I drive by this coffee house many times but never drop in until today. Why Today? I was attracted by the signage outside, it's white, it's bright and it looked very modern unlike the other shops on main st Newmarket. Best of all, it had the word espresso on it which immediately caught my attention being a coffee lover. Aside from a good brunch place, another thing missing in Aurora/Newmarket is a good independent roaster/coffee house. I am a frequent visitor of DT cafes like pilot, reunion island, Te aro so to see an independent coffee shop in my hood was super exciting.
Although the outside looked very modern, the inside isn't very so. It had old tables and chairs but work quite well with the exposed brick wall. The space extends to the back with shelfs of book available for you grab and read at your leisure while sipping on a latte. This idea I like however, there were 2 big communal tables in the room which made the space felt really cramped.
Now on to the coffee, I ordered an americano misto to test out the taste of their beans. It's not as good as the places I mentioned above but it's not bad either so I would much rather come here to support local small businesses than the typical Starbucks or Tim's.
I think this place got great potential if the inside also gets a facelift like the outside.
