Pas de problème is the kind of café that doesn’t need to shout to stand out. Tucked into a bright stretch of Notre-Dame West, it radiates warmth through a steady stream of vinyl, real-deal chai, and some of the best patties and pastries this side of the island. The mood? Chill without trying too hard. There’s a backyard terrasse for when the sun shows up, and a breakfast sandwich game that hits harder than it needs to. Come for the coffee—done properly, no gimmicks—and stay for the guava tarts, baked mac and cheese, and pepper shrimp that give the space more soul than your average third-wave spot.
