Number 1 sign I knew I would like this coffee shop: there was no sectioned off area for kids to play in (unlike another coffee shop I frequent in my neighbourhood that may rhyme with Hood Worth). I like my coffee with crossword puzzles, novels, and adult conversation.
My fiance, Jason, and I had a couple of hours to kill, so we decided to step out of the rain. This location is busy, but quiet. He ordered a caramel machiatto and I ordered the Waves Latte. For the record, Jason is a huge fan of another-corporation-that-rhymes-with-Tar-Mucks' caramel machiatto. Now that he has tried Waves, he has converted and scours neighbourhoods looking for the closest one.
I really like this location because it's clean, it's in a trendy part of town, and people watching is fabulous. The staff is super friendly and I like the added touch of the leafs drawn into my foam. they also have a meeting room that you can book for $25/hour.
We now make a point of making this our meeting spot when we need to meet people downtown. And Jason makes a point of ordering two machiattos to tide him over till his next fix.
So obviously, we will be back!
