Love this cafe but don't take the matcha…

The place is beautiful, very spacious, & has a welcoming atmosphere. The breakfasts we saw being served looked incredible, so we'll definitely come back another time to give them a try.
On this visit, we came specifically for the donuts. The presentation is lovely, & they certainly look as good as they do in the photos. However, at least the ones we chose didn't quite live up to our expectations. They were good, but after seeing how amazing they looked & hearing so many positive reviews, we were expecting a bit more in terms of flavor.
That being said, we still enjoyed the experience & would love to come back to try other items on the menu, especially the breakfast options.

Le bon: la nourriture, spécialement le Doug lorsque bien fait.

Le moins bon: demandez un chocolat extra chaud & recevez littéralement tiède. Pas tiède chaud, tiède froid. Raison de la barista:' je peux pas le faire plus chaud, ça brûlera le lait.' avec attitude désobligeante en bonus. C'est arrivé 2 fois.

2e enjeu, je comprends que c'est dur à calculer, mais la quantité de sauce (pour le sandwich Doug) varie énormément d'un cook à l'autre. La dernière fois, il y en avait pratiquement pas, alors le goût était fade.

C'est pas des gros enjeux, mais c'est le genre d'irritants qui fait qu'on ne veux plus revenir ici... si seulement ils n'avaient pas un des meilleur sandwich déjeuné en ville, lorsqu'il est bien fait!

Quaint little coffee shop near Square Victoria. Good coffee & donuts & usually not too packed.

Beau décor pour bien débuter la journée avec un bon café & une pâtisserie. Service un peu lent à mon goût.

Donuts were great, but I've had better espresso. The location's design was interesting & cool.
