A beautiful coffee oasis - you actually feel like you in Victoria, BC - where Pamenar sources their gorgeous beans from. Lovely touches like lemon or cucumber infused water free for the taking. Beautiful back patio. Delicious sandwiches and sweets. Polite fellow customers and baristas without attitude. Such a pleasant change from the coffee snobery served up at most other independent cafes. I do not need a fake, cheery Starbucks "Good Morning!" - but it is quite nice to get a little eye contact and no direct hostility with my Americano.
