| - Charmingly delicious about sums it up.
Myriade is a fantastic cafe just around the corner from the Guy-Concordia metro. Their espresso drinks are close to perfection, and their drip coffee is bold and complex (and the filter coffee, served in their pseudo-Sovietique coffee mugs, makes you feel like a badass drinking it). The pastries are phenomenal.
So why only four stars? The space is far too "cozy" for my tastes. The seating is quite limited, and even though there's no wifi or power outlets to entice the MacBook-wielding table-leeching students (oh, I know, I'm one of them too...) more than once I've had to stand awkwardly to the side with my coffee and belongings, anxiously waiting for someone to make motions of packing up so I can claim their table before the next guy.
Then, there's the tiptoed two-step of trying to squeeze into the newly-opened seat without dumping your coffee on someone's computer or person, or projecting your derriere into their personal space while trying to put your things in order. And then, remember, no power outlets, no wifi. Great for avoiding Facebook, not so great for...well...checking Facebook.
But, delicious. And charming. And delicious.
