Cafe chai — Restaurant in Montreal

Word of advice: Although the pastries, drinks and overall atmosphere is really great, I wish the owner would let customers be! I've had many experiences, as my friends have as well, where the owner asked us to move tables for other customers. He doesn't let individuals take the red tables, and uses the fake reservation excuse that another review mentioned. There's been a few instances where he's asked me to separate my table to make room for others. I understand where he's coming from, but I honestly believe these things are best communicated between customers, as it feels passive aggressive coming from him. I really would visit more if I didn't feel so watched as a customer. And when I buy pastries, he mentions that I can only stay for an hour, unless I buy a drink. No other coffee shop confronts customers in this manner, for good reason! Overall, I'm giving 4 stars because I genuinely like this place and just want to let the owner know how I, and my friends, feel about his demeanor and how it can change for the better....

I recommend it to friends whenever possible. Also, since they're connected to El Mundo, you can buy food at El Mundo and eat it in the lounge (El Mundo is also quite nice by the way). Go buy a pot of tea and try a cupcake. It will put you in a good mood for the rest of your day. Don't forget to tip your...

This place is a pretty good spot to kill some time with tea or coffee and pastries in the afternoon. It seems very popular with students and their laptops. The interior is a bit crowded (the furniture is somewhat oversized), but quite confortable.

As far as the food and drinks are concerned, we tried the matcha latte and the chai latte and both were nice. We also had the raspberry scone, the oreo cupcake and the salted caramel macaron. Only the macaron was a standout, everything else was fine but...
