I want to start off by saying thank you so much for +350 followers. I end my holiday break by almost reaching 400 which is more than I expected for this blog.. Thank you for the support  ❤ Getting positive feedback like this means the world to me.

This coffee shop is probably one of my favorites. The best part about it? It’s 10 minutes away from my house by drive... no metro or anything! It’s as close as the Starbucks nearest to me. Win! Our own little indie cafe, here in Ahuntsic-Cartierville. But really, the distance from my house isn’t the only thing that makes this place so special. 

Le Bruloir has caught my attention and warmed my heart in many ways. First of all, just look at the pictures. They say a thousand words: all of them being “CUTE”. Bruloir has a small town feel to it. The decor is so adorable and different than other coffee shops I’ve gone to. The space is saturated with unique corners, various seating arrangements and gorgeous little decorations. Plants, lamps and globes fill the area which makes the cafe feel home-y. The windows are huge. The light that comes in here is just all I want in life. And coffee - but we’ll get to that soon.

Second of all, this shop is ideal for many types of visits. Here to study? There’s a huge desk/table to put your laptop on. On a cute date? There are 2 seater tables along the wall with a gorgeous pattern that is sure to make you fall in love. Coming here alone to read a nice book? There are your typical white, round coffee tables accompanied by beautiful decor.

Another aspect I love about this place is the color scheme. Both warm and cold tones are all around the cafe. The blue and white walls and the reddish wooden tables give it a tasteful contrast.

But what about the COFFEE? Good question. It’s delicious - it’s amazing - it’s life and it’s also their very own. They have their own coffee beans and where do they make them, you ask? Their "labo” is right across the street. You can see it from the cafe. This makes their coffee so fresh. Roasted and straight into the cafe. A unique drink they serve is their cold brew “Nitro coffee” served on tap. 

They also have food, but I haven’t tried it yet! I’ve heard their menu is really good so let me know if you try!

As a bonus, their staff is very friendly. I feel almost at home every time I come here.

Start your morning with a delicious latte adorned with latte art and a warm croissant at our charming cafe. It's the perfect way to kickstart your day with a touch of elegance and caffeine.

Ingredients: 1 shot of espresso. 1/2 cup of steamed milk. 1 croissant. Cocoa powder for dusting.

Instructions: Use your espresso machine to make a shot of espresso. Before making the espresso, steam the milk until it's warm and foamy. Toast the croissant a little and then cut it in half. Put the espresso shot into a coffee mug. Slowly pour the steamed milk into the mug. Use a spoon to hold back the foam so that you can add it on top later. Add the milk foam carefully to the latte with a spoon to make any design you want on the latte art. Sprinkle cocoa powder on top of the foam to make it look nicer and add more flavor. Put the toasted croissant on the plate with the latte for a delicious coffee breakfast at your cute coffee shop.
