Spending the day in Port Credit - I was walking around with my fiance looking for a coffee shop to grab a drink. I walked by Archtop Cafe once and stopped to look inside and saw all the records - I was sold! We walked in and instantly loved the atmosphere.
This place is like a two in one deal - the record store part and the cafe/coffee shop part! Really great business idea. I may not have a record player but I loved looking through the records and seeing all the different types of music that were available. There is something nostalgic about records, and even the decor of the cafe was a little nostalgic. They also have more records and CDs in the basement so don't miss out!
In terms of the cafe/coffee shop part, I ordered a Chai Latte, my fiance ordered a large Iced Caramel Latte and we also ordered a cheddar scone to share. First of all the scone was so buttery, flakey and fresh, it was crumbling apart! I'm somewhat of a scone snob and really picky about my scones and this one passed the test - I kind of wish I didn't share it actually. My Chai Latte was smooth and flavourful, and my fiance said his Iced Latte was just the right amount of sweetness.
The ladies working that day were really helpful when we asked about other cool places to check out in Port Credit (we are from Hamilton so we had no idea where to check out for lunch, or other cool stores). There are only a few tables and stools to sit in, so it's pretty small in there, but I like small cafes!
I'll definitely be back when I visit Port Credit again. I would love to try some of the freshly made sandwich's and snacks!
