| - Quaint, cozy shop in Kensington Market that seems to attract the hipster crowd. Space is tight, so if you're looking to tuck in, kick back, and enjoy the free wifi... well, you may be out of luck. I admit that I was one of the jerks who took up an entire table with my laptop and sat there for about two hours with my food and drink. It was never "packed" while I was there, but it was busy. Every table had a laptop on it, and every person looked lost in their screens. Overall, a decent choice for cafe work.
The food sounded better than it actually was. Maybe I should've opted for breakfast. I got the fig, prosciutto, and gruyere grilled cheese with the beet and kale salad. The beet and kale salad was 90% beet to 5% seeds/dressing and 5% kale. I didn't taste the mint, but I did taste the citrus. It was okay. I expected more of a balance of the flavors. The sandwich was the LOUDEST, CRUNCHIEST SANDWICH I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. I kept getting dirty looks every time I took a bite. Again, the description sounded better than the real thing. It was just okay. Pass on both.
I smelled all of the teas. I ended up with the sakura rose because it smelled the most balanced to me. It was pretty mellow, but nice. The girl behind the counter was very friendly and offered me some honey to go with it. The tea was the highlight of my trip.
Stick to the beverages and you should be okay.
