| - I really wanted this to be my favorite neighbourhood cafe, especially now that Alternative Grounds is gone, and I know a bunch of AG regulars have made ATJ their new hangout.
It's cozy, but there's still room to come in with a bunch of friends or to have a coffee-shop meeting; there's good treats from a number of good local bakeries including Dufflet; reliable wifi; great staff; huge windows to watch the street...
... but the coffee is so disappointing.
Seriously, I don't know if it's old beans, or not enough grounds, or left in the pot too long, or what, but the problem with All That Jazz is the coffee. They often have four different varieties of drip coffee available, one flavoured, which is a red flag to me. The coffee world has moved on from this.
I get Americanos instead, but that's a manual pull, and so that's unreliable too. It's better than the drip, at least.
I really want them to do well here, especially with all the coffee competition that's coming up on Roncy, but it's time to at least catch up to the second wave of cafes -- doubly so now that their bean supplier, Reunion Island, is opening their own cafe down the street.
