Been here a couple of times already. Are the cookies expensive? Yes. But are they worth it? TOTALLY. Consider this a little well-deserved treat from time to time, that's what I tell my wallet. Took the matcha latte once – not worth the price in my opinion. Take a regular coffee instead.

The folks here are super friendly and helpful. The man helping me gave a few recommendations, and I ended up getting the Mason and the Tory. Mason: It was LOADED with chocolate chips (SORRY TO OFFEND, but there was just a tad too many, sometimes the gooeyness of the chocolate overshadowed the cookie part). The flavor was great, there was a hint of cinnamon in the cookie that set it apart from other choco chip cookies. But I think the best part was the walnuts. They tasted better than any walnuts I've ever had. The cookie was a bit raw around the chocolate chips and walnuts though, I would've liked it more if it were a little more done in those areas. Tory: This cookie was pretty much the combination of every single form of chocolate you can think of, and each component was done so well. The salted caramel chocolate on top, the chocolate chips, the chocolate cookie itself The ganache stole the show though, it really deserves applause. Bernice absolutely nailed the texture with the cookies. Both were really really crispy on the outside and still extremely moist and gooey inside. The cookies here are HEAVY, both in weight and in flavor. It will absolutely annihilate your sugar craving (even with just half the cookie), but you'll be very very satisfied.

The cookies are amazing! I was surprised at how chewy and gooey there were!! Pretty expensive though. I took 5 cookies and it cost me 30$

Absolutely the best cookies I’ve tasted in Montreal! The texture is just perfect: crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside—a real treat. The price might seem a bit high considering the size, but it’s definitely worth it for an occasional indulgence. A little tip: if you have any leftovers at the end of the day, consider offering them on the TooGoodToGo app to reduce waste.

Cozy spot with the most delicious pastries and drinks! The cinnamon roll was INCREDIBLE! The owner was also super friendly and explained their drinks menu, from which you can order anything in a Frappuccino format. We had a matcha Frappuccino and a chai Frappuccino and both were delicious. Also the cookies are excellent. Can’t wait to go back

Outstanding Service and Delicious Pastries! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Their excellent service truly stood out! There was a great variety of pastries, and everything looked delicious. I decided to try a brioche with cheese, ham, and bacon. It was so good that I had to order another one right away! I also bought two cookies and a croissant, and everything was of exceptional quality. Beyond the amazing food and coffee, what really made a difference was the outstanding service. The staff was genuinely friendly, making the place feel even more cozy and inviting. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Insane how delicious everything was! We got greedy and ordered more than what we could eat, and we don't regret it one bit. The cookies were heavenly and generous in size and there were large chunks of chocolate chips. The coffee cake was simultaneously dense and moist, a rare yet perfect combination. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, that dirty matcha really hit the spot by cutting the sweetness with its bitter-y matcha flavored warmth, coating the bites of cookies and cake. I was thirsty on my way out so grabbed an iced tea to go, and it was the best iced tea I ever had: sweet and slightly sour. Yum! Definitely coming back to try other things! ;)
