This property definitely deserves to call itself an espresso bar because the coffee quality is excellent. I had a delicious biscuit-like cookie which was a perfect pair for my very well prepared triple espresso Americano. I also ordered a panini to take out.This is a great place for those looking for an alternative to the coffee franchise experience. I was there in the early morning looking for a place to work before the public libraries opened.It's got a neighborhood feel as there was a steady stream of locals coming in and chatting amiably with the staff as they waited for their order. I actually got involved in a rather enjoyable and unexpected short discussion with staff and another customer about the meaning of umami. ?The regulars seemed concerned about how the road construction would affect the viability of this and other businesses on this stretch of Queen Mary Road.. This property deserves to be supported in any way to get past that possible disruption.One thing I would recommend is to have more plugs to power devices. I don't think customers will abuse that privilege and linger overly long. I was personally aware not to over-stay.

Love this place. Amazing coffee. Easily the best around. Would recommend to anyone to stop by. It's a good place to stop in for a few minutes. I was there during the snow storm and the place was packed and warm it was a good time. Only thing I would say is there doesn't seem to be enough seat when I'm in there. The way the upstairs section is set up often leaves one person at a table designed for more. Which makes the place fill up fast.

The service at this cafe was absolutely awesome. The two baristas chatted with me for some time. The cashier directed me to photos of their signature drinks. I ordered a flat white and a Nutella cappuccino to go. Unfortunately my drink looked nothing like the picture and was lacking cappuccino vibes. The sweetness was correct. My flat white was milky and espresso was almost undetectable.We had an almond croissant. It was great.

A good spot for coffee lovers. I went there as an alternative to the competitors across the street. I had a latte with croissant. I must admit that the latte had way too much milk, it could be a good idea, if the employee could ask if you wanted it strong or not. It’s a cozy place and the extra effort could help. Customers love to be appreciated, and it will be a plus to the already friendly staff. Two floors, the upper level has a view on the street with comfortable brown leather seats.Parking is difficult but it’s worth a visit.

I was very surprised by how the barista made my latte. She poured the espresso shot in a glass full of foamed milk. I am not an expert in latte but I have ordered enough of them to know that is not how you make a latte. Maybe this is individual dependant but it did leave a sour note on my experience here. Otherwise, the place looks nice, good spot to work. I like that there's a mezzanine.
