montreal terrasses?

could someone please tell me where, in montreal, i can find a nice patio to sit with a coffee, or other such beverage, and work all afternoon? one that's not right beside the traffic of st. denis or mont royal street. ok, i know santropol has an amazing patio, or terrasse as they're called here. but it's just a little too far for me - i'm at laurier and mentana. i know café des entretiens...but it's closed right now. today i spent the better part of my afternoon sitting in the second cup patio on mont royal - which is a great patio by the way, but i'd rather not go to a chain.

any ideas?
