This neighbourhood cafe is a welcome addition to the plethora of mega-chained coffee shops in the area. It's also extremely helpful that this little gem is just a few steps from my front door.
Inside the place is cozy with dark wooden chairs and tables for you to enjoy your food with friends. Along the front windows is a bar ledge and stools for those who prefer to people watch and sip at their coffees. The invitation to sit and work there is open, so it's not uncommon to see people with their laptops working. Whether or not if the internet is free, I'm not quite sure.
Carrying fair-trade organic coffees from around the world, they make delectable pastries in house as well. Open for lunch at 11:30am, a generous size sandwich and soup will definitely tie you over till supper.
In my personal experience, the staff have always been friendly and helpful, and being a regular, they know exactly which cup of Joe I want.
