Toi, Moi et Café

Seriously disgusting! The apple cheddar caramel crêpe is a disaster. How can you make something with those ingredients and make it taste so bad??? Second time I’ve been there and won’t be returning. Honestly, I’ve never witness a service so unprofessional. Waiters laughing at customers… not even discretely. You have to arm yourself with patience because you will wait for your food longuer than acceptable. It comes out cold or not as warm as it should be.

I was here a few weeks ago after a Madeon concert in May. ANYWAYS Like other reviewers have mentioned BEST hangover cure, hands down. The coffee is amazing! I’m not a coffee connoisseur, however you can actually taste the quality of the coffee.
My breakfast was simple but delicious. I ordered a healthy style breakfast with fruits and a yogurt parfait. At the end of it all the bill was surprisingly cheap too, given the atmosphere of the café.
The reason I had to knock a star off a star was because the staff seemed overwhelmed by Sunday brunch rush. Never once asking if we needed anything. But I would go back, I love Montréal and I have yet to discover more of the Plateau

I have to say, WOWW to the coffee. Good for hangovers, cure for sleeping, it literally wakes you up within seconds. I loved it so much that I even got some for home. As an probably coffee addict, this one is the only coffee that works on me to make me alert and awake.
We went there for a really really late brunch, and I had the cosmopolite (2 eggs, choice of bagel/​and tons of toasts), ham, bacon, sausage, beans, potatoes, fruits! It seems like its huge, but its not that big portion, but its not small either. The price for what you get is pretty good I’d say. The reason i gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that their service was not good, the waiter was very slow, and everything took time. Nevertheless, I’d still go back here for the coffee and food.

I enjoy the rich coffee collection they have and the wonderful coffee taste. This is a unique café’ in Montréal

I’ve been to the Toi, Moi et Café near Atwater, and I was happy to find another location on this trip to Montréal, close to where we were staying. The patio is narrow and intimate, but offers a nice view of the street with awnings to help beat the heat.
Service is good, food is great, coffee is outstanding. I’d be a regular if I lived in the neighbourhood!

Excellente place sur Laurier Ouest, au cœur du Mile End. Une grande terrasse abritée pour les grosses chaleurs, un service rapide, des assiettes (très) copieuses et un café délicieux.
A la carte des brunchs classiques: bénédictines, gaufres, crêpes, œufs… servis avec une plus que généreuse portion de fruits frais et patates rôties.
Un peu loin de chez nous mais j’y reviendrais avec plaisir, cette partie de Laurier est une mine d’or pour le magasinage et la nourriture.

Great breakfast– cook refuses to do hard boiled eggs or poached hard eggs… That was frustrating– but once breakfast arrived me and my crowd were pleased!

What a cool little café in what is probably the hippest and liveliest neighborhood in Montréal. I was in very high spirits prior to walking into this café: the weather was absolutely beautiful and I was coming off of a long bike ride around this part of the city. I pulled over once I saw people eating and sipping coffee on the outdoor patio, so I knew I had to stop in. The people working here were very nice and helpful, and were ok with me taking a table to myself outside when all I wanted was to drink a cup of coffee and enjoy the nice day. After sitting, I wish that I hadn’t just eaten because the food here looked incredible– particularly the eggs benedict. I may stop in for a meal before I leave.

Yesterday Mom & I went for brunch and it was the exception not the rule. It was pretty dead. Few servers and they were not on their game. Despite or perhaps due to the lack of a crowd service was way slower than usual.

Three reasons why I can’t give it more stars:
1) With the Sunday morning rush my food was sloppily place upon my plate and served to me. It did not look appealing.
2) Their inability to control how customers arranged seating during Sunday rush. By the end of my meals I was bumping elbows with a group who squeezed in. The server apologized to me afterward.
3) With the Sunday rush no one asked me if I needed anything, if my meal tasted alright. I was served and left with the bill. That happens to me at McDonalds.
Why did I give stars:
1) The environment is awesome and it feels like a real café.
2) Friendly staff. If it was not the Sunday rush I’m sure I would have been taken care of very well.
3) Despite the presentation of my food it was delicious.

Quite poor. We came looking for a quaint French back fast place, this is a lowly American greasy breakfast hog feed (like Eggspectations) but expensive. Terrible

I had the lemon pie and it tasted amazing.

Definitely not what I expected, I always thought this place did coffee with some paninis and side dishes, like Presse Café or Café Depot.
This is more of a standard resto that serves steaks, pastas and fish.
Seeing as how there are many coffee shops nearby, they have to offer a bit more than the others.
But there“s also people that come for coffee and dessert only and sit there with their laptops for hours. The place is a bit small and packed, there were only 2 – 3 waiters on a Saturday.
The food was above average, the Bison Burger with Brie Cheese ($ 12) was very filling, I didn’t eat for the rest of the day. It came with a bit of potatoes and a limp green salad. My friend had pasta with chicken Kiev (14), which came with some vegetables, the chicken was a bit dry, but the dish overall was quite good.
Now, onto the coffee: The Cappuccino was heavenly, amazing and under $ 3, this places specializes in coffee.
At first glance, the food menu can look expensive, but it’s actually not that bad considering what you get, and it’s in a pretty upscale part of town, classy stuff.

I’ve only been there for tea (so far — but after one look at the dessert case, I definitely plan to return!) but they’ve got a wonderful selection of unusual coffee and tea concoctions, including «banana split mocha», coffees and teas with alcohol in them (grand marinier, frangelico, amaretto, etc.), a choose-​your-​own-​flavor steamed milk or soda, the list went on and on. I didn’t give it 5 stars only because the service was a bit negligent, but nothing that would prevent me from returning again soon.

Beginning first with le café, something the French Canadians certainly do better than the French French, Toi Moi et Café would start the visit off right as we arrived from Ottawa low on caffeine but with big plans for the day. A small café near to our lunch destination of La Chronique I entered TmeC with modest expectations only to be greeted by a wall of coffees and teas plus pastries, sandwiches, and soups made to order. Decidedly Francophone in dialect I approached the coffee counter with a bit of trepidation only to find ordering simple as they had one of my favorite beans on roast — a rich Ethiopian Harrar full or deep earthy notes and sweet cocoa tones for $ 2 that would lead to me returning two days later to pick up two pounds for the ride home.

Et en été, belle découverte des laits frappés, de vrais desserts bien préparés et copieux; Des biscotti extra grands. Et des assiettes brunch, copieuses et fraîches.

Comme tous les autres Toi, Moi et Café en ville, celui-​ci n’est pas si différent. Un bon endroit pour manger un brunch, même en plein milieu de semaine. Par contre, j’aime beaucoup le décor et l’éclairage de cet endroit en particulier. La terrasse qui est couverte de neige en ce moment me fait rêver de l’été. Si vous avez lu mes autres avis, vous savez qu’en ce moment, terrasse rime avec été et j’ai vraiment, vraiment, vraiment hâte que la chaleur revienne!
J’y ai été pour une courte rencontre donc je n’ai pris qu’un café, un latte, et il en valait la peine. Habituellement, je trouve que les cafés dans les chaîné sont «so-​so», mais Toi, Moi et Café est une des rares exceptions. Il est super bon, corsé sans avoir d’acidité en arrière goût. Et j’adore les tasses, surtout le bol qui a une poignée, un peu comme une tasse ordinaire de proportion géante! Le service est très bien et on remplissait nos verres d’eau assez régulièrement que je me suis arrêtée à moitié chemin en route pour la maison pour me trouver une toilette tellement on m’a tenue bien hydratée!

We were quite cold and hungry and hoped to find a place to thaw our toes at Toi et Moi. We arrived at 3 pm and thus just in between the brunch and regular menu times, and food was a little hard to come by. In the end we had to wait over an hour for simple dishes (soup & hot dog). The food was quite nice, so was the coffee and tea. But the long wait and having to remind the service repeatedly of our existence makes this only three stars.

Good food, service slightly rude and long (took ~15min to get water and order taken), however it was a busy Sunday brunch– so maybe they were stressed. Just wish they wouldn’t take it out on customers:).

My favourite breakfast spot in all of Montréal. The food is consistently good, the coffee is delcious, and it has a nice atmosphere. The best time to go is in the summer when you can sit outside on the terrace.

Such a pleasant place for brunch! They have great brunch dishes and large selection of coffee. The please usually nicely packed, with laid back patrons with their cup of coffee reading newspaper or thick Satre. The seating is tight, but cozy.
The food came in large plates, enough to really cramp the small table for two. The savory dish we ordered came with over cooked veggie, and dead poached apple, the sweet chocolate crepes loaded with whipped cream. Strangely they were great!

I enjoyed this quaint and moody café. It also has a distinctly French vibe, which is great, especially if you’re visiting. They have a delicious menu that’s very affordable for the area. I’d recommend choosing one of their specials since they come with several other courses and a hot drink at the end. The menu items are often healthy and sometimes creative in concoction. And if you’re a coffee fiend, you’ll love this place since they roast their own coffee beans and a lot of their selection is fair trade.
This is a great place to go for a late supper with friends or brunch with someone you’ve been wanting to catch up with.

Stopped into Toi, Moi et Café on a Friday night because we were early for our dinner reservations. I had heard they have the best coffee in town. Unfortunately, i am not a coffee drinker and it actually HURT that i couldn’t order an «Honore de Balzac» brew.
The lights were just the right soft-​yellow. The wait staff was friendly, helpful and bilingual. I HATE when a waitress gets all flabberghasted when i ask «what would you recommend with that?» Rather, she gave me a breakdown of the benefits of each option. I appreciate when an employee has actually eaten the place’s offerings.
Toi, Moi et Café has real food. We didn’t order it. Instead, we got a The Laurier (Black Tea, Grand Marnier and Fragelico with whipped cream on top). The whipped cream was PERFECT. We compared the taste to Christmas gatherings. It was smooth and decadent.
We opted for a chocolate-​dipped biscotti from their many options. I love the texture of biscotti and this one was just right. Unfortunately, chocolate-​dipped means only about two inches of a rather long biscotti. A little more chocolate would have been nice. It was not the best biscotti, but it was a good one.
The chairs were comfortable, the tables clean and not woobly.
I recommend.
