One of the best spécialité coffee

Overrated a bit. Limited coffee beans selection as compared to others. Technique to be evaluated again due to poor extraction. No background music & no decor. Not so comfortable seats. Poor service- Barista was not in a mood to talk about his own coffee I guess.

The espresso & the filter were spot on & delicious. Intimidatingly massive selection of pour overs (they all sounded amazing) with very class roasters & producers. The barista was so warm, knowledgeable, & efficient. The vibes are also really cool & laid back. Best coffee shop I've been to in North America??

No dogs automatically low stars for me. More importantly for other people- not well organized tables & uncomfortable rude vibes from staff. Surprised given high rating

Edit after reply - I have checked the law even before coming here & for coffee shops / primarily drinks places, allowing small pets is at owner's discretion in the province; I've spent many afternoons in coffee shops around. & yes the interaction felt very jarring regardless.

Coffee was excellent. The female barista was very nice. Really good ambiance. Heard excellent reviews of this place & it did not disappoint. Highly recommended in the menu are flat white, cortado & matcha latte.

Great single origin espresso. Nice aesthetic. Usually quite busy with people working on laptop so expect to take it to go. The coffee shop culture appears to be politically Marxist/socialist.
