Sidneys Friperie has quickly become a Saint-Henri favourite, mixing curated vintage with a side of grilled cheese and drip coffee. Located on Notre-Dame, this hybrid thrift store–café punches above its weight with a surprisingly broad inventory: distressed denim, Y2K pieces, statement boots, and the occasional high-fashion label all hang side by side. The vibe is casual but intentional, with prices that stay mostly under $40, making it a solid option for anyone looking to score unique pieces without the usual markup.
The layout is tight but thoughtfully arranged, and the presence of a resident shop dog keeps the mood light. There’s often music playing, and on occasion, even live events. Whether you’re digging for a faded tee or just popping in for a smoked salmon bagel, Sidneys is the kind of spot where you can hang out without being hustled. It’s not just a shop—it’s a community hangout with style.
