I love the concept of this place. It's across from the AGO and the first thing you see when you walk in is art work. It's perfect for the area.
However, after that it seems to fall apart. A point in its favour is it does serve an OK cup of Illy coffee. However, the other edible item they reserve a majority of counter space to is their handmade chocolates. I believe the woman behind the counter said her brother had made them.
Now, I have to say, I'm a real chocolate snob. Actually, I'm an awful chocolate snob. I've had the best chocolate in the world. Done tastings and worked with a master chocolatier for 6 years. This my friend, is for what you are paying. not so good. Sometimes, the flavours are too heavy handed in the liquors and other times their flavour idea's good but the taste was just not there. Very disappointing.
I must say, the mini wooden spoons that come with your coffee are adorable.
I am curious about their crepes. I love crepes and haven't tried any in the city yet. The big bonus here is they have a gluten free option!! Celiacs will be happy to have another place to eat!
Would this place be more of a destination if the customer service was better? Of course. From what I can tell, alot of Yelpers feel the same way.
