Great service & great coffee! Even though the coffee is a little pricey it makes up in its distinctive taste & service.
The barista was working alone, but was quick, efficient, & very friendly. His service was excellent, & he even brought customers their orders to their seats, which was a nice touch.

I've been here a few times & have always enjoyed it, which is why this experience was disappointing.

When I paid cash, the cashier told me,'Let me know how much you want back.' I was confused because the amount of change I was owed was already displayed on the screen. When I asked what he meant, he replied,'Like how much you want to tip.'

I was honestly taken aback by that. A tip is always up to the discretion of the customer, especially at a coffee shop. In a normal situation, the cashier gives the customer their change, & then the customer can choose whether or not to leave a tip.

What bothered me wasn't the option to tip, it's the implication that a tip was expected before I had even received my change. Being put on the spot like that felt uncomfortable & left a bad impression. I've always liked coming here, but this interaction really turned me off. Unfortunately due to this interaction I will not be returning.

We came for a coffee, got a free one & a bed cover in the process! Such a nice & cool atmosphere made by the place & the brand Silk & Snow! On top of that the tea is insane!

J'adore ce café/galerie. Le café est excellent, l'ambiance est unique & chaleureuse, & l'endroit est toujours inspirant à visiter.

J'y suis allée à quelques reprises, autant pour des événements que pour une simple journée de weekend, & l'expérience est toujours agréable. & honnêtement… ça sent tellement bon dès qu'on entre!
