As one of the few coffee shops open late on a Sunday night, we decided to drop in and give it a try.
As others have mentioned, it's different. Once we got through the stench of weed and people sitting on the sidewalk, the inside of the store was quite interesting. The walls were very decorated, which added some charm. They have a nice machine in there, but the equipment quite clearly isn't cleaned as often as I would have liked.
They don't have syrups, so my wife had to get hazelnut flavoured beans instead. (For those interested, flavoured beans are usually the cheapest beans, as the infused flavours tend to cover up the crappiness of the bean.) The lattes weren't bad, but they didn't really have much taste. They were fairly bitter and "blah".
On the plus side, the barista who helped us was very nice.
Maybe it's because it was 9 pm on a Sunday, but I could have gotten a better latte from Starbucks. Sorry, Roasterie, but I won't be coming back.
