| - It took us a while, my husband and I, to discover Arts Café, but once we tried it, we decided it was one of the best coffee shops in the city and proceeded to return as frequently as possible, in spite of the distance that separates us, Sud-Ouest dwellers, from the feisty Mile-End neighborhood.
Tastefully decorated and with walls filled with a fair collection of interesting and colorful art and design books, as well as manifestos, Arts Café is zen and inviting, harboring a serene atmosphere whether one visits it in the early morning or the late evening.
49th Parralel supplies their espresso and all the espresso, macchiato and latte they've served us so far have been perfect.
We've also had the pleasure of trying their cheddar and raspberry scones, served with a side of fresh cream. Until I had Arts Café's scones, I felt very neutral about scones in general. I now know what a scone is supposed to taste like; buttery, fluffy, soft and tasty goodness. All the other scones sold in the city now seem sub-par in comparison!
Arts Café is a haven, and in my humble opinion, one of Mile-End's best coffee establishments.
