Really horrible coffee one of the worst I've had! My wife purchased 2 coffees (cappuccino & filtered coffee) with a type of banana pumpkin bread. After we both teied our coffee, we both were like yuk! What a wierd disgusting tasts! We first thought it was the milk that was expired. So I went back to tell the employee the situation! She was sure the milk was good as there hadn't been anyone else who had complained. She was nice enough to make us another one & when she made me try it, I mistakenly said it was better when it wasn't! I knew then that it was their coffee beans that taste weird! Please do not listen to the pisitive reviews. They have 4.9 stars forsure due to the owners friends. Look at the negative ones (the few that are there), you'll see that they also find the coffee to be bad (bitter & weird taste)! I think the people at this café have no clue what good coffee is! Wow! The dessert was okay nothing special, but coffee is really really bad!

I felt that I needed to respond to your response on my critic but truthful review I sent yesterday.

First off, sorry its not to bring down your coffee place (because its actually a nice café with seemingly lovely ambiance). However, I felt it was necessary to warn others about the coffee taste! Again, its not that its about an off taste...its a question of the taste being bitter & bad after taste! I am one of the least picky person when it comes to food & especially coffee...loving almost all coffee's like tim hortons & mcdonalds. But the coffee beans served at your café is really awful! It seems as its not even close to a normal coffee taste! As I first thought it was the milk that was sour, it was clearly your coffee beans! Its forsure your homemade coffee beans right? Which country are they from? The blend of coffee is like I never tried before. My wife was complaining even more than me.

Simply to answer your question about other cafés, if you want to try normal & great coffee, go to Café Milano's, Café Olympico, Clarke's café just a few to name. I'm Italian so I kind of have an idea what good coffee is!

But perhaps certain people like that particular taste of coffee & thats good for your business if thats really the case. & I find it hard to believe that the majority of people who wrote the reviews are indeed'real clients' & NOT friends/relatives! But if you say so..I'm not here to judge but rather give my opinion.

I really wanted to love it but everything they sell is depressing & or disappointing. Their Matcha & london fog is basically just milk, & their coffee is disliked by everyone I know. Their cookies & snacks are also very depressing. Only snacks that are good is maybe? the matcha cookie? & the mushroom shaped chocolate puff & salad. Everything else is bland &/or dry. The space is really pretty though. I really really wonder how this place is still in business.

Edit: sorry to the owner I was quite harsh & the workers are super nice. & I meant the people I know that have tried it.

I recently visited Kurija in Montreal. The atmosphere inside was great & the staff were very friendly. However, the coffee was disappointing. I tried a cortado & a flat white, but the milk foam wasn't balanced & didn't pair well with the beans. Overall, the coffee tasted weak & lacked character. For people who truly enjoy coffee, I wouldn't recommend their beans.

Really nice atmosphere & excellent staff. A little disappointed in the matcha latte, felt like I was just drinking milk.

A really beautiful & cute cafe! We just stumbled upon it but it was a nice experience. The staff was friendly, & gave us free coffe & chocolate bread because it was the end of the day. I got the iced matcha latte, & they offered many different alternatives milks. It tasted really good! I tried a sip of my friend's London Fog, & it was the best I have tried. Strong tea flavour, with a good amount of sweetness & vanilla. Definitely try this place if you are in the area!!
