  • Neo Coffee Bar is a new coffee / pastry / sandwich shop located near King & Jarvis on Frederick St. First, the coffee: it's good! We came in on opening day and tried the standard drip coffee, which was free. I'm no coffee connoisseur, but I really enjoyed it. Strong but not overly so, and none of that terrible aftertaste you get with Starbucks etc. Not the best coffee I've ever had, but definitely better than most. They also have a pretty intense-looking espresso setup, and the Americano and latte were we had were good but not the best in the area. We will probably stick to nearby Tandem for our pure coffee needs. The other major claim to fame of this place is the Japanese pastry chef. We tried the cream puff (which is filled right as you order it) and the matcha cookie. The cookie was ok, but the cream puff was excellent and definitely on par with the bakeries we've been to in Japan (and better than Beard Papa). The open pastry kitchen is pretty neat, and fun to watch from the seats at the front. They also have sandwiches for lunch, but have yet to try those. We've come back a few times now to try the rolls, which as per the advertising are the main feature of the pastry section. The matcha roll had a nice texture, but the flavour of matcha was very slight. It was disappointing, to be honest. The Shingen roll on the other hand was quite good: a noticeable roasted soya bean flavour that was unique and delicious. Overall, the desserts were good, but not as mind-blowing as we hoped for based on the pre-opening hype. The space itself is worth mentioning as well. This is much larger than your regular coffee shop - there is seating space for at least 30 or 40. The decor is very concrete, but manages to be pretty warm with comfortable benches. Not many plugs though, and none of those giant arm chairs you see in many coffee shops though, so I don't know if this would be a good hangout/study place. Finally, the music selection tends more towards indie/alternative than 'hip' coffee shop far, which may or may not be your cup of tea. Personally, I liked it. Overall, this place is a very good coffee and pastry shop, and we will be back.
