I love finding spots that have healthy food options and coffees with oat milk and maple syrup as sweetener (it's actually so rare to find)!
Here are a few places I love going to:
Aloha
A go-to for smoothie bowls. They are the best in the city. They’re thick, fresh and filling. Nothing is worse than having a smoothie bowl that’s liquidy and containing zero fresh ingredients. They also have poke bowls, sandwiches, smoothies, so many coffees with the option of your favorite nut milk and syrup.
La Panzeria
This is a MUST try for everyone. They’re famous for their octopus sandwich and focaccias. But, no matter what you get you won’t be disappointed. The owners came straight from Bari, Italy, two years ago, so they know what they’re doing!
Sapori il giretto
Their coffee is so delish. They also offer nut milks (no maple syrup only honey). Apart from that they make delicious sandwiches with focaccia bread. Not to mention, they’re massive! It’s a super cute place located in Laval.
Cafe ferlucci
I love this place mainly because they are located in a nice area and welcome our little fur babies! They’ll welcome your pet with treats while you wait to get your order. Their coffees are so yummy. They have this Nutella latte that tastes incredible and isn’t overly sweet. Once you get your coffee you can walk around and go visit other local shops.
Barley
This place has been a favorite of mine for a few years now. I love their brunch menu. The matcha pancakes are out of this world along with their toasts. They make these insane coffees and lattes. I don’t know what they put inside to make them so good but they’re also not full of crap.
I’ve been to these places a few times and have tried a few things on their menus, they're at the top of my list. So many other cafes have opened in Montreal and I can’t wait to try them. Definitely creating a “To-go” list in my notes!
