| - For me the bar for coffee shops is Starbucks, although I do enjoy my double double at Tim Horton's. I wanted to try this place out to see if I was missing anything. This being my first time, I wasn't sure if their menu is as extensive as Starbucks, and I was to afraid to find out. At Starbucks you can order a coffee that is 10 words long. I didn't see that sort of stuff here, but of course the base coffee types are the same.
I got an americano (for the first time) on a recommendation and my wife got an iced mocha. I also got an iced tea and they are in my wheelhouse, but unfortunately there aren't any ice tea places in the city.
I can say that I enjoyed the americano. Very flavourful, full bodied, bold (these are some great words huh?) and as a friend put it "velvety". I did however really like the iced tea. There were two kinds ready to be poured, and some other ones I could have had steeped for me. I got the english breakfast because it was already steeped. This is the first place I know of that has different kinds of iced tea. My favourite iced teas are ones that are brewed without sugar, and then later put some liquid sugar in; none of this simulated lemon flavour bs. I chugged this iced tea down.
What impressed me the most is that they get their tea's from David's tea, which I'm guessing their selections will change over time.
The only thing I didn't like about the place was that there doesn't seem to be any structure. I don't even know if that's the right word, but the milk is in one place and the station to mix you coffee is in another. I didn't even realize that the milk was for our use, because its not actually at the coffee mixing station and is the same ones the baristas use.
