Heard good about it but was very disappointed. First they don't tell me that the chocolate is vegan then the staffs are utterly incompetent and are too lost to realize that they gave me something for free. Not to mention that the moment u eat outside u just get attacked by wasp in every corner.

Very good coffee and almond croissant. The service was fast and very polite. The staff were working very hard but stayed jovial despite the morning rush.

Very nice atmosphere, staff are friendly, pastries are super fresh and tasty and they have some gluten free options too

We went here for we were craving croissant and one of the reviewers said that this is the perfect place to be for it but it was sold out so we had to order a different item. 30 mins passed of chatting with friends, we saw customers got their croissants. Idk what happened but I kinda wish we were told but still not bad for a place to chill and catch up with friends. Would still come back.

I went to this place quite some time ago but still want to contribute here because I really like this place. Everytime I go to Montreal, for sure I will always visit this place !! Besides the food, the service are excellent and decor are clean and modern! A place discovered by a friend.. the food is really good! I cannot help it and have to come to this place for lunch two times in a row while I am in Montreal for a short vacation... i tried several items in my visits: Fish of the day is seabass - crunchy skin with soft fish meat perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The combination of the ingredient used ( like grape tomatos, grapes ...I think) gives this dish a light but flavourful taste.. very very good dish.. and for $20, wow!!!! The dish has a very well presentation too! Check out the pic. Also tried the dish with tuna - tasted very light and goes quite well with the soft boil eggs. Dessert; they are yummmmmmy!! Must try!! Not only they look great, but tasted really really good.

We really enjoyed this cafe. The decor and atmosphere are gorgeous, and food is very tasty (pastries are a bigger hit with us than main dishes but that's a matter of taste I imagine). However, keep in mind the portions are definitely on the smaller side here. Point deducted for server being snobby with us (correcting our pronunciation, making fun of the order in which we wanted our dishes out etc), although in his defence he still maintained a friendly demeanour throughout.

Disappointing. Service is very rude and unpleasant. Dessert looked amazing but was just okay. Avoid !

A great bakery & cafe! Inside was spotlessly clean & crisp, and the outside tables are great. Food is very flavorful and thoughtfully prepared - Don't forget to save room for desert and coffee!! Thank you Sebastien for a most welcoming experience.

Tried the cake with strawberry and pistachio, both so fresh, light and yummy! The almond chocolate cake is delicious! Another location for cafe Basin, rue de la Montagne; loved the pistachio tarte 🤩🤠great service 🤠 😁

Since Covid, and since the previous manager Sebastien left, the quality of the service has degraded significantly. Its unfortunate because it leaves a bad taste in your mouth, despite the food being so good. I understand finding and training staff is difficult since the pandemic, but considering the café is the chef's namesake, I hope they are working on fixing this.

Thrilled with my take out order! The twist aux framboise and latte were both really good! The flavours were on point! Can't wait to enjoy more treats from here!
