I thank my co worker to this day for introducing me to really good coffee here - until then I used to buy the bagged stuff from either starbucks or even (gasp) tim hortons. I didn't know any better, until I stepped into here upon his recommendation.
The fact that they provide freshly roasted beans, of ethically traded as well as organic coffee along with choice of freshly grinding or taking the beans whole home really does the trick.
Also, the morning buzz beans are highly addictive. I also enjoy their bagel looking creation (borka?) in both spinach and feta flavors.
Lastly, the patio does seem like a super chill place to hang out. I don't however, ever have the time to do so. I am only able to frequent this place during weekdays when I come to the city to work, I do sure wish they'd open another one out in the burbs.
