* Food and drink
- They once had some great treats from Sweets of the Earth, but I haven't seen anything on offer from them in ages. Haven't tried the other food.
- Their brand of soy milk isn't great - i'm nearly always left with residue at the end of my drink
- Coffee is great when it's good, but i've had one or two bitter experiences
- Iced drinks are lovely (although with the soy milk issue it's ruined a bit)
- Teas are done in a french press and are great quality. Mm!
* Surroundings
- The building it's in is just generally lovely.
- Decor is very lovely - the old bowling lane communal tables are terrific! And the nice big front windows are great for ogling the world as it goes by.
- Up the back is nice if you want to have a sit and chat with friends, but it can be hard to get a seat; communal tables are good if you're on your own but i've had people sneer at me for sitting there with a friend or two and talking.
*Other
- Really handy to the streetcar and to Chinatown/Kensington.
- Great free use of washroom even if you just walk straight through DH - it's my downtown saviour.
I think if DH wasn't so hit and miss coffee-wise, then it'd grab that fourth star no problem. Change that soy milk, people!
