In the land of trendy coffee shops, this place is a true gem. While many of the other coffee shops in the neighbourhood feel like they're the "see and be seen" type of place this place is quaint, good, and friendly.
The coffee tastes great, nothing spectacular but just generally good coffee, and the tea is wonderful too. They have a great back patio and play awesome music. I spent the afternoon here working and found it to be relaxing and simple. The best part was the staff was friendly and seemed to have an ongoing relationship with the patrons which doesn't seem to happen in other coffee shops in the neighbourhood where the staff are sometime too cool for school.
My only critique would be that is closes early.
