Café OUI MAIS NON — Restaurant in Montreal

strict rules you wouldn’t even know about if it’s your first time there.

A staff member saw a drink of mine and gave me two options: they can take my drink away and keep it till i leave the coffee shop or throw it away. I thought he was joking at first because he had a serious face for a simple thing. But then i hesitantly tell him he can put it away and keep it but then he walks away with my drink while saying he’s gonna throw it away.

I wouldn’t have even tried to bring in a drink if i knew there were these strict rules and wouldn’t be writing this if they had mentioned the rules and/or asked me to leave but no they threw away my 7$ drink that i had just bought...

A variety of seating space, we'd like to try something different next time. There's street parking outside which is generally available. Definitely...

Its a great cafe overall: good nourishing food, delicious drinks, and lovely decor. I just wish the music wasn't so loud and so weird - like a whole heavy rock playlist at a cafe? Come on, you can do better. People around me had to yell over the music to talk to each other, which further made it an uncomfortable environment.

I sometimes go to cafés to get some work done, so i appreciate that this cafe has created many different nooks. but the music could really make or break whether I'd visit again.

Suggestion: put on an instrumental, soft playlist and keep the volume at a...
