Olive et Gourmando
Very yummy and hip, but often too crowded for its own good.Olive et Gourmando (351 St. Paul West) is another Seattle/Paris blend place. This is an excellent cafe with great coffee and delicious pastry! It is unfortunate that the staff is miserably rude, the ordering system confusing, and it’s always crowded. It’s been written up in so many guides that it’s become too popular to provide the good service and good atmosphere it ought to have.

It was our first time in Montreal and we went to Olive for breakfast everyday. We loved the pastries and sandwiches. The atmosphere is so lively and you don’t only see tourists, the locals eat there as well. I have been all around the world and i must say the croissants and the coffee are world class.
