Went here for the cheesecake reviews but they no longer make it. Our pastries and coffee were good. Friendly service. The seating area was busy, several people on laptops. I will say when looking around everything in the seating area was covered in dust and especially around the windows, light fixtures etc. The industrial atmosphere could deal with a refreshed paint and deep clean, it would be nice if they supported a local artist on the bare walls. The serving area was clean. There is a small outdoor seating area. Good coffee, would recommend. $

Such a cute little place where it’s good to have a coffee and a nice bite. Went over there in the morning and I have been welcomed by a sweet server who made sure that I had anything and the way I wanted. She knew exactly how. They’re welcoming well people, and the location itself it’s a pleasure to see and visit, really relaxing and inviting ! I strongly recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy half an hour cocooning

Lovely little cafe. Neat desserts. Nice staff. Quiet but not desolate. Different kinds of seating inside. Really sweetly designed details and side shopping for jewelry and other things. I am looking forward to visiting again.

Stumbled into The Only Cafe while looking for a mid afternoon pick me up after lunch. Found the spot online and walked in to discover a very clean, cute, cozy coffee shop specificalizin gin quality craft coffees. Ordering was a breeze, as you place you order at the counter and find a seat while you wait for your order. They have both coffees and baked bites but we only opted for coffee today (although the baked goods looked quite tasty). I had the chance to watch my coffee be made and it was in fact expertly and passionately brewed. I don't think I've ever seen a bunsen burner style coffee preparation in person so this was definitely really cool to watch. The coffee I ordered was ready in a few min and came served nice in hot in a beautiful glass carafe with two small cups for sharing. The coffee was light, energziing, not overley bitter, and tasted fantastic!

This cafe had a great atmosphere, enjoyable music and was quiet enough to study or read in. Cappuccinos were amazing, smooth with a slightly nutty taste.

Nice and quiet spot with a calming atmosphere. Generally occupied with small tables and people working on their laptops. The coffee here is excellent. Service is okay, nothing bad, nothing good.

I tried their latte which was gorgeous. The homemade pastry was sumptuous. Will definitely come back. It was recognizes the Best Latte in town. The owner is very passionate about making coffee.

Absolutely loved the dacquoise, we tried honey pistachio, strawberry & mango & they were all delicious. They were a good size for a snack, unlike other places where the pastries are large enough to be a full meal. My bf got the matcha latte & he said it was one of the best ones he's ever had. We make our own at home with all the traditional stuff but it was just excellent quality, very smooth. The Spanish latte was tasty as well & the latte art in the heart was a nice touch. The man working there was nice as well. Definitely high on my list of cafés & will happy be back soon. Also, loved this art on the wall. Wasn't able to take photos of the food as it was too good to stop eating haha

I ordered the Thin Thousand steam (cold). It was really good. I felt bad for missing the best time to pick it up. However, the owner said it couldn't wait and made a fresh one for me. He cares about the quality of the coffee. As soon as I got it, I tried it right away. It was so good. Also, the atmosphere here is very nice. There is a cute cloud inside. It's so cool. I recommend coming here and enjoying the coffee and the environment.

Favourite coffee spot in Kits, hands down. Pourover freaks, espresso heads, coffee nerds, and regular old “just want a coffee” folks are welcome here. Décor is de-lovely with vintage 45s by the record player and thoughtful touches everywhere. Highly recommended.

The almond milk cappuccino is average and quite small. The price on the other hand is very high. I am a little disappointed. Nothing special but the bathroom was clean. I admit I am perhaps spoiled after some time in Budapest where the coffee is much much better.
