I love this place.
I dropped in the other day to do some work and managed to find a table. I just wanted tea, but between the two of us, we ended up getting FOUR TREATS! they were delicious.
I'm so happy that this coffee shop opened in this area because:
- real great baked goods which is rare on this street. While a small part of me may agree with some reviewers about the price, I have no issues paying them. The baked goods are worth it and different - and far more superior than any other establishment in the west end - and the prices are not that uncommon to what you see nowadays.
- something about the layout of this place works. I think because the cashier is off to the back and the traffic is off to the side; so if you are working, you are not constantly interrupted by baby carriages bumping into you or the espresso machine going off every two seconds.
- the crowd is not the typical roncey uptight - let's stare at each other crowd. It's incredibly casual and relaxed. Everything from the furniture to the tableware are just lovely and not too contrived.
Well done!
