Cafe 92 Degres

The western Montreal borough of Nôtre-Dame-de-Grâce, known best to Montrealers as simply N.D.G., might not be known as a hopping area of the city. However, Cafe 92º  is one of the neighbourhood's  thriving businesses even if it's not very centrally located. According to co-owner/co-founder Maria Grajales, who opened the cafe alongside Claudia Vega and Reda Wahba, this works to their advantage.

“This area is very good because we have a lot of people that have been living here for a long time, near the coffee shop, and the fact that they’ve been here for a while and also the dog park across the street, there’s a big sense of community,” she says. “We have clients that have been coming here ever since we opened, ever since the first day. I see others that come back after a while; they move away and then they come back a couple years after and then they’re our clients again.”
