| - I visited this place when it had just opened (as in, it was just a cafe with no brunch options yet) so things may be different.
This is a small cafe located near Highway 7 and Unionville Main Street in the same tiny plaza as Hibiki. When I say small... I mean really small, even smaller than Alchemy Coffee literally across the road. Parking may be a challenge, as is even getting in and out of the plaza as this part of Highway 7 is often quite busy. There is residential parking around though, if you don't mind a short walk. I still have only been here once solely because I don't want to deal with driving here.
The interior is cute and train station themed - the area where they take your orders and make the coffee is aesthetically on point, if that matters to you. They've made the best of a very small space. However, seating is very, very limited. Even on a day with full sunlight, because of the narrow space, light often doesn't reach to the back area of the cafe and I found it challenging to do work that didn't involve using a laptop. Most of the seating in the back of the cafe is also very, very narrow with booth seats with enough room for one person - if you have bags you will have a harder time and same if you're a bigger or taller guy. I'm 4'11 and asked to change seats because even I found it a bit constricting. This kind of defeats the purpose of booth seating... I feel like having regular tables and chairs would be a more efficient use of the space and would also perhaps let more light in. There are a couple that can seat four near the entrance. Surprisingly, they have an accessible washroom that is very large and roomy.
Small thing - I found the ventilation really loud in here (this may have changed since my last visit). I also found the air very dry as my eyes were irritated.
Service was friendly. I don't know too much about coffee, but I know they use Hatch coffee beans which from what I know are lighter in flavour and there are different flavour profiles to their coffee. I was curious about the rose latte - it was on par with other cafes that do specialty coffee and at a similar price point. Light in flavor, which was good for me because again, I'm not a huge coffee drinker. However, I didn't really taste rose. One day when I finally get myself to choose Platform instead of Alchemy (which is always so busy) I'll try their matcha white chocolate latte which I've heard good things about.
