This is my favourite coffee shop in the area. The staff is really nice (especially Bruce Ly!), and they really care about the quality of your coffee or cocktail.
I love how this cafe blends coffee culture geek with cocktail chic - they always have something to satisfy your drink needs, regardless of whether you need caffeine or booze. Their espresso drinks are expertly pulled, and I love their choice of Pilot Beans - they're absolutely delicious. I had my first siphoned coffee here, and Bruce took the time to explain the process and teach me what tasting notes to look for when drinking siphoned coffee (which is AMAZING!).
Their cocktails are also well blended and inventive - I'd recommend any of them that incorporate alcohol with coffee.
I also love the atmosphere here. The staff is chatty without being intrusive, and they really care about the quality of their food and drinks. There's always room at the bar, and they don't mind if you set up there to work for a few hours.
Oh, and they serve the best cappuccino in the city. I've tried quite a few and I just can't stop coming back here,
