A cafe for the coffee aficionado. If you want to talk shop & nerd out on all things coffee, this is the place.
These guys know their stuff & make excellent pour overs & espressos, with a very unique selection of interesting beans & roasts on hand.

Seating is very limited though, so it's pure luck if you'll be able to sit & savour at the counter.

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??

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.

Love the vibe of this place, & the barista has great taste in music. Good espressos here too.

LOVE the layout & decor - the place is small but unique.

Only drawback is lack of decaf. (Yeah I am one of those people that asks for decaf 🥴) But barista offered helpful alternatives & suggestions on which coffees has less caffeine as well as herbal teas.

Also the vibe of this place was amazing —barista was a good mix of attentive & laidback to let people have their own space.

Have to just say again, the decor is amazing. From the window / couch in front, to the counter, to the little nook in the back w a screen — My bet is it the owner has background in interior design, or got a smoking cool company to do this space.

Ambiance tamisée, légèrement froide avec un style minimaliste. Le café n’est pas mauvais, mais a un goût légèrement fade. Je reverrais les recettes pour le V60 & peut-être même pour l’espresso, ça goûte le café sous-extracté.
