Moonbean is a coffee lover's haven because they have no shortage of fresh coffee available which is grind daily. Plus you can purchase an assortment of coffee beans for your own brews at home if you so desire.
Although, I love the smell of coffee, I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but love teas. This place has no shortage of teas either. There's a large selection that will suit any tea drinker. I just love that it's mostly organic and the choice for rooibos is amazing. To help the line move faster, just bring the jar of your tea choice to the front and the server will fill a bag of tea for you.
Moonbean also offers a variety of delicious pastries and specials of the day, plus an assortment of cold beverages as well. Everything from beverages to food is reasonably priced and at times cheaper than other coffee places.
A go-to local coffee place in the Kensington Market that is definitely a neighbourhood gem where you'll get a mixed crowd on any given day, making for an interesting experience while you sip your favourite hot or cold beverages.
This place is always busy no matter what time of the day. Good luck finding a table at this relatively small coffee place. Should you be successful in finding a table, please mind your conversations as proximity is so close to the next table, that you're able to hear everyone's conversations around you. Just a little cozy, but in the winter months it sometimes is welcomed with extra body heat. Definitely a good place to chat up with total strangers and start good conversations if you're feeling talkative.
The staff are all friendly as well and I have never experienced bad service. They move the lineup as fast and efficiently as they can and for the most part are very patient with customers who takes a little longer than usual with their ordering.
Coffee, tea or pastries anyone?
