Très bien! I passed this tiny hole-in-the wall on my way from the train to my AirBNB after a long day of travel to Montreal, but it was closed for the day. It's like the coffee shop version of Harry Potter's broom cupboard under the stairs! I went back today and caught the owner returning from a quick lunch run with a sandwich. He greeted me in French, and when I didn't understand and asked if he spoke English, he responded, "Oui. How's it going?" :) He was very friendly, and when I told him this was my first day in Montreal, he gave me his recommendations for the Vietnamese sandwich shop around the corner and also filled me in on all the happenings this weekend. Oh, and he also made a great iced americano.
Who knew such a tiny, easy-to-miss gem would be such a great resource. Stop in if you need a caffeine fix (or local recommendations). Merci, sir!
