Café de Mercanti Old Montreal

Not sure why its overrated. It was just ok. Attendants were more worried about their cellphones than taking care of customers.

(Translated by Google) Very disappointed and disappointing with the behavior of the Latina waitress and her boyfriend who spend their time laughing and being on their cell phone and making the sandwiches without washing their hands. Be a little more professional. When the boss is there everything goes very well. I won't come back (Original) Trs du et dcevant du comportement de la serveuse latina et sa chum qui passent leur temps rire et tre sur leur cellulaire et faire les sandwichs sans se laver les mains . Soyez un peu plus professionnelles ..Quand le patron est l tout se passe trs bien . Je ne reviendrais plus

Im giving 1-star to offset the unjustifiably high star rating this place has on Google Maps. Espresso is their main thing, and it was unremarkable, and they carried nothing interesting or artisanal or particular; all the food stuffs seem bought by basic suppliers. The baristas were mediocre, a tad bored and self-involved, looking at their phones, didnt even have the Euro-French snooty sophistication that can rub Canadians and Americans the wrong way but is at least an uncommon experience for tourists. The place was not well-kept: cluttered, dusty, surfaces could use a wipe down, things were a bit cluttered and confused and could use a mini Marie Kondo review, the menu items are uninspired (though a Brasiliano latte sounds cool its just a latte with chocolate and cinnamon), even the bathroom was sub-par (cheap brown industrial paper towel, no signage on the door, the door felt hollow and flimsy). The place has little in mind regarding customer experience, seems to sit on its Euro-coffeeshop vibe that feels very dated. It is all particularly upsetting given that you are in old port, and in close proximity to all sorts of very wonderful and special cafs, not sure how this place got such a high rating. Even the location and view of the window is sad; middle of grey empty street, zero greenery or old-world architecture to gaze upon.
