Verdun Fried Chicken Spot Jack Le Coq Is Opening a Second Location in Mile End | Eater Montreal

"I’m intrigued by Idle Garage & Café, a Jean‑Talon East concept that fuses motorcycle repairs and coffee, offering a space for motorcycle enthusiasts, DIY car repairs with proper tools and mechanic supervision, and coffee‑seekers alike; according to its Facebook page it aims to be “the hottest garage and the loudest coffee shop in Quebec” and is slated to open this spring." - Valerie Silva

Ended up towing my 2012 triumph bonneville to Idle (my old mechanic moved away… so I had to find a new place). They fixed everything and even did more than they should have for a very low price! Only good things to say about that place. Super nice staff, super nice garage and good coffee ;) I will for sure get everything done over there on my bike from now on. Highly recommended 👌👌👌

I went to Idle Garage & Coffee to fix a wheel wobble issue and to have the original carburator put back in place. They did a wonderful job! The wobble is gone and the bike runs like a charm now. Benjamin and Ivan are very knowledgable and professionnal and eager to give a good service. I highly recommend them ... also, the espresso is pretty good ;-)

Friendly staff. Valve adjustment job ended ok. They provided the pre-adjustment valves clearances I expected. Some unexplained half day delay; plugs replaced and unknown oil type added without consent; charged new shims without returning former ones; some improperly reassembled cowlings and turn signal wiring (not working). Everyone deserve a 2nd chance so I will likely return but I would give directives.

Good People and a great atmosphere, mechanics know their stuff and prices aren't going to break the bank! Best garage on the Island of Montreal and that makes it one of the best in Canada. Cheers to Karim and his team!!

Honestly shocked at how the macadamia milk latte I ordered ended up half cup full, lukewarm and barely tastes like coffee. The barista told me it’s for sure caffeinated but just doesn’t taste much like coffee after I questioned the look and the taste of my “latte”. The milk is not even frothed and this cost me $7.50??? Never again.

I would recommend! I had my rear tire changed there and the job was done perfectly and professionally. The espresso was great too! ☕

Delicious coffee, friendly staff, will be coming back with my new bike for their maintenance class!

Idle installed a new rear tire and changed the oil on my 3 year old Yamaha scooter last spring, but they couldn't balance the wheel because they didn't have the right machine. Yesterday I went to change my oil and discovered they did this to my oil drain plug, including cutting the slot and using vice-grips!!! This is unbelievable...the oil had been changed only once before so the plug was perfect, now I need an extractor kit to get it out. I don't know if the "new owners" fired their mechanics from last year, but I hope so. Not recommended...at all.
