| - Coffee: 5 stars
Ambiance: 3 stars
Service: 3 starts
Food: don't know
There are few spots on the Plateau that have coffee this good. In fact, I usually have to trek up to Mile-End to find something comparable.
The beans/grinds they're using are really something else: bold, full bodied, and very well-suited for holding their own in lattes, cappuccinos, and mochas. In fact, I usually drink black coffee or straight espressos, but I make an exception here. I'd recommend trying the mocha; it's particularly exquisite.
The service, however, tends to be kind of aloof and slow. For what it's worth, though, these baristas seem to *really* know what they're doing.
As for ambiance, it tends to be loud, brightly lit, with awkward seating. In fact, it's very difficult to get a table, and in more than a year of living around the corner, I've never been able to nab one.
I will admit, though, that I rarely walk by without popping in to get a coffee.
