Spent this afternoon drinking café au laits and eating amazing almond croissants at La Croissanterie Figaro. I love this little cafe, tucked in between tree-lined avenues in the Mile End area of Montreal.

La Croissanterie holds a special place in my heart because I used to live a few blocks away, and it was one of the first cafes in Montreal I ever visited. In fact, the girl I sublet my first apartment from recommended it to me, and on probably my second day living in Montreal, my dad and I went there for an early supper. I was immediately charmed by its European atmosphere and delicious food.

I have since spent many summer mornings on their terrasse eating their omelette croissant breakfast, or having afternoon café au laits, like today. Being there reminds me just how far I've come from being the wide-eyed fresh-off-the-boat girl in May to how I am now.

It is a lovely place to be.
