Always wanting to support the little guys in the independently driven Parkdale hood.
From the reviews I am to understand that the plans for this space is to have rotating pop-ups? I like the concept but the execution I am unsure about.
Upon entering this large space, it had this strewn about feel which for parkdale is fine. I found things a bit discombobulated. The barista was not very friendly and the pop-up vintage just seemed like an unmanned mess that occupied the other side of the store.
The old 'Mascot' name can still be seen in the corner.
The americano I had purchased I cannot say was out of this world. It was okay.
I will say, I am glad to give it a try. Happy to see that such a large space is being used but I do have a feeling it is going to take much more time to find its feet. For me, I would say it will take a long time before I step back in. I think if customer service was on par with its neighbourhood counterparts I would have considered going back sooner whether for coffee or the pop-up shops.
