Hey! Give these guys a break!!! Cheers to bust a$$ workers who get little to no thanks for breaking a sweat for and getting breakfast treats and drinks to nervous travelers, crying babies and HIGH energy kids!!!
Thank you especially to Jennifer (and I apologize to the other young woman who took care of us with beautiful pink nails and long braids and amazing smile)… outstanding service under pressure!!! I would hire them for any five star restaurant, teaching “how-to” under pressure, you get the picture!!!!
The restaurant was by the Air Canada airline and the line was 20 deep but went fast and was $3.55 for a small new cup black coffee and about $2.00 more for a decaf latte. I was also able to get a cup of water with ice with my coffee for free (thank you for that Jennifer).
Go to Starbucks get the coffee and skip the airport shop that charges $4.50 for water… spend it on treats or towards a souvenir cup from Starbucks and keep these folks employed!
Go, enjoy and stop being so nervous - they have got you covered at Starbucks!

As you pull into the parking lot you will notice parking is very limited. We got lucky as someone was pulling out right in front :)
There are a few tables outside, I believe three and the rest is inside. Only one patron was wearing a mask. By late afternoon the floor was just a tad messy and the area where you can pick up lids, a dash of cinnamon, etc could have used a sprucing up. I get it...end of day.
My husband used the bathroom and reported back, very tidy.
His brewed coffee so hot took :20 before he could take a sip, that is hot! Once he did, smooth and oh so delightful. I had a decaf Latte with whole milk that just hit the spot.
I didn't notice the music. There were mugs and t-shirts with their logo for sale and bagged coffee. Also to go salad in glass jars as well as bagels, donuts and things of that nature. Even end of day they looked pretty fresh.
Go, enjoy and drink up!

For $10 for adults, this is a great little museum filled with history of the Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal, artifacts of Saint-Joseph, and explores the history of healthcare and health sciences (nuns taking care of those in need at the hospital and running the pharmacy.
The first room is a bit of history between the First Nations People + Chomeday. (And Marie De La Ferre and the Hospitallers of Saint Joseph, hospital care).
Paintings, carvings, needlepoint, textiles, metal (gold, silver, etc church artifacts) + other relics (personal letters, furniture, dolls, headdress and even a "cell" where the sisters would sleep has been set up here) with plaques in French/English help guide you through the history.
The second floor is dedicated more to the history of surgery, surgical tools, those that performed the surgeries and the buildings. Example, William H. Hingston, a pioneer in plastic-surgery, was among the first to do skin grafting and one of the first to use the microscope.
Also upstairs, there is a room that talks about the transformation between a French speaking city and then a swing to a more British/English society (due to an epidemic and sharp increase if English births). As you swing to the right it talks in length about the different types of church architecture and who was behind building them
Fascinating part of this bit of Montreal history. If you live here, have more than a few days or have even the slightest bit of interest in these subjects well worth 2 hours of your time and again the $10 admission.
