"yo this place blows. but thats just my two cents, take it as you will. while I see the previous reviewers points and I accept them as valid (he is right about it being a decent breakfast spot, the freshness of the food, the punky clientele et. al.) however I offer this in rebuttal:\n\noften times at Mariani the service is is lackluster. as one of the \"punky\", \"tattooed\" types who (once) patronized mariani I must say that sometimes this place is can be a bit off (no tofu in the vegan buritto, come on!). also the \"punks\" are actually in the minority of this establishments clientele. in all honesty, Mariani is basically a YUPPIE spaceship! we live in St. Henri because its cheap and were broke artists and students. with $3.50 for coffee (no refills!), organic tea served over pieces of pasta and $15 meals this is obvious. also their Tofu Scramble is NOWHERE near as good (or cheap) as Patati Patata's. one thing I sacrifice by living in St. Henri is good amenities for cheap rent. they also don't accept debit (surprising considering how posh the damn place it) I realize that reality and am willing to either travel to the plateau for good veg eats or cook myself. In order to save our neighborhood, mariani must die. \n\nJ'd\u00E9teste le caffe mariani! notre quartier n'est pas \u00E0 vendre!"^^ . . "1"^^ .
