I met some friends here yesterday for a coffee. The place is on the smaller side with an old world italian feel to the decor, which is a nice departure from pretty much every other cafe in the city.

dislikes
- charge of $0.50 for soy/almond milk. I almost couldn't get a latte on my indie coffee passport because the soy brought me over the 4$ max! Personally, I think that that's a fault of the passport - I'm happy to pay the extra 50 cents, but they should put into their rules that if you're going over because of a milk choice, that you're allowed to.
- bathroom was super super super sketchy. It was a building bathroom, rather than belonging to the cafe, so you had to go into the hallway of the building and down the hall to find it. Dislike!
- the "patio" consisted of a bench. I put this as a pro as well since I get that a lot of cafes don't even have a patio. The way the buildings were, the rest of the street was full sun and the block with the cafe was full shade!
