With its beautiful yellow window and the aromas of good coffee coming from the place, it is not necessary to cross the door of the hotel. A trendy room made of raw materials, a team all smiles, homemade breakfasts all day, health salads and sandwiches and dishes of the day to fill the biggest appetites is the Kettle Black, and much more!

We love this coffee shop located not far from Danforth Avenue. We love the look of the place with some retro items, the kindness of the employees and, especially, the coffee that is prepared with love thanks to the La Pavoni machine, a guarantee of quality. To accompany your espresso or cortado, the team concocts homemade delicacies such as scones, muffins, pastries, cookies, etc. To top it off, the coffee shop has a penchant for the visual arts and organizes discussions with artists in addition to displaying works of art on its walls.

Putting a café in a laundromat, that's what we call combining business with pleasure! One of the few laundromats in the neighborhood, and not just any laundromat. While your laundry is spinning in one of the self-service machines, you can enjoy a delicious coffee with a carefully selected blend or a dish made by the Italian chef. Every day, the room is scented with fresh market produce, so it doesn't smell so much like a laundry room. The big plus: the garden in summer, and you don't need to have laundry to come!

This friendly café offers a wide range of coffees, to be enjoyed in the dining room or on the terrace, or to take away. The place is warm and inviting, with a number of different objects and artifacts as decoration. At the start of the day, opt for the Brise du Matin (breakfast), served daily until 11am. Then it's on to the à la carte menu, featuring salads, gourmet sandwiches, pizzas on naan bread, mac & cheese and other delicacies. To be accompanied by a Gaspesian beer, of course!

A nice café, not far from the waterfront, Tamp Coffee offers a nice selection of hot drinks and clever mixes for coffee cocktails.

The team behind this micro-torreactor strives to source its supplies from the source by visiting one of its producers every year. It also carries out private imports and collaborates with cooperatives in different coffee-growing regions of the world.

The café, opened in 2022, has already undoubtedly its place in the neighborhood. The retro decoration is composed with second hand furniture. The atmosphere is soft and warm. The menu presents many creations to drink as varied as original such as the coconut coffee or even the mango coffee. The sweet snacks are unfortunately not made on the spot but they come from Montreal pastry shops and bakeries. You can spend a pleasant moment in one of the sofas, surrounded by plants and antiques.

Housed in a beautiful ancestral home, Bonté Divine is the best place in town to enjoy a coffee prepared according to the rules of the art.

Housed in the former convent of the Petites Franciscaines de Marie, and next door to the Auberge des Balcons, this coffee shop is our best bet for a good start to the day.

A true gourmet tradition, it offers a superb selection of teas, including fair trade and/or organic, but also infusions, cocktails and even decaffeinated teas. As far as delicacies are concerned, the great classics are on the menu: tasty scones, home-made pastries, small sandwiches, etc. And what about the two superb rooms where you can enjoy everything!

We love this café in the lively street of Kensington, installed in a pretty turquoise house typical of the neighborhood. Quite a contrast with the Scandinavian-inspired interior. In summer, you can enjoy its beautiful terrace. In winter, its large bay window allows us to observe, in the warmth, the colorful crowd of Kensington Market. The coffees and pastries are excellent, as well as the sweets that make you want to overindulge (mention the Mardi Gras Semla). A nice little place to get away from the bustle of the neighborhood.

Definitely our best place in Windsor for coffee. Anchor sources coffee from Canadian roasters including Chance Coffee (Windsor, Ontario), Monogram and Phil & Sebastian (Calgary, Alberta).

Accessories and coffees for sale on site and online.

Open for about 15 years, this coffee shop is a classic in the area, located just in front of the beautiful Trinity Bellwoods Park. The place attracts coffee lovers, of course, as the coffee is certified organic and fair trade. Its other flagship product is Greg's ice cream, available in a dozen delicious flavors. For a snack, the place prepares homemade pastries and sweets, breakfast sandwiches, empanadas and other small dishes.

Nice and bright neighbourhood café with a family and artistic atmosphere, close to the Saint-Jacques market. It was named in honor of the famous Lebanese vegan cake made of wheat semolina, scented with turmeric and decorated with pine nuts. This speciality goes wonderfully well with hot drinks, always served with good humour. The slate also displays simple and tasty dishes: sweet or savoury toasts, soups and salads, and all kinds of sweets. On weekends, the Lebanese brunch plate is succulent.

Clearly a café that stands out from the others with its fairground themed concept that can be felt in all four corners of the place: an old roller coaster car at the entrance, small cabins for young and old, video games in a small lounge, colors everywhere and even a haunted house in the toilets. Food on the go, sandwiches, wraps, paninis and grilled cheese, chili, soups and a few sweets on the menu, including the vegan brownie, not to mention the range of hot and cold drinks, with or without alcohol. To be discovered!
