This half of a lovely high-ceilinged industrial-type building was renovated and turned into a darling little coffee shop that smells just like Italy and serves the best cappuccinos in the area.
Mostly populated by what seem to be McGill students and some resident hipsters tapping away on their laptops, the space is not devoid of outlets, making it easy for you to plug in and get some work done on a rainy afternoon -- or, well, any other afternoon of the year.
To come here in the morning and order something at the counter, listen to the tapping and whirring of their wonderful Mirage espresso machine, take in a whiff of the deliciously homey ground coffee beans, sit on a high stool at the window, and people-watch on Park Avenue, this place appeals to all the senses. Did I mention their great-tasting cappuccinos?
