Coffee was ok but the personnel was very socially retarded and rude and the food was not worth the money.

Not in love. It's a regular coffee shop. I ordered ginger espresso on a Monday morning and the staff was so rude. The coffee was way too bitter and tasted cold. Would not go back.

Montreal has been invaded by loads of independent cafes in recent years albeit HoMa still doesn't seem to have a wide variety of them yet. Enter Hoche Cafe located on Ontario just east of Pie-IX and Promenades Ontario, which is the trendy part of HoMa. It's massive and has plenty of seating. It can get very crowded though especially on weekends. Despite its size it has a cozy ambiance to it.... plus
