    My favourite coffee shop to date. I have been to many places tried coffee and loved it. Each server I have had has made amazing coffees and been really amazing. My only critiques would be the food and pricing. The food is really tasty, but a couple of the items I’ve expected it to taste better, but it was still tasty. About pricing, I personally think for some of the items, their price could be slightly lower, but very good quality. TL;DR - Very high quality and friendly place that I would recommend to others. One additional note: I’ve found Victoria has provided excellent service to me. Not saying the others haven’t been amazing, I just personally think she stands out as a good server to me.

    Love this place, been coming here for years! The espresso is so good, and the baked goods are always delicious. What really makes my visits even better is seeing my favourite barista, Nicole. She has my order memorized and makes a mean latte! I’m a regular for a reason :)

    Cute little cafe, efficient service. Good place to study and get some work done, two tables have outlets by them. The almond croissant was amazing and so filling. Paid $9 for a small cappuccino and almond croissant.

    Was in the area and found this place by googling the nearest cafe. It was a mistake. Got a latte that tasted like hot cardboard. Not sure if it’s their roast or the taste of the cup was coming through but I’ve never had coffee taste like that. I kept drinking it hoping it’d get better but noppeeee. Possibly the worst latte I’ve had in the last few years.

    I came here based on the reviews and the overall experience was a disappointment. Ordered: oat milk latte + tomato and mozarella danish. The latte had a burnt taste, it got a bit better to the end when I could swirl it but it should be enjoyable from the first sip. The Danish looked okay but it was incredibly oily (it looks like they drizzle oil on it), messy to eat, and the base itself was soggy. interactions with the barista were awkward overall. They did apologize for the wait when my order was being taken but I was right at the counter in her face not being acknowledged while she made multiple drinks. The wait isnt the issue, ackwoledgement or simple communication goes a long way. The atmosphere was cold (even though it was very warm inside).
