Their coffee is really good. I got a flat white and a breakfast croissant. Then I had to get their chocolate chip cookie with an americano. Everything was 11/10.

Absolutely loved this place. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and make absolutely delicious drinks. It's a bright minimalist space with enough space that it doesn't get too crowded or loud. Delicious pastries as well. Will definitely be back.

Excellent coffee shop with a beautiful interior space and great drinks. It’s small and looks like it’s run by one person but it’s very efficient and very cool along with having some delicious coffee. The staff was really nice too. I’d definitely recommend this spot if you’re in the area.

Coming from Australia, I’m quite picky when it comes to my coffee, but Diff definitely knows whats up. Coffee and sweets are absolutely banging! I’ve tried a lot of places around the Old Montreal and this is my fav!

Great coffee, baristas are super friendly. They brought out a fresh batch of cookies and were still warm when I got there. The crust hardens perfectly in a couple hours, with a gooey center and loaded with chocolate chips.

Nicest baristas / staff working there. Coffee is pretty decent, but their scones are out of this world! Super crunchy exterior and soft and fluffy on the inside. Apparently their blueberry scones are famous. I can see why! They can heat up the scone in the oven if u like it hot as well!

Really nice spot near Square Victoria for coffee/pastries. Bright/clean atmosphere, beautiful machine, friendly service and good coffee. Closes early and on weekends which is a bit of a bummer but it’s mainly oriented to the office workers in the area. Got a cold brew which was great.
