experience. 🌳

☕️ Speaking of the coffee, I ordered the latte caramel, and it was nothing short of AMAZING! 🤩 The perfect blend of rich coffee and luscious caramel flavors left my taste buds dancing with joy. 💃🕺

👌 The attention to detail in their coffee preparation was evident, and the baristas clearly know their craft. The latte art on top was a beautiful touch! ☕️🎨

🧁 The assortment of pastries and treats complemented the coffee perfectly. 🍰🍪 It was hard to resist indulging in some, and I'm glad I did because they were scrumptious! 😋

👍 The staff was friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. 🤗 It's a place where you can relax and enjoy your coffee without feeling rushed. I had an excellent experience at Caffe Pigeon and will definitely be returning for more of their delightful coffee creations and cozy vibes! ☕️🕊️ If you're a coffee lover, this place is a must-visit in Montreal! 🌟
This is an incredible spot! The food is Michelin star quality, service is impeccable and the atmosphere is tasteful. Perfect spot for a hangout, a date or for a few hours of work.

My only complaint is that they don’t have wifi, I really really wish they did :)
The service provided by the staff was outstanding at Nemesis- they were friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome.

Regarding the coffee, it's a matter of personal preference, as found that the taste didn't align with my palate.
However, I must emphasize that the coffee itself is not necessarily bad; it simply wasn't to my liking.

On the bright side, the pastries I ordered, both savory and sweet, were a real treat! They were delicious and definitely added a positive note to my visit.

While the coffee might not have been to my liking, the excellent service and delightful pastries were notable aspects of my experience at Nemesis Coffee Gastown. If you're looking for a place with great pastries and a friendly atmosphere, this might be worth a visit❤️

Bright and airy cafe with a selection of pastries/cakes and sandwiches! They have some interior and patio seating. They also have a variety of grocery items available for purchase like fruit syrups, coffee beans, milk. No AC but they have fans. Good wifi, and outlets available.

Coffee is ok, but on the lower end for a specialty coffee place. Staff speak English and are nice, which is good because my French is est muy plutôt terriblé 😅😭.

Also they have Jenga for weird people who actually live in a city and have friends. 🥲
Honestly, one of my best ice-cream of my life.

I especially love the Gianduia.
Magic happened in my mouth with the 1st bite.

Taste and you’ll know what I mean.

We are noticed that the food needed ti be prepare for 20 mons but actually we waited for our breakfast for 40 mins, and the meal is just sandwiches. How come need to be waited for so long? Service were great, but not worth to spend $50 for a breakfast. Coffee is the highlight, IT IS EXCELLENT!
I'm not the biggest fan of croissants, they explode when you bite into them. And most of the time they're dry. But when my wife said "I googled the best croissants in montreal, and I want to try them." I had no choice but to go woth her.

And I definitely do not regret it. The buttery texture and well contained crunch have earned them that title. The coffee was perfectly what I was going for, not too sweet and a with a real chocolate flavour on ice for such a hot day.

The inside decor, at first, seemed to match the copy paste of every other hipster cafe, but with enough of their own flair that I'd say they made it unique.

Overall, if you're in the neighborhood, I'd say it's something you would not want to miss.

What a nice cafe!!!
The servers are very kind and friendly.
They gave treat to my dog. 😍
Their croissant and coffee is nice. Love there!!!!
Visit again. 😋
Okay wow! This place was amazing- from the delicious croissant like pastry we had (it had the tastiest raspberry and custard filling) to the perfectly steamed and prepared oat flat white/chai latte!!

Staff were super friendly and the shop is inviting, has great natural light, and had good amount of seating!

The area is a little sketchy, but that can’t really be helped
Great gelato in Niagara! The mango stecco was delicious and the flavors looked very good too😋 it's a busy place but worth the wait and their gelato is the perfect companion for a stroll on a sunny day.

Croissant Croissant bakery in Montreal is a must-visit destination. The bread and pastries are incredibly fresh, leaving you speechless. The legendary croissants alone make it worth the journey. A true gem for pastry enthusiasts, even if it's not conveniently located nearby.

Such a cute cozy coffee place, pet friendly and the staff are amazing. They make homemade muffins and other baked goods, just a few step from my home.
Incredible coffee with milk alternatives. It was no Problem to get a Cappuccino with oatmilk. The cafe is small with seating in- and outside, they are also selling merchandise and their own coffee beans.
Good place for coffee and bites.

We tried the croissants, latte, mocha and hash. The butter croissant was made really well, very fluffy and multiple layers and crisp on the outside but I wish it was warmed up before serving.

The latte and mocha were good, the hash wasn't to our taste.

Would recommend this place for their croissants, and the French toast brulee sounds like an incredible concept, will be back for this one.

The butter croissant from here was alright, not as good as I expected, it was dense and heavy 3.6/5. They do have vegan croissants too which I didn’t try, they looked a little flat which isn’t surprising given the necessary recipe modifications. Overall a cute cafe, I will have to go back and try one of the other pastries.

Good place. Bit sad they don't have a full decaf coffee option.
Excellent customer service, the man who served was very polite and kind, the ice cream and everything else was very delicious 😋 I enjoyed it very much I really recommend this place.
I left Vancouver 5 years ago. At that time Nemesis was great. I’m confident to say they’ve upped their game and remain at the top end of the Vancouver coffee and pastry scene. Everything we had was top of class. Coming from Europe I was not expecting to be floored by the pastries but they were truly exceptional.

Food was solid. Service is speedy and helpful. Coffee was really cool. A bit stronger brew than European style brewing but great none the less.

High recommendation,
High praise.
Always good. Neighborhood place on West End. A good place to hang with the locals. Located right on Davie Street.

WOW WHAT A B! Barista super rude. Didn’t ask for my friends points card. Gave me attitude when I asked what kind of dairy subs they had. My latte was cold. It’s an arena, make it hot? I complained on the app and got a free beverage out of it. But I’ll stop somewhere else on my way to watch hubby play hockey. Two thumbs down. The energy was soul sucking.
We had cappuccino here which was good and tried vanilla gelato, it was good too. Nice cozy place to sit and have your coffee. Have had more yummy gelatos but still was not that bad.

Consistently good food and decent coffee. Employees are often unfriendly and impolite, strangely so, as most Second Cups are good in this regard.
Delicious affogato and freshly baked apple strudel pastry. Rob is a gem. 3 tiny tables and chairs plus window bar stools. Truly touch-free payment!

Have you tried gelato with zero sugar AND also with lactose free milk?😳 Hehe, this place satisfies your cravings for gelato! I find their menu to be pretty special, they have all kinds of different flavours and also two flavours (vanilla and caffè) which are made of lactose free milk and sugar free 😌(using a sugar alternate). This time, I got the Caffè gelato with lactose free milk and zero sugar! 😗

I got it because I usually drink lactose free milk and really want to try what sugar free gelato is like! 😝It is no different from the normal gelato ngl. It is sweet and rich in coffee flavour and actually very yummy! I will definitely come back again! 🥰

Thank you for the great hospitality and yummy treat! 🤍

WOW! Kranky Cafe really did fix my cranky. Not only is this a hidden gem coffee shop, but the service is amazing! I had the soup of the day which happened to be a white cabbage soup-- delicious! The ladies serving us brought out out food and drinks to the patio since it was a beautiful day. I wish I were local to the area, because I'd be here all the time. Thank you!
I absolutely adore Croissant Croissant! It's my go-to spot in Montreal for delicious coffee. Their pastries, especially the almond croissant, are a delightful treat - soft inside and slightly crunchy on top, it's simply amazing. This place truly elevates the coffee and pastry experience in Montreal, and it's a personal favorite of mine! ☕🥐😍

Little update: the menu has a new addition - the square croissant with caramel!
Melriches has a lot of character.  Very artsy and cozy.  It even has a library.  Local artists are showcased on the walls.  I usually just have coffee and a croissant, which are both good.  But there are a lot of other food options.  There is also seating outside, both front and back.  WiFi is good.  Staff are down to earth and friendly.

What really makes Melriches such a staple for Davie street is the mix of excellent customer service and outstanding fellow patrons. Because this is such a hot spot for the LGBTQ+ community, the people surrounding you while you sit and enjoy your cup of coffee and delightful meals, are always so friendly and vibrant. This may not be the most 'instagrammable' experience in terms of decor, but the feeling you get that this place serves, is top notch. I would like to come back to take photos of their other menu items because I don't feel like my pics are doing this place justice. Otherwise, I highly recommend this place if you're new to the city, are not afraid to be open minded with your company, and enjoy striking up a conversation with a stranger ☕🍰
Just realized we’ve been eating this legendary breakfast sandwich (with ham - on sourdough) for 20 years now. Between the OG location on Davie and the one in Yaletown we’ve been enjoying this place forever. The hot sauce with the sandwich is made of unicorns and rainbows as far as we’re concerned. Keep crushing it Melriches. I’ll see you again when I’m back from my diet haha.

Pretty convenient having a Second Cup in a rec centre! Here watching my friends hockey game and got my favourite coffee and snack to enjoy while watching. Lots of seats and friendly staff. Tables could just be a little more clean
Stopped by for a coffee and some "sugar". The carrot cake was very delicious. As a tourist in town, I got the impression this place has its local customers. The place itself had a comfy and warm vibe to it. Would I live in town and pass by reguarly, I would most likely return here. Friendly staff!
It was my first time trying gelato (I know I know, where the heck have I been?!) and I’m so glad it was here. Their pistachio was heavenly and the mango sorbet had such an awesome texture! The service from Marko (I believe, sorry if I’m totally off), the Italian store manager was incredible and super friendly. Will definitely be back asap!

I had a latte and lemon cake slice. It was delicious. The server was very polite. The location is convenient if you live on the West side. The prices are good in comparison with the quality. Some people were having a quite time connected with their computers. It will nice if was a loyalty program, perhaps it exists but I'm not aware of it. Keep the good work.

It's a nice to have second cup cafe in the rec cente, it's a very pleasant place to enjoy your coffee or quick snack. You must try the valentine's specials here. Good service
Wonderful coffee shop that serves up good coffee and tasty food! I have tried their box cakes and oat latte and really enjoyed them! The cakes are made in-house (like everything else) and make a really great treat that’s easy to take home or gift to someone!

Their menu also listed bubble tea and a bunch of other sandwiches and goodies that I must go back for. What a great addition Ruka Coffee is! If you’re looking for a new coffee shop to check out, give them a try. Their space is also nice and bright and conveniently located on E Broadway and Nanaimo!

Arlene, her husband Garry, and staff work really hard to make this a comfortable place to enjoy a pre or post work out environment. There are always smiling greetings, and polite, engaging conversation Quality coffee and eats make you want to stop here for any reason.
