| - What a real treat to come here! Didn't really know where to park to come here, but, parked on St-Laurent/Bernard and the walk to come here was worth it. Took in the scenery of the park and graffiti art. Just too bad that it's closed on the weekends :(.
Have been wanting to come here for ages and luckily a buddy of mine who came to town, who is also a coffee freak, have been wanting to go too, and once we got in - we were thrilled!
We wanted to try their food, had arrived a bit too early before the lunch hour, but we were able to put in our order anyway, and was served the food at exactly 11:30am. Ordered the onigri pork and daikon salad, with a cold drip coffee. Friend got the pork sandwich with a (potato?) soup, and house tea. He said he liked it. It was too bad I only got the one onigri - I was discouraged to go back in line again because once it got to lunch time, the line was just out the door...but, I'm sure the line moved quick tho' ;). The rice was perfectly soft, but solid enough to hold the pork yumminess inside. Once the saltiness and familiar taste of char siu hit my lips, it was gold. The salad was fresh too. The vinegar was light and was real appetizing. We sat by the high chairs facing out the windows - it was great to people watch (mostly hipsters in 90's clothing that brought me back to the days listening to Crystal Waters and any dance music basically...). And yes, the coffee was pretty ok too.
The washrooms are outside of the place - they're through a hallway connected to the building that the resto was situated in - still on the ground floor.
Next time, I'd like to spend the day in the hammock for one!
