| - Tribeca has all the right makings for a great coffee spot... especially out in the 905 burbs. I would just be jumping up and down if a spot like this was in Mississauga. When walking in, we spotted Pilot and Propeller coffee beans (Toronto roasters) and Sloane on the walls. The good stuff you'd want to see in a coffee spot.
When you first walk in, I noticed how large and spacious it was beyond the barista place. The aesthetics is a chill, modern, and comfortable place. Cozy would be another good word to describe this place. Lots of natural light is found with the skylights. It does have a lot of tables available. Some are larger tables in their coffee tasting or lesson room and others are elevated bar seating. On a Weekend morning, it was busy ... all the tables were taken and unlike Toronto, the tables weren't crowded by laptops. It was just filled with people enjoying conversations.
Service here is friendly ... but slow and maybe a bit confused too. We were greeted nicely and first in line but we noticed after our order, the line up grew to 4 people behind us and stayed that way for quite some time. Unlike Toronto spots, I don't think they started on our drinks for at least another 4 minutes and then they forgot the 2nd drink.
As for their menu, it's a large one with many interesting seasonal choices. They had butter coffee, bombproof matcha which I learned is matcha version of butter coffee, and other interesting drinks. We ordered up our favourite espresso based drink, flat white, and also their seasonal option of the salted caramel flat white.
Flat White - I'm not sure this drink was off because it was the one that she forgot to make the first time we waited for drinks. More akin to a cappuccino and latte, this drink was frothy and had more milk to water down the already weak espresso shot. It felt like we were drinking warmed milk. 2/5
Salted Caramel Flat White - Faring a little better because of the addition of the Torani caramel sauce. The first sips was like the other flat white. Over frothed instead of micro foam and really light in flavour. It just had a mild sweetness at first. Unlike other commercial syrups, they usually mix in naturally as you place the espresso and milk into the cup. This caramel sauce just sat at the bottom of the cup and made it undrinkable for the last 30%. It was just too much thick sweetness at the end. 2.5/5
The quality of drinks unfortunately reminded us a bit of Starbucks with its drink being mild and weak in the espresso shot. Maybe an off day with the barista and feeling overwhelmed with the long line up? I'm not sure but unfortunately not a spot I could say it was good for flat white.
