Balluchon is great!
Oh wow, the staff are sooo friendly! They ask for your name if you're in the neighbourhood and are very personable.
My coffee was great - better than Second Cup, etc - and the selection of newspapers kept me busy the whole time. There seemed to be a lot of regular customers.
I love that they have cute little stuffed dogs outside the restaurant to let people know that they are open. Especially since the "open" sign is sometimes in the window while they are not. Oh! I would check their hours. They have strange hours.
