  • My 3rd spot for Tokyo Smoke in the city and this one was not obvious to find. It's buried a few streets away from Trinity Bellwoods on a quiet side street. With Sam James and White Squirrel coffee right on Queen St, this spot is definitely the lesser known for the area. This location is a bit different from the first two spots... it's definitely a take out spot as it's more of a coffee counter in a warehouse space that faces outside in the summer. Inside, there is maybe 3 bar stools on a very shallow shelf to drink but it's mainly a store for their cannabis items. Compared to the Queen St location, this is probably half the space. My vice is coffee and not the cannabis here BUT if you are curious, the staff seems quite knowledgeable to help you. One of the barista was very helpful to another couple who were looking at the different pipes and other items to purchase. Service here is prompt and quick. Sometimes their credit machine is down so it can be cash at times. There is 2 outdoor picnic tables that you can sit down. There's no shade so in the summer, it can get hot very fast. One negative thing and it's not a knock on Tokyo... but rather the neighbourhood. Tokyo smoke is dog friendly as they have a water bowl out for dogs but they also have some dog treats in a jar. Terrible thing... some really dumb owners leave the bags of dog crap in the line up area for the coffee. REALLY? It's just mindblowing how selfish some people are. Anyhow... back to the coffee. I love Tokyo Smoke on Queen and Assembly. It's just a delicious cup. Here... there's something different. Flat White - I know they use the same beans as the other 2 Tokyo Smoke spots I went to (Assembly and Queen St W) but after coming here twice, I think there's something different on how they pull the espressos. I've had their flat whites twice and it pulls more acidic and sour than the other spots. I'm not sure why as I loved my drink in Assembly. I have the admit the second pour was far closer to ones Ive had before but maybe it's the machine? Either way, it's a harder drink to be so acidic. 3.5/5 Dirty Chai Latte - They use Chaiwala honey chai... this is just awesome. And they steep it enough time to give it the robust ginger and lightly sweet honey taste. The star anise does comes out as well. The problem was the espresso shot put in there... it just pulled the drink towards the harsh sour side. I think it must be the machine that is doing the espresso shots weirdly or that their grinder needs a cleaning. 3.5/5 With it being hidden from the main streets, I can see this is a little forgotten when rhyming off coffee in the area. It's definitely above average for a cup of coffee but hoping something changes for the better soon!
