| - UPDATE: I am reviewing the rating to upgrade to 4 stars, this place definitely has the consistency and the taste to be a solid coffee shop (updates in CAPS).
This a new establishment in the run-down basement of the Sheraton Hotel.
location 4/5 located at a very busy corner or the PATH system, where richmond st tunnel/path meets with the york st tunnel/path.hopefully paves way for lots of visitors..
the place 3.5/5 It is a coffee shop with a modern attempt to incorporate some rustic pieces, such as the steel/iron bar chairs as well as barn board/beam wood pieces throughout. there are places to sit, although it feels a little too spacious to be cozy inside, and there is definitely not enough inside to keep your eyes occupied, and you end up staring at the disgusting rundown path hallway.
price 4/5 The coffee is definitely at the higher midpoint of the coffee chain hierarchy, close to starbucks prices and possibly even dinneen coffee co. (UPGRADED TO 4 BASED ON SURVEY OF NEW OTHER COFFEE SHOPS)
I got a small latte, and have also tried other latte options, such as almond, and have also ordered americanos and espresso.
The coffee 4/5.. taste is quite strong, and it seems like the coffee is of good quality, noting the oil in the drink as a sign of fresh and decent coffee. (UPGRADE TO 4 BASED ON CONSISTENCY)
service 4/5 nice servers.
overall I enjoyed the spirit of the place, as it is a step in the right direction to revitalize that area of the PATH, but the place itself needs so work in terms of its interior and potentially a re-working of its pricing, because that area of the path will not have a high traffic area of the "bay street" high earner types that this place is catering too. Potentially the hotel visitors would frequent here.
