This is one of the best cafés in the Mile End, and I'm a frequent visitor. They have reliable, stable, and free wifi, excellent espresso, and food that's far above decent, even if it is a tad on the pricey side. The all-day live-music performances and vintage décor lend an ambiance that's apt for conversation, people-watching, or individual work. My only regret about this place is that it closes at 6pm.
