| - Cute little cafe that would be wonderful to work at, and right near a couple of parks, making for easy caffeination before taking your pooch or child for a wander.
I've been to their Ossington location a couple of times and enjoy their coffee, however this location warrants only 2 stars.
My dad and I walked up to the counter and waited while the barista finished what she was doing. No eye contact, greeting or acknowledgement of our existence. Still, we waited patiently.
When it came to our turn to order, no smile or acknowledgement of our wait. Oh well. I chalked it up to not having the best of days. I ordered a latte with almond milk and my dad got the chai latte. The drinks came quickly, and as we turned to leave, the barista realized that she had my drink with regular milk, and quickly fixed it. I appreciated that I didn't have to find that out on my own. I figured that I'd give her an extra star for this.
I took a sip of my latte and grimaced - the espresso hadn't been pulled properly, resulting in a bitter beverage. Keen to get out of there, I didn't ask for it to be remade, and figured I'd get my hit of caffeine regardless of the taste.
I did my best, but the drink tasted awful, and for the first time in my life, I threw away my latte. Bleurgh. Important note: my dad enjoyed his chai latte immensely.
Could be that the barista wasn't having the best of days, but if the management is reading this, I recommend a refresher on customer service and espresso making.
For you Yelpers, if you're in this part of Roncy and really need a coffee, sure, go on in. Otherwise, walk to the main drag and go to Lit Espresso for consistently good caffeinated beverages!
