Coffee/tea, clothing and smoking accessories...
What an unusual combination found in this tiny hipster shop. Despite the pics, there were no chairs inside when we went yesterday (Sunday). But there are seats outside and luckily it was a warmer winter day so sitting outside wasn't unbearably cold.
I'm still not quite sure what the focus is here but people are coming in for coffee so this seems like the main attraction.
We discovered they house their very own men's fashion line on our way to the washroom. The door way leading to the other small room was kept closed so this definitely can be missed.
Their fashion collection was small with limited sizes and prices are up there for any local designer, about $600 for a suit sweater and I believe it was $200 or $300 for a simple white dress shirt. We chatted to who seem like the owner and apparently in the next month they would be licensed to sell weed. This would make sense and compliment the smoking accessories in their shop.
They have a good selection of unique aromatic and floral teas to choose from and you can even smell it before you choose your tea.
Ordered: Creme brûlée latte. It came in a small paper cup for ~$5.30. One of the most expensive drinks on their small menu.
The process of watching them torch sugar on top of the latte was neat but the latte itself was nothing special. The intention was to harden the sugar but the latte was hot that I didn't sense the harden sugar when I drank it. I just mixed the sugar into the latte so that I can actually taste the sweetness as oppose to it floating on top of the foam. Well that really killed the purpose of torching.
The retired gentleman who served us was friendly and helpful. As a coffee shop, I would appreciate it a lot more if there were more comfortable seating inside and that the latte was less gimmicky. Perhaps I just ordered the wrong thing and better to treat this as on-the-go but even then I'm not sure whether I'll prefer this over sbux or Aroma.
