| - I saw that in 2016, Vogue recommended this cafe to be one of the best places to get coffee in Montréal. I will first admit.. I forgot to get coffee! I was entranced by the chai latte instead and ordered that. I had promised myself to come back for a second round simply to try their coffee, but I didn't have the time unfortunately. I will say that the chai latte I had was really tasty, which I find sometimes chai lattes lack, even though the spice should be a standout in the drink. I also ordered a grilled cheese, which I chose as a result of someone else's review. Hands down one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever purchased. I should've asked what cheese they used and what they put on their bread, because damn. It was good. It was a bit crunchy, which personally I liked, and the cheese was thick and filled the sandwich.
To be honest, however, it's Tommy's aesthetic that got me. The care looks like the inside of someone's brownstone in NYC, white with a staircase and all sorts of decor. There's a variety of furniture for desk and seating spaces. I even sat between a candy machine and a bookshelf, there are also outlets if you could spot them. It is a really great place to work, seeing that half of those inside were on laptops, typing away. The natural light is also really lovely, and there are bathrooms, which is always a plus in my book. I really wish I could return, and bring my camera to snap more shots of the beautiful interior. I'll end with a shoutout to the staff here, who switch flawlessly between french and english for customers while remaining attentive and kind. Will I return? I hope so.
