They made us really bad iced lattes & when we asked for some more simple syrup the lady gave us attitude & put so much it got undrinkable. Wouldn't recommend

I visited this place because it came highly recommended & because I already love their coffee brand from the supermarket. Unfortunately, I left disappointed. The place was overcrowded, disorganized, & quite noisy. What stood out the most, though, was the service - the employees seemed overwhelmed & exhausted. I completely understand that, but if the location is always this busy, it may be time to consider hiring more staff - On a positive note, the cappuccino was delicious & perfectly made - so at least the coffee delivers!

Impeccable ! Le cappuccino était délicieux & le croissant vraiment excellent. C'est rare de trouver un croisant aussi croustillant au Canada.

Great artisanal coffee! If you enjoy your coffee & love geeking out on where it's from, how it's processed, brew with scales & timers, this is your kinda place!

A great stop for a quick coffee break before heading out. The cortado was well made, smooth, & enjoyable. The space is very clean with a more minimal, modern feel.

We didn't stay long about 45 minutes but it was exactly what we needed. The bagel with cream cheese & jam was simple & delicious, & hit the spot perfectly.

Efficient, fresh, & easy to enjoy when you're on the go.
