Disclosure: I have not yet tried the coffee here, so my review is based solely on the service, food and iced tea I had.
Been watching this space throughout the spring as they renovated. They opened just in time for me to pop in to avoid a heavy rainshower a few weeks ago.
As I had just had a coffee earlier that morning, I ordered a strawberry rose iced tea and braced myself for something kind of weird and artificial tasting but it was refreshing and delicious.
The coffee shop has a nice selection of little pastries unlike those offerings found elsewhere. I had the "chocolate croissant", which wasn't like a traditional croissant. Hard to describe it but it was smaller and denser with a cocoa-like chocolate woven into it. In any case it was a break from the usual and I thought it was very tasty. The owner also sent me home with a apricot pastry that I shared with my husband and we both thought was splendid. I also had a sample of an unusual biscotti from Montreal that had an almost nougat-like texture. Like I said, if you're looking for a little treat of something different this is the place.
Service was outstanding, though I admit I lucked out by arriving when it wasn't busy. I imagine given their proximity to Donlands station (next door) that the place gets pretty crazy busy during rush hour.
I'm definitely going to visit Marvel again soon. In fact, I think I'll stroll over there this morning and try out the coffee...
