This is a great neighbourhood coffee shop/small performance space. I have not been here for the spoken word shows or poetry readings but if you need a place to while an hour away, get some work done or read a few chapters uninterrupted, this is a great spot to do it. Doesn't have the snootiness factor of Westmount, the trendiness of Monkland Village nor the hipster man-buns of Mile End or the Plateau. It just has a super laid-back, come-as-you-are vibe. Food is vegan-oriented and they also serve alcohol (beer, wine, sangria, cider) . The servers are also really friendly. Lots of plug outlets too for your laptop!
