| - A regular haunt of mine, the second that I heard that this place was opening up I was sold! Good coffee in my neighbourhood? Yes please!! At the beginning, it was difficult to stay long periods of time, due to the lack of food offered, but now they have sandwiches, salads, offerings of viennoisseries, muffins, and cookies.
Of all the different types of coffees, I love their GodShot (Espresso), Guatemala, Peru and Colombia roasts. I have also tried their Ethiopian but for me, that was something I had to get used to, and perhaps not for me (too flowery tasting and not enough of the "in-your-face-smooth-dark-caramel-to-wake-you-up feeling." Since their coffees come in one size, I've often double-fisted my to-go cups, because I know what I need to get me going in the right direction.
The ambience in the cafe is mellow and chill, perfect to do some work, and people watch a bit, most interesting is their wednesday afternoon cuppings, which is offered guided by their employees to get the most of cafe tastings. Big windows in the front makes you feel more included in the outside world with cool seating available. The neat thing about this cafe is that towards the back of it, you can see the big coffee roaster that they use to make their unique blends.
The staff is great with their suggestions, and also love the single pours to make you feel special when it comes to a great cup of coffee. For those who think it's too far out of the way for them, it's well worth the trek!
