What customers say?

“ I was pleasantly surprised by the Montreal bagel that I received when I ordered the sesame bagel! Very yum! Although the quality of my black tea which was orange pekoe could be better. I give the tea a 2 star. They had skim milk which was awesome! Brown sugar was also available. The place was nice and comfortable. It’s like a coffee place by day and bar by night. It could be nice if I go out with friends who want to drink alcohol and I want to drink something non-alcoholic. ”

“ Adorable eclectic little spot for Starbucks like drinks but better! Big Mugs Fun for people watching.. we went in the early afternoon and wasn’t too busy! Comfy seats, milk alternatives and YES gluten free ! Have a 4 star because there was an issue with payment and computer but the young women working were very kind and helpful! London Fog, Oak milk Lattes with Vanilla, Gluten free Oat cake and Spinach Feta pastry all very good! ”

“ Absolutely delicious pork belly bagel , salmon bagel not bad as well. Latte coffee light and well proportioned. Those who want stronger coffee taste should ask for a second shot. ”
