Cute cafe on Rue St Denis in the Plateau area of Montreal. The gentleman who served us was very knowledgeable about coffee, beans, brewing etc, and even though they were closing up for the day he took time to chat. The first question was what type of machine we had and then what type of roast we liked. He gave a couple of suggestions and we bought a bag of their Francaise Noir blend and Imperial blend.
We returned the next day after visiting the Jardine Botanique. We ordered americanos which were smooth but not as robust or dark as we usually liked. The atmosphere was very casual and relaxed, people working on their laptops, others on the patio catching up with friends. Great place to hang out on a sunny afternoon.
