Fabulous coffee in a forgettable but somehow charming ground floor storefront across from the Concordia library. This shop is the mothership of a Montreal coffee empire, sharing ownership with the also fabulous Pikolo. The customer flow is constant but the line moves at a decent clip. I dearly miss coming here for a coffee after the gym; it was probably my favourite place to be in downtown Montreal before I moved away. No wifi (since the start), which is counterintuitively a trend in this student- and laptop-heavy city. Nothing rivals their coffee between Pikolo and Tunnel to the east and Melk to the west.
