My barista looked and talked to me like the scum of the earth, when taking my order. The actual coffee didn’t make up for it either. Thought it was a one off, not the case. Tipped every visit. Wished things were different. All the best.

Such a cozy spot! And I’m so appreciative that they offer coffee late night.

Until last year I used to go every other week to work on my computer at night time, but sadly the last few weeks they changed their policies about laptops.Apparently now you are only allowed to used your computer during day time and not during night time, and that's kind of sad because this was one of the few places with sober options who were open in night time, around this area of the city. Sadly, most late night places are clubs or bars, and can't really work on your computer on those places.

Gorgeous interiors! Come to this café for a beautiful space to sit and if you don’t mind terrible coffee beverages and weird, dehumanizing service.I was actually shocked by how bad the drinks are. I had an oat milk latte ($6.50) and my friend had an espresso.The latte was just a tea with a few hints of milky bubbles in a small cup. No spoon and no plate for the tea bag which occupies 1/3 of the cup volume. I could’ve made my own sad tea with a thin splash of milk in an office kitchenette.The espresso was short and sour, which is fine, but there was no crema and the cup was too big for the short pour. Came on a lovely wood board with sparkling water.I also heard customers next to me discussing with surprise how their flat white was cold.This was our second visit to this location, same cold and pretentious energy from staff. This time, I was the only person in line. The staff said hi, period.In the future, I’ll stick to the many other options nearby.

Such a cute gem in Leslieville! I had the pain au chocolat and a vanilla latte. There wasn’t a lot of chocolate in the croissant but it was huge. Staff members Ben & Peter were very nice!

We stopped by for warm drinks last night before making our way to another event. The atmosphere, the music and the coffees and cappuccinos were yummy.

A great spot on a weekday to do wedding planning with your partner. Super low key and chill ambiance, and when it's warm the patio is so inviting. Staff are all friendly and know their coffee beans - my partner buys beans here every other week to make coffee at home. My favourite sandwich here is the chicken pesto (they do have vegetarian options). Unfortunately the mortadella does not even compare here, so I don't recommend. Their evening vibe is also amazing, wine and whiskey. Great for good conversation and cozy for intimate talks :)

Absolutely love this spot. Perfect for a coffee or wine date, or to post up and get some work done. The staff is wonderful and the atmosphere is lovely. You MUST try the almond croissant.

We had a nice sandwich for lunch and stayed to work after. The food wasn’t mind blowing; it was a better cafe sandwich though so 5/5. Staff aren’t super friendly, you guys can work on hospitality and inclusion. There is only ONE outlet so bring an outlet extender to make your life easier. The superpower of the place is that you can work in a cafe filled with other young professionals!! They have coffee and wine so you could probably hold quick work meetings here, table is not guaranteed. The outside is pretty as well, there are a couple of benches, they offer blankets for people who sit outside!!!! How nice.Will recommend for work and will come back.

Wow, got some pastries from here. And the almond croissant is to die for. Haven't had this good of a croissant in a long time. I love venturing the city for croissants and this is a huge hit. Sorry not sorry didn't take a picture quick enough as it got gobbled down. Also there hours here are impeccable. They close at midnight and serve all kinds of drinks. Atmosphere is like a coffee shop that includes bar service it seems

have heard alot of awesome things about this space however when I tried going tonight I was told they were closed at 7:30, with no reason as to why. disappointed but will be coming by in the near future.

Very rude and smug service, they don't say hi or thank you, have a very fake and holier than thou attitude. Also think twice before using this place to study- they only have one (1) outlet they let customers use. (This outlet is only accessible by 2 tables- try to extend the cable and they will tell you to remove it). A chia pudding and matcha latte is $20. You need to add your own sweeteners to drinks, so your honey matcha latte won't be properly made. There are better options in the area.
