I've been up & down Wellington to find a coffeeshop that checks off all my boxes & even though I haven't found it yet, there's one box that matters the most to me & it's the customer service.

By far, HUGO IS THE BEST BARISTA ON WELLINGTON! Yeah, I said it. Not only does he know how to make a great cup of coffee/matcha latte, but he knows how to turn a one time customer into a regular!

He does this by consistently meeting you where you're at. What this looks like is engaging with his customers, getting to know them, ensuring that he's making them exactly what they want by asking questions & continuously iterating it to their preferred taste. When he serves it to you, you can tell he gave his best effort to your beverage & when he picks up your empty cup, he truly hoped you enjoyed it.

& even towards the end of the day, if you're in a deep work flow or conversation, he doesn't rush you out & allows you to come to the end smoothly.

That level of care should be the standard for all coffeeshops, but I'm just grateful that he's in my neighbourhood.

Without question top tier coffee shop. Best in verdun without question. Locally roasted coffee beans, daily drip selections & a good place if you want to buy top grade coffee beans. I find the location does lack character, I mean very cut & dry & there is not much ambience. But may be to some customers liking if they like a new clean place & no interaction with strangers.
