| - Neat little place, if youre in the neighbourhood. Cozy, if a little outdated atmosphere. But retro is hip now, right?
The menu makes me so happy. I strolled in for the first time, hoping for something that resembled a sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised to find there are a bunch of different sandwiches and bagel sandwiches on the menu with fresh ingredients, and they are DELICIOUS. It is apparent that things are homemade, and there are a lot of ingredients you wouldnt find on the menu at your average coffee shop. Think avocado, aoli, and like 6 different kinds of cheese. I was impressed to note that they have a quiche of the day, and the folks working were discussing what kind to make for tomorrow. I have not tried it, but may have to now. As other reviewers have noted, the coffee is not spectacular --but it still beats Tim Hortons.
The staff were pleasant, and seemed to know many of the people riding the tail end of the lunch rush. I dont know if I would go for a sit-down meal, at least not with great expectations. Actually, I would say in general, that as long as you dont arrive with great expectations, its a pleasant surprise in a hit-and-miss neighbourhood.
