Incredibly close to Notre Dame basilica, yet passed by the hordes of tourists, this place has better coffee and prices that should put to shame the nearby Starbucks. Not an atmosphere that would attract trendy folks and not a Mac air to be seen during our visit, but the muffin was great and the latte excellent.

I had read about this place in advance and wrote it in my notebook. We were on a walking tour of the city on our first day in Montreal and our tour guide took us here to get some lunch and warm up from the sub-freezing weather. A very nice selection of goodies. I would go back.

Very friendly staff, great food. Meats were not pre-cooked. Everything was prepared at the moment. Reasonable portions and good prices.

Loved the food, great service. Love the lattes and the selection of fresh and delectable food. Will definitely stop in here again.

We arrived in Montreal today and were a little overwhelmed with the French language and snow. We found our way to espace and were amazed at the great food, service and prices. We will make this a regular stop each day.

John's knowledge and passion for his craft shows in every cup of coffee they serve. The staff is top notch and they always have a friendly word or greeting. :-) The wide range of... More

We loved this place so much we had to go back there all mornings during our stay in Montreal. Its location is great: quite close to Notre Dame. The coffee (latte, espresso) was definately the best we had in Canada and the sandwichs are insane: prepared with high quality ingredients in creative combinations. The family who runs the place is... More
