| - So from the looks of it, I am not the only one that has experienced the exact same rudeness as previous visitors. I've walked by this shop many times and there is always a display of big, tasty looking pastries, and bags of St-Viateur bagels if the Mile End is too far for you. This week though, I actually stopped in front of the shop to look to see what they had in-store that day since I was craving something sweet. I was barely at the window for 5 seconds when the lady working in the shop said something what I assumed was rude based on tone and facial expression, but I chose to ignore it and gave her the benefit of the doubt and the glass window in between us. However, a couple of hours after that, I thought I might get something; this time she was standing outside with her flip-phone, chatting with whomever, which is fine, it's been lovely weather, enjoy it. I walked passed her to see what she had in the shop, she immediately takes out this small sign and says to me "no phones, no games in here" - I assume she thought I was playing Pokemon-go but all I was doing was holding my phone like a clutch-purse and the screen wasn't even on. She asked "What do you want?" and I asked "is this chocolate babka? How much is it?" and in her continued rude-tone, she says "$4.50." At this point, I was fed up. On two separate occasions on the same day, you were rude to me for no reason. I should have just taken a long walk to the Mile End to get chocolate babka from Cheskie Boulangerie where it's super fresh and there isn't a bunch of flies flying around the pastries. Don't waste your time coming here, the lady is really impolite and you can probably get better pastries a few doors down, that are cheaper, not worth the experience. If having phones in your shop upsets you that much, have a visible sign taped to your window. I've never had a bad experience in Montreal - thanks Ana Meilleure Cuisine for being the first in the last 5 years I've been living in the city
