Enjoyed the visit! Had a nice delicate Panama Geisha, and some espresso drinks. Nice vibe, tasty beans, will come back. Beware (in a good sense), a cappuccino would have some chocolate powder in it, which isn’t bad per se, but is worth knowing about. Get a flat while instead if you don’t like anything in your espresso drinks besides coffee and milk. It tasted great still, though!

The location of this restaurant is very inconspicuous. We drove around twice before finding it. There is no big sign and not many seats, but the atmosphere is very good. The business hours are impressive, the little girl who makes coffee is very professional, and there are surprises every time!

This might be a good place for a quick conversation with a friend or two for 10-15 minutes. If you want to spend more time then definitely consider some other place. No power outlet, no comfortable seats.

Nice place for specialty coffee. They had a number of selection of beans from some well known coffee bean providers. Not many places to sit down though.

One of the best coffee shops in Markham. The quality is smooth, aromatic, and rich. $ is fair for the quality of the cup. May I add, their skillful latte art. Wish they had Hojicha because that’ll be my go to!

had a nice expereince at this place, i’m a coffee lover so it was nice to try out a new place… i think they were still doing some renovations so the place had the smell of fresh paint, and there wasn’t much room to sit.. the coffee was good though, was just hoping for a more aesthetic

Visited this coffee shop yesterday, and it was truly a pleasant surprise! The iced Americano I ordered had a subtle sweetness from the coffee beans, indicating excellent quality. The owner seems very dedicated. Comparatively, it surpasses 'Internet-famous ToGo Coffee' by a mile; their coffee beans are simply not up to par. (I came to this coffee shop yesterday and was really surprised. It tastes so good. The iced American I ordered has a slight sweetness from the coffee beans. The quality of the beans is very good. , is a very attentive shop owner! I want to compare it, it is much better than "Internet celebrity Tudog Coffee", the quality of the coffee beans of that shop is unsatisfactory)

Location/Service This place is right in the next plaza of First Markham Place, where A La Kitchen is located. Plenty of parking around the plaza, but it does get pretty busy. Inside is pretty small, with a couple of small seatings available. I like how they make it more open spaced to make it look bigger and nice use of the natural lightning. Service is nice, staff were friendly and orders came quick. Food/Drink Not a wide range of beverages available, so it fits their name that it's a specialty coffee. I tried the flat white for about $5. The coffee was strong and overall taste was flavourful. I liked it overall. Will definitely try to come back again for other drinks with a few more people.

Best specialty coffee in the GTA ?I’ve enjoyed a pour over, lattes, flat whites, and a piccolo from The Library — all had impeccable execution, particularly the texture of the milk/oat drinks.

Cappuccino was so good. Just wished they had baked goods here like the one downtown. Also seating is quite limited. Otherwise, good coffee.

This place is awesome! It has a beautiful minimalist vibe and great friendly atmosphere. People were hanging out chatting in the corners and the people working here were super kind and friendly! Of course, the coffee was fantastic too!
