Literally my fav coffee shop, I go every single morning and get my large black coffee before I start school, I made it a habit of walking 30 min there and 30 min back at the start of my school year and do it everyday. People are so so nice and make my entire morning. Love the atmosphere

A cozy little coffee shop in the heart of the market which is always full. What does that tell you? It tells you that it's really the only place in the immediate area to get a decent espresso.

Coffee and matcha were good but paninis were underwhelming.What made the experience less than enjoyable was that when our family of 4 moved two small tables together, the barista came over and rudely told us to move the table back as we were “blocking a busy area as they often get a line wrapping around the store”. This was unfortunate as we were forced to share a tiny table for 2 while the line never surpassed more than one person … disappointed :/

Their "tap payment" wasn't working so it was cash only. They were good to extend a tab so I could go to the bank afterwards.

Great coffee and a nice location as a pedestrian, always packed every time I'm there though so you probably won't find room to sit and eat.

I am ashamed that in capital city, the popular coffee shop in the market has so dirty and damaged washroom. The coffee is good but the place definitely needs a lot of work

I had a horrible experience at this place. The customer service and drinks are okay. This story is a bit long whirled and while it had nothing to do with the owner or staff, it did take place at their business and it profoundly and negatively affected me, as a young woman.I was in the bathroom( which is gross and needs to be cleaned way more often ) at their establishment and I heard someone trying to open the door with a key. I shouted out that it's occupied but he didn't hear me and I had the misfortune of having a fully grown man walk in on me while I was using the bathroom. Unfortunately I could not get up as I was indisposed and had this man walk in on me. He didn't even apologize ; just simply said he couldn't hear me.Ladies please watch out for this guy as he's almost 300 pounds, white male, with a beard that's at least 6'5 in height, and looks like officer Piscatella from Orange is the new black ( if you've ever seen this show). I'm guessing he lives in the area and most likely , this was an accident but we can't know for sure.It completely scared and startled me so bad that I'm still upset about it when I look back cause it was a threatening situation. It is a complete stranger after all and you never know what could happen or even what the intention is;we live in a messed up world and I don't like to take chances.Although I am not blaming the owner for another person's actions and although she did treat me to a baked good, I have to say I am very disappointed in this establishment all together.Firstly, as a woman, why am I not entitled to the same safety and dignity as other people? The owner has not made gender specific bathrooms and simply runs them with a key ( that anyone can get their hands on). I'm not sure how this happened as I don't work there but the fact that they can open from the outside is ridiculous and can make for a frightful situation and encounter. When I told her to maybe make a male and female washroom, she said that it's "too much." I just love how my rights and safety don't count for anything. If she likes, she can also make a gender neutral washroom but as women our safety and dignity needs to be respected and taken seriously.I hope it doesn't happen to anyone and she has fixed this or at least made it more clear for customers. Needless to say I won't be stepping foot in there again.
