Coffee: Café Myriade and Vasconia Boulangerie

The coffee at Myriade is actually quite a well-known coffee shop around the city. I believed it was the first third wave coffee shop in Montreal, and it is amazing. This was one of the very first place I saw high quality foam art, and not only is it pretty, it is actually a really good cappuccino/macchiato. Sitting on the terrace, sipping on this coffee, looking the people passing by, enjoying the weather, was clearly one of the funnest activity to do in this city. I love this coffee shop.

Vaconia Boulangerie

Vasconia is special, because it is technically not a coffee shop, it is Colombian bakery.
The coffee was solid, but I would have love it more if it was a tad less foamy.
The mango juice was a fruity delight. Light, tasty, not too sweet. I would order during the summer if I am in the area. Really good.
 Baked Goods: 3 Cheese Bun and a Cheese Croissant
The croissant, like a lot of the South American croissant that I experienced, is actually a little bit sweeter than their french version. It is softer too. I actually like it a lot, it is really close in texture to the cake-like consistency of a Italian cornetto, and it is deliciously filling. The cheese bun was delicious. Full of flavour and it had a really interesting texture, one that can only be achieve if corn flour was used. I would a few baked goods to go next time.
