| - The "white" cafe's got its good points in Atmosphere, Service, and Food
Atmosphere: Cafe Nocochi's has two prime attractions, it's location / decor and its pastries. Nocochi is located on the conner of Sherbrooke and MacKay streets, right along the line of the high-end arts area of Sherbrooke street, which harks back to day when that area of Montreal used to be called the Golden Mile due to the riches it housed. The decor is simple, clean, and egg-shell white (hence its nickname). Very comfy seating, and arranged in such a way that conversations can still be intimate despite the relatively small size of the cafe.
Service: Service is ok at cafe Nocochi. Staff is usually made up of the local student population (Concordia University), and they tend to be pleasant and polite. In truth, however, not much service is required aside from the staff bring orders to the tables, thus minimal interaction with the staff further solidifies the ambiance as a place one goes for a quite time!
Food: Nothing special here - standard issue cafe menu is on offer with a selection of sandwiches, small pizzas etc. Sometimes a hit and miss, depending on the cook's effort of the day, but most often there are more hits than misses. Go to Nocochi for a quite cup of coffee / tea and to sample their pastries (Iranian / French). This is the biggest reason why you should visit. They also sell their pastries to go in elaborate boxes and combinations, and these make for a terrific gift at the last minute. A little pricy, but their presentation and taste gives them an aura of value that is always appreciated.
for a quite, tranquil time ~ a good place.
