I want to like this place. Really.
The good:
- They have cubanos listed on the menu
- Free wifi
- They roast their own beans and I think you can buy unroasted beans too
- It's really big inside
- There is lots of parking
The bad:
- The cubano was not 'west coast style' which is what the girl told me I was asking for when I explained it to her. I have no idea. The cubano is just a shot pulled with sugar. I asked her to go ahead and do that, and put it in a cappuccino, and she brought me a latte.
- Even though it's big, I always end up sitting by the grinder/scale which is LOUD.
- The reason there is lots of parking is because it's hidden; it's in a very weird place off Queen East right near the DVP.
- I find the people who work there are flakey and have no sense of urgency when it comes to asking what I want, or making it. In fairness, that seems to suit the other patrons just fine.
The weird:
- there was a collage group there last time I stopped in, and a dude was making a mannequin collage from barbies cut form catalogs. He reminded me of someone who drives a van with no windows.
All in all... I would probably go here again, just to change it up, but I wouldn't make this part of my regular routine.
