First thing you'll notice is that it is such a beautiful shop - full of art, flowers and antiques. The staff were kind and helpful even to coffee beginners. I tried the Christine (an iced peanut butter cup latte) which was top notch. Definitely recommend and will be coming back!

What an astonishing little pearl! I had delicious ham sandwich and a croissant. It was fresh and tasty. The coffee was amazing, outstanding cappuccino fresh and full of taste. The place itself look like a museum, very pleasant and enjoyable. Prices relatively cheap, but the atmosphere is far beyond expected.

The atmosphere is so cute & fun! I got a medium roast vanilla irish cream cold brew and it was lovelyyy. They put little stickers on the to-go cups with sayings on them and it made my day. This was my first time here & i will definitely be coming again. Also the owner (seemed like the owner or manager) is the sweetest lady

This is a gem! Great drinks and food. The Sophie(strawberry coconut matcha) is delish. Super friendly staff. The ice cream is next level! They also have non-alcoholic canned drinks.

Stopped in here on a bicycle trip from Winnipeg. St Malo is not a big town, and it would be very easy to miss this place, so I'm glad we found it. The patio is south facing to let you soak in the morning sun, with a pergola for shade. Plenty of space for bike parking and guest seating. Inside you are met with all sorts of antique furniture and artwork, making for a warm and inviting room. The staff were incredibly pleasant and helpful. I had already had 2 coffees that morning, so I ordered a breakfast sandwich instead. My friend had the bagel and iced coffee. All items were excellent. I will be back again to try more items, but also to support such a wonderful small town business. The charm sticks with you.

Me and my favourite girls went to this place for girls day and oh boy was the food/coffee ever good. I got a bagel with dill pickle and iced coffee latte with strawberry something I forgot what it was called and oh man it was good. This place is very aesthetic too!! 10/10 recommend!!
