| - I hope my review will bring these guys up to a full four stars, because they deserve it.
I come here to get a couple hours of work done usually, when I need a break from working at home and am craving espresso-based coffee.
Everything about this place is *calm*, which makes it a great environment to sit and focus, with free wifi and a clientele all either reading or working on laptops. You're in good company here if you're a self-starter.
The cafe is located in Petite Laurier, a quaint and fairly quiet part of Laurier, with an outdoor terrace on Marquette. The terrace is typically full, but you can always find a spot indoors.
Music is kept at the right volume so as to remain a groovy background noise that conversation doesn't have to compete with. Just my style.
Treats and sammies are all great (paninis) - and I've tried many of them. Also, excellent Americanos. The staff are just as calm and cool as the rest of the vibe here. Friendly, unfazed, and it's all smooth sailing.
Come here planning to raise a ruckus with your posse, and I'll bet you'll get some heavy stink-eye. This is my office-away-from-home-office par excellence. Also, I typically only see small children outside. Maybe the acoustics inside amplify sound, leading to the low key convo or solitary inhabitants inside. Whatever it is, it works for me!
