Yes! Quality beans, handsome sorta business-hipsterish patrons, almond milk and freshly baked goods. Exactly what I needed to pick up en route to the office after a very short night (seriously, who in their right mind would go out for drinks on a Sunday night?).
My almond latté was A+. I just wish it came in a bigger format for extra rough mornings. I also picked up a raisin cinnamon brioche and a chocolate chip cookie (for afternoon cravings. Also, just because it looked AMAZING and sorta gooey!). Considering that the brioche was devoured in probably less than 120 seconds, I can safely say that it truly hit the spot.
I loved the industrial feel of the place, but it's definitely not the kind of café where you would spend the whole day, trying to get work done. And you know what? That's just perfect, too. There's nothing worse than hitting a crowded café where students have taken over and you can't even find a seat to eat a bite for 5 minutes before you're on your way to more incredible adventures in this crazy life!
Now that Art Java on President-Kennedy has closed down (RIP), this spot will probably become my regular coffee place whenever I'm working in Montreal :)
