Another cute coffee joint uptown - yes!
I came to this place during the winter holidays and it was quite busy.
The decor of the place was nice but as most people started already, the seating was limited. If you need a table for 2 it's okay buy anything more will take some time to find a table as it is self seating and there's only 2 tables that can seat 4, 4 tables that seat 2, and about 8-10 bar stools against the wall. It's also likely that you end up sharing a table with other customers.
Onto the food:
We ordered cappuccinos which were quite good but not the best we've ever had. Their drink menu was very intriguing and I am definitely down for trying some of their other beverages.
They also had a good amount of breakfast/brunch items on their menu in my opinion. I was able to try a few different dishes. First was the smoked salmon benny.. Yum. No complaints. Their potatoes look very appealing to the eyes but I personally found them having a sweet note to them and I was really hopping they would be savoury. They had a great texture to them though! Next I got to try the peameal bacon benny and it was okay. We were mostly disappointed by the lack of avocado that was supposed to be in it. There was maybe one chunk which I was lucky to get. The smoked salmon was much better. Lastly, I was able to try their buttermilk pancakes which needless to say, were a good attempt at the infamous Mildred buttermilk pancakes..But much smaller. The down side was they were quite dry and for me personally, the berry compote/sauce was very tarte. Perhaps I'll try it again during berry season.
Overall, this place is a great place to go to for those in the area as some of us will travel downtown for a good brunch joint. This is pretty good for uptown but it does have it's cons. I would definitely pop in here to grab a drink to-go but I don't think I'll line up again for 45 mins just to get a table.
