If you're reading this, don't spend a dime there!!We went there for the first time assuming that the sign says 1944 and it's been in business for such a long time so it must be good. Honestly we try to support local businesses as we like to see local, family, and old business in the neighborhood.We asked the lady how big a pancake is andshe started answering in a Harsh and Rude way.She kept yelling at us this is a restaurant and nota coffeeshop!!! (How is that relevant?), to the point that we couldn't take it anymore and she kept yelling at us even though I was at the cash trying to pay for the order that we didn't even had on our table yet.She was full of anger and we still don't knowwhy, as we just asked for the size of the food portion and if the Backlavas are fresh.She is a racist, she said that you people are allthe same ( referring to our nationality) and need to learn good behavior. She called us newcomers and said you don't know anything as if there's something wrong with being a newcomer (we've been here for a couple of decades).She is full of anger, does not have professional behavior and is a racist. She doesn't have the skills to calmly take a customer's order and sell a cup of coffee.

Yes I've read many reviews stating that this café is not great,etc ,etc ,etc... but I love it. My friends love it. It is not a big commercial resto. It is not fancy or shi shi. It is just a corner resto where one can enjoy the company of friends and family and have a decent meal. They do eggs well and omelets are good. I go there not expecting to be in a hip happening space with fancy decor and prices to match. I just want a nice comforting meal served my honest people and they never have failed me. Yes there are plenty of haters out there that just love to be in the spot light by finding what ever means they can to achieve that. I just want no stress ,no fuss, no crazy screaming noise. Just a comforting meal and atmosphere. I get it there everytime. Thank you. Will be back soon.

Staff is ridiculously rude and aggressive. I practically got yelled at multiple times during my meal by the owners. Once because I asked for the wifi password. Once because I didn’t chose my meal fast enough and once because I had snow on my boots during a snow storm……. Then a fourth time when I told them they got the order wrong and they told me I don’t know how to read a menu (both owners kept passing by my table and muttering you ‘should read the menu’). Food is not good. Why put broken eggs on top of pancakes? And it cost 40$ for 1 person to get a bad breakfast and abused. First time I didn’t tip in my life and then the owner put her hands on me and tried to pushed me out the door, yelling that I should wash her dishes. Extremely strange experience lol twilight zone….. there’s many other breakfast places in the area

Simple nothing Special Service in English only you ask the questions in French she answers you in the language of Shakespeare not very helpful but clean as places personally to avoid in the neighborhood there are best
Been here a few time for brunch and loved each visit! The pancakes and eggs benny are two personal favourites of mine! Love the Elvis inspiration and the ode to Montreal over the years. The older gentleman that I believe is the owner is very kind aswell. Perfect spot for NDG, will go back again!

She is a mean money hungry woman. That has no customer service. She is outright mean …. Food is less than ok , but she won’t let you enjoy it , unless you order enough $$ for your seat .. she will even demand you tip her more! I always try to support local , but there is a two way street , she doesn’t support anyone local !Parking: Non existent….
Two friends and I had breakfast at this Café today. The crepes were quite ordinary and the waitress was extremely rude. We had not finished our meal when she repeatedly asked us to hurry to make room for the waiting customers. We will not return.

Just make your own breakfast. They will ruin your morning by screwing up your order every time.

This place is a joke. No idea how they’re still in business. Terrible, poor, bad, miserable customer service. A smile will go a long way in building lasting relationships with customers. A good experience means more returning customers and regulars, which is good for business. Their business model relies on people getting tricked into thinking they’re going into a cute, quaint, cafe only to be met with sarcastic, rude comments and an owner who seemingly hates their clientele. Can’t imagine this establishment having repeat customers. Not sure how long this restaurant has been around but they either have another source of income to keep this place in business or they’re really good at reeling in poor suckers who will go once and never again.

cafe oxford is a nice local place. It is a bit small but you really get that local atmophere. The food is nothing exeptional but its not bad. I would recommend trying it out. I went this morning, im not super impressed but i would go back, there arent a lot of breakfest places in the area. Dont have super high expecation but its a decent place.
