| - During three days in Montreal, I visited this café 7 times. Yes, 7. Because I have children, and this is the only place they would eat. They loved it. Granted, part of the reason they love it is that it has three stories, and going up and down stairs while inside a café seems to have a certain appeal. The top floor seemed "secret" and mysterious and had beanbaggy chairs (lots of windows up there, so not "secret" in a creepy way).
The croissants were fabulous. The coffee was, too. One kid had decaf lattes which were amazing and served in very large bowls. Actually beautiful. The other had hot cocoa, also served with fresh steamed milk, not made with hot water & a mix. Really, really good.
It seemed expensive, but the US dollar was weak during our visit, so I can't say much about that.
The staff, young & chic though they were, were equally tolerant of my young children, my middle-aged self (sigh) and my bad French. Also they secretly are all fluent in English, if you're in a pinch...
Found it thanks to a tip from a Montreal native, and I'm so glad I did!
